Atleast Danush is somewhat honest, down to earth, and attempting some stuff. Simbu, OTOH, delivers nothing, talks too much, both performance and BO is missing. Ennamo Screen Presence, athu ithunnu solraanga. Ennatha! how long can one try to survie in this heavy competition, just with Screen Presence?!?

IMHO, they are at same level ONLY there. That apart, Danush is surely Meters ahead(if not miles) of Simbu. And even after 10 years, Simbu is gonna remain the same. He will sustain, at max. I don't see any sign of he going towards doing interesting stuff, be it commercial or class stuff.
For past some time., Situation is such that Even Jeyam Ravi can easily bounce simbu in BO. And guess what, i don't think he will even feel exceeding Simbu at BO as an achievement.

In my opinion, they are not different and I wouldn't really jump into any such conclusion. Anyone can bounce back at the box office. Dhanush had his own share of horrible films and it took a Selvaraghavan to shape him well in the initial years and giving breaks at the right time (Remember PP dialogue. Kooda porathathukku padam ellam edukka vendi iurkku). I never expected Simbu to do VAaanam or VTV. You wouldn't know what will happen in the future. As long as we don't judge anyone's performance based on our hatred, we will be able to assess them in a different way. That's it.
-
From: selvakumar on 30th June 2012 07:46 PM [Full View]
Need not be. Just count the number of Ajith fans here in hub who like Simbu as well. Percentage wouldn't even cross 2%. Same mix you will get for dhanush. Infact, namma mandra thalaivar Sourav is an ardent Dhanush fan Originally Posted by kid-glove

If Selva is the only saving grace, what is AaduKaLam and Pollaathavan?!? And would you agree there was atelast some performance in Pollathavan?!? I disliked even his UthamaPuthiran and Maappillai, seedan etc speak disaster for themself! I don't even remember the name of that hari film and I dont count that 3 movie too. But he shows promise. He has took (atleast little) risks. He can be easily called "Muyarchi Nadigar" like surya. Simbu is nowhere! Neither mass nor class.
Enna thaan, Annan director, Superstar Marumagan(which looks fading these days, i mean the support), a guy doing films like Maappillai proves that there nobody to stop him if he does duds like that. So his fate is mostly in his hands, like Simbu and there, Danush does much much well than Simbu. In fact, Simbu is not comparable at all to him!
I am not even thinking about personal character etc. Think pannaa thaanee, pudikkum(like) pudikkalai(hatred) ellaam varum?!?

Sakala, I think you didn't get what I was referring to. Just like how Selva repeatedly pushed him till he got Aadukalam, Pollathavan directors, Simbu too would get it just like he got VTV and Vaanam. You seem to be conveniently forgetting bad movies of Dhanush while remembering good ones. For Simbu you are doing the reverse. You have every right to do that. But regular people can still like the good films from both of them rather than favoring one.

I think its you who isn't getting my point! Pollaathavan, AadukaLam set varaikkum vanthu, Selva Danush ai push pannaarunne vechikkunga, But performance nnu onnu irukkulla! I won't buy ur arguement that he gained acting skills only from Selva. FYI both Pollaathavan and AadukaLam are NOT loosu characters like Kadhal Konden or 3 Movie.
And very imp, nowadays in industry, to survive as a hero or heroine, u need support, constantly. Be it Surya/Karthi or Danush/Simbu or Vikram ofr any of the current gen. Before and all, support was needed just to enter and after that its mostly his own talent/stuff. But nowadays, both Hero and Heroine road is full-traffic and everybody is having someone to support, be it simbu or danush. The question, is what best you did and are capable to do, wit that support. how best to make use of it.
Vaanam afterall is a remake and VTV i am not greatly convinced by anything simbu did there. I don't think even the general public credited simbu there, Mostly it was for the Overall movie and Music.
Danush has shown performance, got some awards for that(skip that NA) and is able to pull right stories and directors. Surely that looks bright both in present and future. But simbu neither showed any consistent performance or BO/Mass nor shows any such in future. Its rumoured that he is doing Manmathan-2 with half dozen top heroines. Isn't that enuf to guess what crap he's gonna pull there? I mean, do some crap, and put self-praise music, walk slow, elecric guitar, Kodumai daa saami. And Manmathan itself is not any great thing to feel proud of. but appan and mavan were shouting for a year that it is a biLaakku bastaru
If tomorrow Simbu does different, unique stuff ppl r surely gonna support it. But there are neither signs of it nor there was.
-
From: sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar on 30th June 2012 08:40 PM [Full View]
And Simbu thinks that if he doesn't do his regular Punch dialog/Mass hero crap stuff like finger tricks, and comes on screen as a good samaritan, etc, he (himself ) thinks that he is giving a classy ferfaamans, there Appadi ellaam senjaa, its just that, thambi nadippu kidippu ethuvum pannalai, summaa vanthuttu pOnaaru thassaal
And one more thing. Even if u r me won;t consider, general public some how considers personal character, fublic behavioir too as an yardstick to keep how popular an actor. On that regard, Simbu's punch dialog, mass crap, his dad etc, just add extra irritation, apart from he being a gaali perungaaua dabbaa!
Only saving thing is his 'Excercise'! Ok, don't hit back, there i said its saving

