Sure we know trisha, asin all look quite pretty...but how many fans here actually value them for their acting?...i have watched trisha's movies and she displays expressions of enthusiasm and bubblyness but nothing much other than that to prove me she can act well. I was skeptical over Asin till her Maja and ghajini but i still feel she needs more challenging roles. If you all want to see a actress with talent that can almost rival savithri ganesan...watch Meera Jasmine..watching her act is just a joy(she is my fave actress yeah)...I would like you all to post your views(honest pls) whether you all value your actresses through beauty or talent and also state whether cinema deserves to balance itself in terms of heroine's role in movies.

acting wise yeah meera jasmine is the best right now. After all she is a national award winner.

lookswise my fav is Sadha.

I like Jyothika nd Asin for their on screen personality.

but unfortunately all these actresses get really crap roles in tamil movies.
From: Hulkster on Tue Apr 18 9:25:17 2006.

Yeah crap roles...heroism is very vehement in kollywood...if we gave more opportunites for heroines to act...then maybe we can analyse how good they are and perhaps increase our standard.
From: kidils on Tue Apr 18 10:27:36 2006.

I mean its getting worse day by day.... especially with directors like perarasu.... gone are the days of gr8 MR female characters and KB films.... now its just pathetic.
From: manmadan on Tue Apr 18 13:19:32 2006.

Most films nower days give more challenging roles to heroines. They mostly come for a few love scenes and shaking their body for dance.
Jyothika and asin are quite good in acting and they have good looks.
Trisha chance eai illai

Its the same iwth heroine. If its a heroine oriented movie they act. Else no scope

I feel

SIMRAN
JYO
GOPIKA
SANDHYA
NAVYA NAIR

ETC are kinda okei amongst the new heroines.

ASIN ive not seen her performance(ITS TOO EARLY WITH JUST 2 MOVIES AT PERUSAL)

TRISHA......... She aint pretty .
She aint acting..... wonder why shez celebrated
From: bingleguy on Wed Apr 19 3:20:42 2006.

Revathi ... s worth mentioning here ! her roles in thamizh n hindi movies are awesome ... her movies like mouna raagam,pudhiya mugam, kizhakku vaasal, dhoop, ab tak chappan are real examples !

Nadhiya ... cool ... Panneril nanaindha pookal mella sirikka ... shes dancing just before my eyes ! her chinna thambi periya thambi, n other films i dont remember the names .. that malaiyoram veesum kaathu song movie , then ippo vandha Mahalakshmi movie ... many were hits !

From: Hulkster on Wed Apr 19 3:25:20 2006.

Part of the reason why heroines like Trisha are celebrated is because of the way we are accepting glamour.

To talk of class actresses Navya Nair, Kushboo, Suhasini were quite good in their own way...Navya Nair is malayalam film product..they are bound to be good in expressions

But if you want to talk about actress powerful in emoting, body language and dialogue delivery...it has to be Sarika...a balachander find..she was one of the actresses i remember impressed me immensely.

SP neenga sonnuthu seri thaan...Asin has not yet delivered any performance worthy of critical acclaim yet..as for trisha whether she cant act or directors dunnot know anything other than glamour to use her might be the problem.

I created this thread mainly to see how people here view actresses...and if cute and bubbly and looks play a part...we have got a long way to go...we need to start viewing our actresses talent or tamil cinema will be losing its standard for the way oru audience accept heroines.
From: Shakthiprabha. on Wed Apr 19 3:25:29 2006.

villain

revathy........ hmm yup talented (not very great looking)
nathiya....... talented enough (not very great looking)
Suhasini......... very talented (okei...looking)

very rarely LOOKS AND TALENTS match up

examples

Raadha
Shridevi
Jayaprada
Banupriya
From: Shakthiprabha. on Wed Apr 19 3:27:03 2006.

yup sarita was good.

I assume we talk only of talents and NOT LOOKS AT ALL...

then there were

sarita, revathy, suhasini, nathiya, etc
Sarita was really good. Her movies were unique too

From: Hulkster on Wed Apr 19 3:32:30 2006.

Yeah....we need a director to give Trisha a role that she can really show her talents...i thought maniratnam will but he too fell to the glamour factor....i dunt remb Trisha that much in ayuthu eluthu....Shalini(ajith's wife) was also quite good though not really that good compared to the likes of saritha...Sandhya has quite alot of potential too.

