Awesome performance. Wonderful timing sense. Beautiful dialogue delivery
These are the words uttered usually when u describe an artist and especially when u describe an actor of great calibre like NAGESH. But i dont know the meaning of any of those written above. Those are cine-circle languages.
One thing i would know for sure is I love this man from my childhood. Simply i just cannot take my eyes of him when he is in the screen. It doesn't matter to me with which hero he plays or what role he plays. He is at ease in all the characters he play.
Yesterday, I happened to see SERVER SUNDARAM in SUN TV. God!!!!!!!!! Incredible he is. No other person could have played it so easily. Somehow I get attracted to the character he plays. It can either be a comedian, hero or character role or the role with negative shades.
I just love all of his films but the one that comes to my mind right now - Ethirneechel, Bama vijayam, Iru kodugal, server sundaram, Galatta kalyanam. The list is not exhaustive though i dont remember the names exactly.
And not to forget the screenplay of those days. They are picture perfect and dont loosely hung with loopholes. To be more specific i was dumbstruck seeing the movie SERVER SUNDARAM and the way each scene was dealt. There was clearly a thread woven for each and every scene.
Example from the movie
Nagesh's friend takes him to a production company for the chance. There when everyone teases he suddenly goes wild and acts mad. Then they realise that it was part of acting and praise him. One of the producer gives him advance for his next movie and when the other offers him , he cooly walks off asking him to meet him at his home.
If it was today's movie the scene would abruptly end there as if it was an hilarious scene. But when u look in the movie, the next scene begins like this....
Nagesh would be praying god to give him level-minded head so that he remains as he is now.At that time the friend comes home and would complain him of his behaviour towards the end at the production house. And the way he adjusted everything with the producer.
This sequence was utilised optimally for the next incident to follow.
Now, coming back to nagesh. I just can't stop raving about him even if he plays the bad guy in the movies like " Apoorva Sahodarargal, Cheran pandian and so".
His talent is not aptly recognised and not to mention about the awards.....
Even my kid rejoices his movies...............
I think that is the award which he has won.
