Finally the Outstanding Performers
_______________________________________________________________________________
3. Kamal as "Velu Naicker" in "Nayakan"
3. Kamal as "Chappini" in Pathinaru Vaithinile
2. Shivaji as "Choudry" in ThangaPadakkam
2. M.R. Radha in RathaKaneer
2. Shivaji in Thiruvilayadal
2. Shivaji as "Kattabhoman" in "Veera Pandiya Kattabhoman"
2. Shivaji as Appar Swamigal in Thiruvarchelvar
1. Shivaji in Vietnam Veedu
1. Shivaji in "Gauravam" as "Parister Rajinikanth".
________________________________________________________________________________
"Parister Rajinikanth" in "Gauravam" by Shivaji Sir is the best performance in my humble opinion
While reviewing we can say that the acting is good in this Scene here and there. But in Gauravam
the whole movie Shivaji excelled in all the scenes. Shivaji's ExtraOrdinary Outstanding Talent is utilised properly.

  Kajan,
  
  I could not follow the following in your post..
  //Radha in Sinna koudar //
  
  What is the movie? Chinna Kounder? (Because you have mentioned Vijaykanth in "Sinnakoudar" before) But the heroine in that movie was Sukanya. Or is it something else you are talking about?

  'Sevidan' character (who is the actor??), in 'Nizhal Nijamahirathu' is very good.
  
  Hero of the film Kamal hardly appears 50% of the movie frames. The debut Heroine then Shoba was given gr8 Character and the unknown face 'Sevidan' turned out to be the Real hero in the story.
  
  There were the good signs that only director and his story rules, no hero worships and unnecessary scence were appearing as of now. Great Movie to watch

  Some unforgettable roles, where the characters merge with the actors:
  Shivaji as Kattabomman, 9 roles in Navaraatthiri, 3 in Deiva Magan, Thiruvarutchelvar, Thiruvilayaadal, Kandhan Karunai (Sivan, Veerabaahu), Shanmugasundaram (Thillaana Mohanaambaal), Pudhiya Paravai, Edhiroli, Vietnam Veedu, Thangappadhakkam, Gauravam, ooty varai Uravu, Jallikkattu, Lakshmi vandhaacchu, Sivandha Mann and many more!!!
  Kamal - Salangai Oli, Nayakan, Indian
  Rajinikanth - Kaalaiyan, Alex Pandian
  Vikram - Sethu
  Nagesh - Server sundaram, Edhirneecchal, Neerkkumizhi, Navagraham, Major Chandrakanth, Kaadhalikka Neramillai
  Major Sundararaajan - Major Chandrakanth, Edhiroli
  I humbly state that to mention Shivaji sir's roles selectively is a great insult to the genius and his talent and versatility, even though we do so till date. No one ever bettered him in merging into the character in each and every film that he acted in.
  Special mentions are his role as Asokan in "Annaiyin Aanai" and as "Shivaji", as these are as an actor within a film.

  To all,
  
  I think most of miss another hero Mammutty ?
  
  Shakthi ,
  
  I have catergorised some heros and heroines they delivered good films.
  
  Revathy,Bhanupriya,Shuhasini,Radha r from same time, unlike these artist presently we rarely c one or two.
  
  There is no other heroine in Kokulam but hero Jeyram. Am I correct ?
  
  About teleserial, I saw some episodes of 'shakthi' , few vazhkai and then i haven't got chance to c teledramas. But my sisters said she is very impreesive in teledramas comparing to movie characters.
  
  And overall I guess female characters in tele serials are stroner than movies
  
  Back to topic,
  Pl anyone can list luxmy's great movies ? Very old artist did overacting, luxmy also falls into this catergory ? Any movie for overacting ?
  I forgot movies what I saw.

  kajan,
  
  yeah radha, bhanupriya etc were too good.
  
  I never watch teleserials so I am unaware of her performances there.
  
  I do remember vishwamitr which I used to watch.
  
  Yes, in gokulam veedu the second hero is jeyaram.
  
  regarding lakshmi, i agree with u when u say she over acted in some movies. nevertheless great actress!
  
  Veetukku veedu
  Indru nee naalai naan
  avasara police 100
  pasaparavaigal

  When we talk on over acting..I feel
  RADHIKA OVER ACTS TOO!

  Hi
  Sivaji is the greatest, no two ways about it.
  Nowadays, actors have the facility to do so many
  changes to their appearances. In contrast, during
  Sivaji's days he did not have the facility. Still
  he was able to live the role he donned quite
  superbly. His appearance was majestic, his walk graceful, his dialogue delivery outstanding.
  Simply speaking, there can be no actor like him.
  That is that

  nizhal nijamaagiradu..."sevidan" character is not Tinu anand. The actor is 'Anumandhu' and he has acted in many movies directed by Mouli

  Sivaji Ganeshan - in almost all of his movies
  
  Raghuvaran - almost all of his movies, esp Anjali/Basha/dhaya.....
  
  Rajnikanth _ Mullum malrum, 6 il irunthu 60 vathu varai (what a realistic acting), basha, Bhuvana oru ?, moondru mugam, moondru mudichu
  
  Kamal - Hey ram, Alavndhan, Salanghai Oli, Naayaghan, Nammavar, Maha nathi
  
  Karthick - varusham 16, that film with mohan & revathi, can't remember the name
  
  Vikram - kaasi, Sethu
  
  Sivakumar _Sindhu bharavi / kadhalukku mariyadhai
  
  Vijayakumar - all of his "Naatanmai roles", I think he is simply sperb in these get ups :)
  
  the rest, nothing to say about

  I think Surya in Nantha is one of the best characters that I have seen...mind you I am still young and I can't refer back to Sivaji and Kamal like the way the most of you are. I think Bala is a brilliant man (directed Nantha, and Sethu)

  rajinikanth in raghavendra was the best of rajini. Even kamal cud not have done the role so well.
  
  Thespian sivaji also never attempted something like that.

  Hey how can u say Kamal could not have done that role in Raghavendra. This is a great insult to Kamal. If the role would have done by Kamal then u couldn't imagine rajini even in Mohan's role in that film.

  Kamal's "Inthiran Santhiran" is also a good one that was missed in this thread
  Partheepan- Anthapuram was also a good one
