It has been an interesting decade for Tamil cinema.
Vijay’s efforts have earned him the title ‘Ilaya Thalapathi’ (Young Commander) from his fans.Īt some point in his career, he also acquired the habit of biting the collar of his shirt in a trademark gesture that begs lampooning. It will soon be remade in Hindi with Akshay Kumar in the lead. Though there were protests against the film by Muslim groups, the film netted Rs 180 crore at the box office, according to the financial report released by Eros International for its quarter ending 31 December 2013. Their love is cemented when she confesses that she’s smoked and still has a weakness for red wine. Through the song, the boxer plays American football with a rugby ball and soccer kit, throws a javelin, and plays tennis, basketball and volleyball. After asking whether she’s a penguin or a female dolphin, the lyrics move on to suggesting that radar technology must be used to track the captain’s heart and sonar to measure the depth of his love. This is the trigger for a dream song called Antarctica. Having rejected her in an arranged marriage set-up, because he finds her too traditional with her long hair (which turns out to be a wig) and translucent sari (which she later discards for shorts and spaghetti top), he realises he made an error of judgment when he sees her at a college boxing tournament that merits police security after taking a few hits on being distracted by his presence, she visualises him rejecting her, screams, “ Aaaiiiiiiiii!” and knocks down her opponent. The latest, Murugadoss’ Thuppakki, marries terror with the love story of an Army captain and a female boxer. Since the early 2000s, he’s churned out hit after mindless hit.
#NAYAGAN TAMIL MOVIE SCENES SERIES#
However, after a series of bewilderingly successful romantic films, Vijay switched to action. It made no sense for him to be either an action hero or a romantic hero. Vijay made his entry as a scrawny, curly-haired youngster who spent half his films dancing with a group of extras. The climax of the film involves the dancer, now in a wheelchair, getting off the wheels to fight the antagonist, and the big revelation is that he feigned his crippling to atone for the rape. Now branded ‘Ultimate Star Ajith’, he appeared in a triple role-as the dancer and as his twin sons. Of these, the biggest hit was Varalaru, the story of an effeminate dancer who rapes a woman to avenge the death of his mother, which was caused by a cardiac arrest that, in turn, resulted from the woman mocking his feminine bearing and dumping him at the altar. For Ajith, that marked the beginning of a series of critically panned but commercially successful films. The nickname given to him by his fans, ‘Thala’ (literally, ‘head’) is from the film too. Ajith turned ‘action hero’ with AR Murugadoss’ Dheena in 2001. Many of his early films, mostly family dramas and love stories, were critically acclaimed, but few were box office hits. His Tamil still carries the tinge of an Anglicised accent. His debut was in Telugu, and initially, someone had to dub for him in Tamil. He got into modelling, and later films, to fund a career in motor racing. The half-Sindhi Ajith, now 41, was born and raised in Andhra Pradesh.
It was a quasi-replay of the Kamal Haasan-Rajinikanth rivalry-their fans, too, would often clash with each other, till Ajith disbanded all his fan clubs in 2011.īoth were unlikely stars. Among them were Ajith Kumar and Vijay, both of whom switched from romantic roles to action roles. Some of them would go on to become the biggest stars of the new generation. Then, a young crop of male leads broke into the industry. In the 1990s, the Tamil film industry saw the age of inexplicable heroes, each with a thinner moustache, redder eyes and softer paunch.
The Tamil film industry is an extraordinary place