Another severely underrated actress is Gopika...she is one actress whose dialogues and expressions match together perfectly...give her more chances and i believe she may oust Meera Jasmine from the top spot

Nadhiya was quite good but she was sort of like a good acting version of trisha...bubbliness coupled with body language.

Another forgotten actress is Amala...she did not really do powerful acting roles but she was consistent in her performance...something like How asin is now.

From: Hulkster on Wed Apr 19 3:44:54 2006.

Simran was quite powerful but still nowhere close to the Sridevi..Saritha Range.

As for Simran she did well in glamour roles...but she particularly excelled in soft hearted roles like in priyamanavalae where she could extract her emotions easily....she did abit well in comedy..but that was where she had her stronghold.
From: Shakthiprabha. on Wed Apr 19 3:52:15 2006.

hulk is right when he says simran cant be compared to sarita or shridevi.

Those days ppl like sarita or others HAD OPPORTUNITIES to act in heroine oriented movies. Their roles were important.

Nowadays we talk women and men are equal and yet WE FIND ALL WOMEN ACTING AS SHOWPIECE IN GLAMOUR only.

Like sarita

we cant forgoet

shobha (pasi fame, she won national award)
shobana (actress cum dancer)
Shripriya
Radhika
Lakshmi

etc were ABS WONDERFUL as actresses.

I also feel

ARCHANA ('veedu' balumahendra movie)
NANDITA das

ETC are good

Simran has a versatility!
she can be -bubbly or homely or glamorous!
delivered a stunning perfomance in Vaali and Kannathil Muthamittal!
I feel she is a replica of Sridevi!
From: Shakthiprabha. on Wed Apr 19 4:02:05 2006.

replica of shridevi

thats stretching a lot. The variety shridevi did, SIMRAN has not. SIMRAN MAY NOT TOO.
From: Hulkster on Wed Apr 19 5:27:01 2006.

Yeah replica of Sridevi is too much...Sridevi was more versatile and powerful than Simran..just see Moondram Pirai and see if any other actress can act like a 6 mths old baby like she did........Nandita Dass is what you call a versatile performer...she is more offbeat type though...i liked her performance in azhagi and kannathil muthamitaal(particularly when she expresses the emotions of a mother about to leave her child)

From: Thirumaran on Wed Apr 19 10:34:15 2006.

This is quite strange.

Simran replica of Sridevi..
Which is like saying..
Some new actor replica of Kamal..

There are lots of great performed movies of Sridevi.

Classics are
Moondram Pirai -- Mentally affcted, Many actresses dream role..
16 Vayathinilae -- Remembered as Mayilu still now, not as sridevi..
Sigappu Rojakkal -- Soft and Frightened role..
Johny.. -- As a lonely Singer
Priya.. -- As an actress itself, who got caught in a dilemma.
Neela Malargal - as a blind girl
Dharma Yudham...
Guru -- A mischievious girl
Vaazhvae Maayam -- Love, emotions, disappointments, humour, etc ...in a single role..
Meendum Gokila -- A brahmin lady..
and many more..

Of course there is not much varieties as normally heroines of TN after 1970's
did not have much varied roles. However in here period they had lots of scope for
emotions, humour, michiefs,etc..
And Sridevi performed extremely well in the roles she has taken..

Comparatively Simran have only few to mention..

I am leaving out the Hindi and Telugu movies of Her as i have not seen many of them.

By saying this you can�t verify or transform anything. Simran has done variety of roles, but we tend to pay tribute to the past than the present (That�s a human nature) so it�s not surprise to read what you say. Not degrading Sridevi, who was good; please have a close look at Simran�s roles that she played.

What do you mean by 'inspite of me being a Simran fan'? I�m a fan of Sridevi but I�ll admit Simran is better. This really hurts when we say a present star is superior to past generation star but truth has to be accepted.

This is a devious demand (to me), right. How would you feel if a kid ask you the question you asked (In it�s own way which is, if you have no clue of present stars, please do not assume things) ? I�m not a kid, I�ve watched Sridevi�s movies a lot.

From: ssanjinika on Wed Apr 19 17:38:55 2006.

wizard just like you asked for various roles performed by sridevi can you post the various roles performed by simran?
From: Hulkster on Wed Apr 19 20:17:24 2006.

