Top 10 unfogetable dialogues in tamil cinema

[untitled.bmp]


10.‘Manandal Maha Devi. Illayael Marana Devi!’ – P S Veerappa, the evil scheming minister does not just stop with one of his trademark guffaws but also has the temerity to announce his liking for Savithri, the Princess Mahadevi , and steals thunder from an upcoming handsome hero MGR with this punch line in Mahadevi.

9.‘Sabaash, sariyana potti!’ – P S Veerappa goes ballistic, watching the competition between the dancing sensations of those times, Padmini and Vyjayanti Mala, with this innocuous but popular line in ‘Vanchi Kottai Valiban’.

8. ‘Netrikann thirapinum kutram kutramae!’ – A P Nagarajan is not one to be outdone by an angry Shiva (Sivaji) who arrives at the durbar of the Pandian King to defend the ditty he ghostwrites for Dharumi and comes up with this classic one-liner in Thiruvilayadal. Has almost attained the status of a literary metaphor and probably has even inspired someone to start a magazine bearing that name.


7. ‘Nee munthinda nokku, naan munthinda nekku’ – Prestige Padmanabhan Sivaji feels traumatized after his retirement from service and also by the neglect and indifference of his beloved children. He has only this one-liner to console his wife Padmini in ‘Vietnam Veedu’ and the handkerchiefs come out to stifle the sobs and sniffs from the ladies section of the hall.

6.‘Parattai, patthavachitiyae parattai!’ – 16 Vayathinile is a watershed film in the Tamil cinema history for it irrevocably altered the course of movies made this side of Cooum. Bharathiraja came into his own, Ilayaraja the maestro gave the music lovers a taste of things to come and Rajini, Kamal and Sridevi showed they had arrived.

5.‘Neenga nallavara kettavara?’ – The grandson of Varadaraja Naicker (Kamal Hassan) asks a seemingly innocent question in ‘Nayagan’, little knowing its deep philosophical implications. Naicker is stumped and says he does not know. Was the do-gooder criminal a good guy or a bad one? Was this question meant for the viewers?

4. ‘Kadavulae, Kadavulae’- Rajini to Kushboo in Annamalai. Thanks to a comedy with a snake and this classic line

3.‘Mannippu, thamizhla enakku pidikkatha vaarthai!’ –Statistics and violence prone Professor Ramana takes up arms to protect the society against corrupt officials and with this classic quote, polishes off vermin, in Eastwoodian style. The line has entered into every day language and has been parodied tirelessly, an indication of the popularity of a dialogue. Some say that this was the movie that brought out the politician in Vijayakanth to the fore. If ‘Captain’ ever has a successful political career, then this line will probably attain a cult status among his followers.


2.‘Maapu, vechuttanya aappu!’ – ‘Neenga engiyo poittenga saar’ says an admiring ‘Yettu’ to his smirking boss Janagaraj in ‘Apoorva Sahodarargal’ and caused a laugh riot among Tamil audiences across the world. But, the number two status has to go to Vadivelu who brought the theatre down with his antics with this one in Chandramukhi. And one never knew what happened to ‘Kovalu’ whose search he was on!

1.‘Naan oru thadavai sonna nooru thadavai sonna madhiri’ – If one were to name a dialogue as the ‘mother of all punch dialogues’, then this one has to get the honor.
