On Rajinikanth's 63rd b'day, dialogues popularised by him
Chennai, Dec 12 (IANS) Every time southern superstar
Rajinikanth delivered a dialogue in his own trademark style, audiences
have cheered and rooted for him in unison.
On his 63rd birthday
Thursday, IANS lists some dialogues that were made famous by the actor
in his over three-decade long career:
- "16 Vayathinile": Rajini
as the film's antagonist introduced us to one of the popular
catch-phrases of a long forgotten era - "Idhu eppadi irukku?" (How's
this?). This line was so admired that even after three decades since the
film's release, it still lingers in the minds of the actor's fans.
- "Murattu Kaalai": Rajnikanth as a villager in the film popularised the dialogue "Seeeviduven" (I'll chop off your head).
-
"Baasha": As long as auto rickshaws ply in Tamil Nadu, the line "Naan
oru thadava sonna, nooru thadava sonna maadiri" (Anything I say once is
equivalent to saying it a hundred times) will be remembered. Rajinikanth
as an auto driver delivered a knocker of a performance in this
commercially successful outing.
- "Arunachalam": His dialogue
"Andavan solran. Arunachalam seiran" (God commands, Arunachalam acts)
from the film will be recalled as one of the shortest yet powerful line
mouthed by the superstar in his career.
- "Padayappa": Another
highly successful film that's remembered for the actor's line "En Vazhi,
Thani Vazhi" (My way is my own) and actress Ramya Krishnan's brilliant
portrayal of greedy Neelambari in the film.
- "Muthu": One of
Rajinikanth's popular films that enjoyed a successful run even in Japan,
the line from the film "Naan eppo varuven, epdi varuvennu yarkum
theriyathu. Aana vara vendiya nerathile vandidven" (Nobody knows when or
how I will come, but I will come when the time is right) has a strong
recall value even today.
- "Sivaji": Contrary to the other films
of the superstar, "Sivaji" had two popular dialogues - "Summa pere ketta
athrudula" (Doesn't the earth shatter at the calling of my name?) and
"Kanna, panni than kootama varum aana Singam single than varum" (My
dear, pigs always come in an army but a lion always walks alone).
