Awesome post Divya.
Superstar's special on the eve of his birthday and a double treat at that too ... Loved it very much...
Superstar symbolizes the cultural richness of India A maharastrian by birth , kannadika by mother tongue who went on to become a tamil icon by destiny.
Again our Jalal a Mughal born in a Rajput home went on to become Akbar the great a legend india could pride upon for ages to come.
i wish to add a dialog from padaiyappa here
"Vayasanalum unga alagum styleum innum unna vittu pogala"
(Even if you become old your style and beauty doesn't go away)
and how aptly it suits our dashing abbahuzoor .Day by day our abh seems to grow younger and charming.
and couldn't resist but add this super hit dialog of our rajini from padaiyappa
"Athigama Aasapadra ambalayum, Athigama Kobapadra pomballayum"
(The man who lust for more and the women who is angry always never could live well)
sorry for my poor translation but wish our abh would say this to sharif and ruq
The songs you selected were superb and my favorites...
Sundari kannal is a classic and looks like written for our jj .Most of the time our jj seems to speak only through eyes and love this song "katukuyilu manasukula" from that too.
This song made me remember the good old days of Abdul and jalal the unique friendship they shared ,even being a king how our jalal risked his own life to save Abdul and these lines are for their friendship
"Natpai kooda karpai pola enuvaen "
(For me Friendship is like chastity )
Though superstar movies are mostly rajini all the way i love this 2 movies for an equally strong female
antagonists .
1..Padaiyappa(how could i leave neelambri's "padaiyappa you are mine" when ruqs "jalal you are mine" is still resonating in my ears and a coincidence at that neelambiri is cousin of padaiyappa)
and i love this song "minsara kanna" an evertime favorite. and wish our jalal say this to ru
adan vizhiyil vazhivadhu
amudhamalla vizham endru kanden
adan nizhalaiyum thoduvadhu
pazhiyendru vilakivitten
(I found the eyes doesn't hold elixir but poison ,even touching its shadow is a sin and so left)
2.Mannan
My evertime favorite movie of rajini and an equally sizzling vijayashanthi makes it so special.The songs are awesome from "rajathi Raja un thanthirangal " to the iconic "amma endru " song
but mentioning
Sandi Raaniyae Ennakku Kappam Kattu Nee
Jenma Jenmamaai Ennakku Kattu Pattu Nee
as it makes me remember the old jallad who thought he could rule over jo ... but it seems destiny had a different plan..
Once again awesome awesome post divi..You made me nostalgic of both the golden days of ja and the good old movies of our superstar.