Selvaragavan has given meaty roles to Ravikrishna, Sonia agarwal etc. Dhanush is a real talent and he came off..oru sila moonji thaan raja annamalaipuram poa mudiyum.. Originally Posted by selvakumar

Arya plays within his limits and has delivered well in Madharasapattinam, BeB apart from Bala's naan kadavul. And even before that in pattiyal and Arindhum Ariyamalum
Compared to these guys , Simbu has one VTV which by no means challenging as the roles performed by Jeeva/Arya - let alone Dhanush who has half a dozen meaty performances. Simbu can grow - ofcourse. He was not embaassing in VTV and vaanam as he usually was in other movies. But he hasnt proved anything yet. Thats the point. You tell two decent roles and pit him againt a guy who has proved his ability beyond doubt.
Regarding hate towards his movies - Its completely that guys performances that has garnered such an overwhelming hate.

Dhanush is the best actor around, no 2 ways abt it......he is slowly moving towards overaction and consquently into all time greats list.......but i have to admit that im from old school of "heroes" concept - i expect some charisma from a person who is introduced as "hero" in a movie......someone like MGR, Ajith, Kamal, rajini, Sivaji, Amitabh fit my bull as hero........sorry i dont find it in Dhanush and its not abt looks only.........his movies as "hero" where hansika motwani, shreya, tamanna and genelia falling for his charisma come out as crude jokes, seriously...........
though simbhu cannot match Dhanush's peak in acting - he can drop his shoulders, put his brain back in head and do decent roles to become a very good "hero" and a decent actor over the years......he is not as charismatic as MGR or Amitabh but can still hold a movie on his own........

But, Maddy, not too long ago the opposite was being said! That Simbu is the talented one (he can handle singing, dancing etc.) and Dhanush has just hit the right buttons with his choices of films and so on. I'm not saying you said it (I obviously don't know) but I'm sure most people here must have heard this more than once. But such a charge doesn't sound even minimally legitimate anymore. And now there are other things being said. Originally Posted by MADDY
Firstly, what's the common ground (in terms of their films) for Dhanush and Simbu to even warrant a comparison between the two? Personally, of course, I think it's a travesty to pit Dhanush against someone like Simbu. One needn't believe that Simbu can't just act or anything to that effect to say this. He did reasonably well in VTV (and I assume in vAnam; I've seen the Telugu original with Allu Arjun and I found the same moment that everyone keeps mentioning very moving). But there's just a world of difference between the way Dhanush approaches his films and Simbu his.
Dhanush's career has not been just about picking serious films. He's damn good in those films. (IMO, mAnE thEnE.) This is reason enough not to club him with actors like Simbu, but that's not all. He has also constructed a screen persona for himself that the larger audience (beyond Eka-star-viratha fan clubs) has embraced. People keep talking about his ordinary boy-next-door looks in this respect i.e. attracting the audience. But Dhanush has accounted for it in the persona he's constructed, and people have showed up. Simbu on the other hand comes off as remarkably clueless in this regard. He wants to be this big star, and I'm sure he has fans, but simply not to the extent his films seem to assume. The only two films that people 'dare' (don't mean it in an affronting sense, manasu vandhu-ngRa mAdhiri solREn!) to mention are precisely the two films in which Simbu is stripped off his regular screen persona. So what clicked so well is just the 'absence' (looking at it in this angle, PR hit the nail on the head!) of his persona! Many of his other films are horrendous because of him.

AhA! idhaip pAkkuRadhukku munnAdiyE ezhudhi post paNNittEn. Let me clarify this upfront to preempt possible snide remarks (length of the post, check). My post was just in response to the point in your previous post, Maddy, and the general drift in some of the subsequent posts that Simbu is not all that bad and can do well. Interested in the what, not at all in the who. Originally Posted by MADDY

Before watching, I read somewhere that Simbu had shed is mass hero image and played a normal man in Vaanam. Konjam expectationsoda paathen. Very first scene - Simbu, on top of a lamp post says something like Evvalavu mela yeri vandhaalum vida maattaangale Originally Posted by Balaji.r

As Sagala & Honest said earlier, in Vaanam and VTV, Simbu just avoided his usual mannerisms and did what was required for these characters. That doesnt mean he gave a knock-out performance. IMO, Dhanush isnt aaha-oho but has a certain edge over STR. Both look like fish out of water in movies where they are out of their comfort zones. For instance, he looked pathetic, dancing in foreign locales with Genelia in Uththama Puthiran. Simbhu would have been better here. Happened to watch a song from Venghai, in which Tamanna describes Dhanush as Vaanathilirundhu Minnal Irangi Vandhu Tharayil Nadappadhu Pol" EKDI And if you see the original Seedan, 'Nandanam' you would know how bad he looked, even when compared with 'Goa-6-pack' Arvind who played the same role in Nandanam.
Rendu pethukkum comfort zone'ndradhu romba kurugiya vattam dhaan. Adhil Dhanush better enbadhu IMO.

