  My respects for A GREAT WOMAN whom Ive always admired.
  
  Her sarcasm is always well known. She was an actress who never acted in timid, lifeless, dumb roles portrayign women
  
  Please read the link to understand her achievements. She was a national award winner.

  She is the only lady in India, may be even in the whole world; who is a Studio Owner, Producer, Directress, Writer, Music Director and also a great singing cine-artiste.

  
  
  Apart from that she ws A good painter, Astrologer and a great Philosopher.
  
  May her soul rest in peace.

  Her voice is commanding and magical.
  ITs FUN to watch her in
  
  ARIVAALI (shakespeare's 'taming of the shrew' where she paired with NADIGAR THILAKAM SHIVAJI GANESHAN)
  
  Malaik kaLLan was another interesting movie to watch. When a gangster tries to capture her, SHE DOES NOT SQUEAK OR LET OUT helpless cry, but rather outwits him with her CHARM AND brains.
  
  Any movie which any of u enjoyed can be quoted here in this thread.
  
  NOT TO LEAVE
  
  'AMBIKAPATHI' awesome performance by the duo shivaji and banumathi.
  
  We almost let an audible sigh when she gets up after 99 songs(due to wrong calculation) and shivaji starts singing......
  
  satre kalaintha kuzhalE.........

  thalaiyalangaaram purappatthE....

  What a talented lady. She had a very strong personality and always had a great screen presence. You don't find many actresses like her these days. May her soul rest in peace.

  She is really a great lady... Even as a patti in Chembaruthi, I like her role. She is the apt person to do that role...

  Kumar, you are absolutely right.
  
  Banumathi had a towering personality. She could have easily entered politics with her stellar oratory skills. Somehow she was not so keen.
  
  Unlike Saavithri, she had a rigorous discipline ingrained in her lifestyle till the end.

  SP, are you satirical?!
  
  (I just happened to remember some old "kisu kisu" and associated "famous quotes"!)

  pp maam
  
  I was just being honest.
  
  Actually I happened to have read bout her (10 yers back) in a famous weekly.
  
  I assume she was a nightmare to any who kinda thought shez "eazy-to-get-going". Apart from that, she was a strict disciplinarian on too many concept including punctuality, honesty and other appreciable qualities one need to posses.
  
  Dont know bout any KISU KISU. Ive always rated her SOOO high, because, I ASSUMED, inspite of her beauty and brains, she was one of the RARE species in filmdom to have escaped rumours.

  This is not the proper moment to stir "such" old stories which you are too young to have known. Let us just forget it!

  May her soul REST IN PEACE!
  I rem. how she'd once spoken in a Tamil interview many yrs ago abt the degradation of music/dance in recent films: I rem. her saying sumthing like "Indha kalath-u paatu-hul le chumma keyyi-kaalu aatara....avolo thaan........"
  Of course nowadays they move quite more than jus 'keyyi' 'kaalu'......!

  Like what nilavu said,
  
  WHAT I LIKED ABOUT HER is her awesome brave-attitude which she possesed in those days.