Wizard the roles simran has played can be separated into three eras.

(96 - 99) The glamour with a bit of performance era...at this stage simran was abit like Trisha..she was leading with her looks and exuberance although Once More displayed her in a negative cum positive role which was brilliant

(99 - 02)
Simran dropped glamour and went for performance oriented roles. However the roles were not really varied and mostly focus on family oriented/soft hearted roles where she had to express her emotions of anger and sadness(eg Priyamanavalae, Thullatha Manamum Thullum,Kannathil Muthamitaal)

(02-Present)
Simran still continued her style of emotions oriented roles but she did a brillaint movie called kovilpatti veeralakhsmi....although the movie was heroine oriented and she gave her best performance of her life in that movie, certain emotions towards the climax were not readily expressed as how sridevi would have.
From: Hulkster on Wed Apr 19 20:28:32 2006.

As for Sridevi's versatility..let me give you a brief walkthrough

Sridevi already walked away with all honours with her ability to show a girl's emotions being cheated by her lover and at the same time expressing a mix of hatred and sympathy towards chappandi in pathinaaru vayathinilae.
She later did a mix of a girl expressing feelings of love without success or playing a commercial girl role(glamour with love although her movies like sigappu rojakkal made her act like a victimised girl)...then came moondram pirai which announced her arrival as a versatile actress

The way she portrayed herself as a patient who though she was six years old was just exhillarating. This was where bollywood starting taking notice of sridevi and she became more wanted there.

Movies like jhonny also brought her prominence with her portrayal of a singer who ligners for love and lost between hatred and love,Vaazhvae Mayam was not noticed as well as the other two movies due to kamalhassan dominating the screen but one should not forget the scene where sridevi has doubts about kamal's activities and easily flows into the role like she really doubts him.

Not only this, alot of actresses started imitating sridevi after she more or less witched to bollywood...suganya was one of them who imitated Sridevis style. And remember this...she was the bollywood no 1 heroine for almost 2 decades.

From: imsai on Wed Apr 19 21:02:52 2006.

Thank you, bay area.

This all depend on how we perceive but we can't envisage how Sridevi would've performed, could have been horrible (who knows). Remember, we are in an era of not so good directors (At the present time stars aren't given good roles or proper instruction on how to perform, not all of the directors though. ) so please forget the �how good she would been in that role.� Sorry to remind you this, we are at variance on the topic of �variety� so we should forget how good Simran or Sridevi was. If excellence matters more, I don�t find a performance from Sridevi that can match the performance of Simran in Kannathil Muthamittal. We are on the topic of variety, I still stand for Simran. Sorry if there was any offense which maybe invisible to me.

From: Hulkster on Wed Apr 19 21:07:18 2006.

Maybe because your inclined to Simran abit...it is hard for you to accept Sridevi...so i shall leave it at here...but i do recognise the talentes of both actresses and tamil cinema is gifted to have them both...but if you want to really know why sridevi is better...just watch her movies when they post on tvs....

Nice discussion though
From: imsai on Wed Apr 19 21:11:36 2006.

I own lots of her dvds and watched them again and again. I would�ve not said a word if I haven�t watched her films.
From: Hulkster on Wed Apr 19 21:18:13 2006.

Its hard to accept a heroine because of your strong inclinations for Simran...By looking at Sridevi's movies...you would look whether her performance is out of the world to see if she is better then simran and you will also look for any performance that is not worthy too.

Maybe if you were more of a neutral you can see the difference clearly.

Im a Meera Jasmine fan btw and im sure if Sridevi had done jasmine's roles...maybe she too would have been quite good.
From: Hulkster on Wed Apr 19 21:20:06 2006.

Kannathil Muthamitaal..although simrans performance was brilliant...is a role in which saritha has excelled time and time again...playing the role of a mother unsure of how to convince her child she loves her and although Sridevi has not done such roles....she has showed in her movies her capability that she can do such roles too.

Its hard to accept a heroine because of your strong inclinations for Simran

Why do you say that? I think it�s not right if I say to you, �your inclination toward for Sridevi masks your vision to see Simran�

You are also saying �If you were more neutral,�.. I don�t understand why you say this. Is it because we are not agreeing with each others? How do you know that you are neutral? Please don�t attempt to be authoritative. It�s your and my opinion, that�s all.

It's good my 'replica' comment stimulated a decent discussion.
Thanks to Hulk and Wizard!