I also strongly dislike these films (not because they fall for him, but whatever). They're just so badly made. This is where I think a conventional 'looker' hero like Surya has it so much better than Dhanush. Even his proper commercial outings have a bigger canvas is far better mounted than these 'poor' settings/scenarios lesser filmmakers mount for Dhanush. Originally Posted by MADDY

Agree to some extent about the 'charisma' part but my opinion about Simbu is, he's got real talent but he is not utilising it properly. His over enthusiasm, future super star dream are the impediments but I have hopes that he will gradually get there. Unlike Danush he can fit into any role. He was good in Manmadhan, good in parts in Vallavan too. Thotti Jeya, Vaanam and VTV were all very good. I heard his next project is with Vetrimaaran and that says a lot. And I dont agree that Simbu cannot match Danush's peak in acting. I am confident he can, he can even do better provided he changes his attitude and approach. Originally Posted by MADDY
In case of Danush, I have already posted here in the hub that he made me eat my words with his performance in AadukaLam. But in his overall career, if one discounts his 'psycho' acting, there's only a little we can talk of.

Simbhu - Could do a lot better. Certainly not a waste. Showed enough maturity in films like Thotti Jaya, VTV, Vaanam and heck even in Manmadhan.
Dhanush - Achieved a lot already. Has set up enviable targets and knocked em off quite easily. In case of Dhanush one has to consider how much his brother/family might have helped him in his initial stages of becoming an actor. Simbhu lacks big time in that aspect here. Infact Simbhu is at a total disadvantage here.

And, he is only as worthy as Jithan Ramesh with whom he casts himself to.. again deceive us to pose himself the better actor.

Dhanush has great talent in acting. But watching him in a main hero role (that too eccentric psyco sort of)is a pain for me. He does not have a basic frame on stage. How do we enjoy such solaikkollai pommai continuously for the whole movie? To me, he is a character artist. Fighting against a mass of big body frames, dancing with triple time more weight of gal - he sets a bad example to the industry. At the same time, I don't compare Simbu with Dhanush thambi. Simbu is just 1 film(VTV) old in acting school. Let him grow with good opportunities.

From my observation, people dislike Simbu for his over the top offscreen/onscreen comments and digs at others while not watching his own back. I read Dhanush's statement back in 2006 in the same way. Needless to say, Ajith or Vijay would have hardly cared about him when he was delivering dreams or for that matter other bad films [from him even now]. Speak about hypocrisy, it is pretty much there in our ecosystem, our people's mind and summava sonnaaga.. 'man is a social animalnnu'.

I have started believing in what I observed more these days- From the beginning it has been clearly told on why people dislike Simbu.
Right from kuthu to Osthi he proves to be a successor of his legendary dad. Empty vessels. When an empty vessel makes so much noise (on screen , on screen), it will BE called as an emtpy vessel and made fun off!
Dhanush's comments on Vijay/Ajith - well that guy is a better actor than both of them and he is not trying to woo the bigger actor fans like Simbu and trying to get mileage out of that.
Even now, almost all of the people who support Simbu are Ajith fans

You are wrong Vikki. In one of his latest films, he did praise Ajith in a scene. So, your *assumption* that he is not trying woo other actors' fan is not valid now. Originally Posted by Saai

I said I don't see any difference between Dhanush's statement and anything that Simbu would have said.
Having said that, I wouldn't hate any young actor or his fans. Infact, I would welcome them since I don't want to create a different rouge impression of Ajith fans. I don't want to join the fans of previous generations who are constantly bullying young actors without watching their own back That's it Vikki.
For that 2006 matter, I didn't like Dhanush but got over it quickly. Tiruvilayaadal aarambal released well after that. I liked it. If I like the film, I like it. illena illa.. Same goes to Simbu's films. I don't blindly hate it and if someone says they were doing the same thing for Simbu film, the posts in this thread and other places don't add up to that. If I am defending Simbu, I should be appreciating Osthi just like other who post great reviews for dhanush's mediocre films.
And Sourav, RAghavendra are ajith fans as well.

He has improved a lot and i don't condider him as bad actor now .. Same way , Ajith , in my books once a bad actor , now has improved to good actor , but not great yet .. I don't find any huge gap between Ajith and Vijay , as it is potrayed generally by so-called well informed fans , especially in the net world .
Regarding your admiration and love toeards Ajith , I fully understand and respect .I know you admire him onscreen and offscreen ..Many i know have a admiration for Ajith more for his offscreen personality ..During any discussion on Ajith , the discussion is more on his offscreen qualities than his on screen acting ..I also admire him as a person ,but when i rate an actor i won't add or substract any points for their offscreen activities ..I have interacted with many Ajith fans and when i ask why they are Ajith fans , most of them talk about How good person he is , He used to do Briyani for everybody in unit , He took care of all , very humble person etc more than how they impressed with his on screen performance .. I respect their opinion and the reason why they became Ajith fan ,but my way of rating actors are different from them .. My liking on NT , MT , Kamal , Rajini also nothing to do with how good the person .
Regarding your question on comments on old actor and the reaction , I know your opinion on NT and you know my opinion on Ajith and we agree to disagree .. Though I may argue with you on your comments on NT , I hope i have never denied your RIGHTS to comment . If you included me with general NT fans , I have differences with NT fans in many issues (Refer recent discussion in NT thread).
Just want to remind you , whenever MGR was termed as bad actor , I had been one of few to defend MGR .. Generally , I will not agree with any extreme opinions .. irrespective of my favouritism .

Very well said, Joe Anna. You can count me as one of those guys who started admiring Ajith for his offscreen persona. His acting will certainly fall in the 'Good' category if not great as you said.
Vijay, on the other hand, erred in the selection of films in the recent past. His potential hasn't been showcased in the string of mass masalas he did post Thirumalai. Exceptions like Sachin,Kavalan and Nanban were there. But still I feel that he has not been properly utilised. I guess all fellow Vijay fans share the same thoughts.

Joe, regarding Ajith, 100% agree with you. He is not even trying something which we can call as an attempt. Ore tonela pesurathu is not anymore enjoyable or interesting. OTOH, the current gens going towards ajith just for his offscreen persona shows how bad the taste of general audience fans is. Sentiment plays a stupid big role in Politics, Films, Public life etc..
Regarding Vijay, we can say like this. He is being mocked actually for different reasons, his over the top actions, which i guess he has not stopped even now, and we can see those, and also the mocking it generates, in future too. But we have to agree that in this amarkkaLams of making fun/pun of his Mass Hero antics, we(most of us) fail to notice or even if noticed, don't want to agree the performer in him.
Recently I posted how natural he performed as a village rural guy, in one scene in Velayutham. In beginning, his rural role was unnatural and pathetic. As I keep saying, one full length comedy is ong due from him and IMHO he is the ONLY one capable to pull it, among the current crop actors.
Screen presence nnu sonnaaingaLe, that surely is onyl with Vijay! Sadly, he is taking a different route with Yohan, Thuppaakki. Romba serious aa irunthuda kudaathu. Handful of comedy scenes shud be there. Lets see

Of course, this is how I understand his comment. Joe aNNan shall of course correct me if I'm wrong

illai, joe, my point is, you can't be blamed for using "not that great" (btw, I wrote my post before reading Siv.S's latest post) instead of "not good" or something like that. It has more to do with the general restraint shown by most people when it comes to commenting on Ajith! But not on Vijay, which is in fact your point. Hope this clarifies.

Ajith is that great only for his off screen image in the net world he is talking about (blog/FB/),he never been praised as a great actor in the same net world except Mankatha to some extend for Billa/Varalaaru.

most of the Ajith fans are his fans for the past 10 yrs or so...all these people u say who became his fans due to his offscreen image are the neutrals or Ajith haters who have started liking him and because of movies like billa and mankaatha...
Ajith still had a huge fan base and the "king of openings" tag(due to his fans) in 2003,2004 where his off screen image was bad because of the "superstar narkali" incidents and few more...the only difference between now and then is now he has lesser haters and more fans from the neutrals...nanga ellam apdiyedhan irukkom...we all are fans of his long before we knew what his offscreen image was

Joe,
Fair enough! Hope you are referring to Ajith fans and how they *rate their favorite* in your post and not about others. Are you saying even the non-Ajith fans rate Ajith for his off-screen character and try to rate him high in acting for that?
I don't think so. May be I am wrong? I haven't seen any evidence for that in the online world. I don't think non-Ajith fans will praise a bad film from Ajith much like how a fanboy would do. But if you feel people generally find Ajith as good compared to others, then it is not a problem . Only thing you don't agree with them. illiya? :P
Same logic - Shouldn't we feel the same on dhanush for that matter and find himself overrated compared to Simbu who is as talented as him? "I feel Simbu is not that bad and Dhanush is not that great either" I am saying the samething in this thread and I don't know why people have a problem with that. They agree for other actors while they forget it for someone they hate blindly