Quality of Sridevi's performance in Moonram pirai is debatable. some feel that she has overdone...not close to reality (natural)!
In addition her role in Pahalil oru iravu and Guru, even in Priya as glamour doll is contreversial!
No doubt, she is cute , bubbly and good actress....Is she the best?
I'm sure Simran can do well as her, if given a chance!

By saying this you can’t verify or transform anything. Simran has done variety of roles, but we tend to pay tribute to the past than the present (That’s a human nature) so it’s not surprise to read what you say. Not degrading Sridevi, who was good; please have a close look at Simran’s roles that she played.

Of course. We give respect to the past. That does not mean that when we say opinion, we always biased towards past. However i am not the one from past generation. I am quite younger than some the current stars including Ajith, Vijay and Simran.
Eg. I like both Shivaji and Kamal. But my marks are towards Kamal Only.
I am the one who always want younger generation to surpass the talents and achiements of Past generation, otherwise in my opinion we are not improving.

I have watched many movies of Simran as well as Simran closely. Whatever roles she did, she did a decent job. No doubts.
But saying that she is a replica of Sridevi is too much without any doubt. As u said people are entitled to their own opinion. Still when we make opinion it is better to be careful, as
several who would not have watched much from old movies may start believing their opinions.

Nallatha pochi.....Meera Jasmine is really one of a kind actress ever since Savithri Ganesan...her roles are done with aplomb and grace...if she went to bollywood...i can safely say urmila and company will have to run out.

I especially love movies with Lakshmi even if it's a very small part I still love it...i still remember that movie where she becomes a nun in the ending and how her rapist till the end is an unfeeling monster...her daughter on the other hand ugh if it wasn't for the song "oh butterfly" no one would care for that mess of aishwarya and vikram...

Suhashini I love for her portrayal in sindhu bhiravi, she is the second women but not trampy at all (everyone always jumps easily to that conclusion) I remember crying during the "naan oru sindhu" and "kannin manniye" in the end of "manathil uruthi vaendum"....whew...and i definitly not the weepy mess type

Ratha is nice in kadhal oviyam, alaigal oyivathillai, but Ambika...I don't think I have ever believed her acting...even when crying...it's alright stop over reacting!

Saritha I love in this one movie with Siva kumar it's so sweet...

Revathi and Sridevi i haven't found role in which I don't like their performance....

Radhika is also really good actress...even as a mother figure she's really sweet

but there's one actress that has gone unnoticed here:
Manorama! She can do emotional and comic roles equally well!

nowadays I agree with Sandhya and Meera Jasmine being good actresses...Simran seemed to change every character of hers into not someone in the movie but another part of her as the actress....it's not like she changed her personality rather she just shifted according to script...am i making any sense here? I have to admit Jyothika's acting has grown on me, i didn't take her seriously but i think she's makes an effort atleast.

SP I'm surprised how cut-throat you are in deeming who is attractive and who is not...looks do count but it's disconcerting to think that one's talent does not surpass superficial beauty standards
From: Hulkster on Mon Apr 24 1:03:01 2006.

I guess SP akka was just casual about the looks...she did bothered about the acting talent iin other posts.

Yes lakhsmis acting is quite good..i believe she was good in a movie where she will be given a lift by a mysterious stranger and something will happen to her in which her life goes downhill...that role was brilliant

Sujatha was also a capable actress in any role she played.

Radhika was brilliant in her debut movie...and played stereotype roles in others with certain performance-oriented roles in some of them...her acting as a mother caught between husband and brother was exceptional in kizhakku cheemaiyilae.

Manorama is known as a versatile giant...i for once appreciate her emotional acting in the latter part of acting career which was done to perfection.

I'm a big fan of Meera Jasmine's acting.

y dont u begin a thread.

From: Hulkster on Mon Apr 24 1:29:06 2006.

Same here....nah not interested..it will only add to the innumerable threads for actresses...you can use this thread to post news on her if you want.
From: kidils on Mon Apr 24 1:37:42 2006.

Don't u think Meera deserves a thread.

Meera was simply terrific in Kasthuriman.

I would say she was lucky to get such a script though.
From: Hulkster on Mon Apr 24 1:42:51 2006.

Well she will get such scripts after winning the national award.....i will probably create a thread once i have received favourable response for her.
From: kidils on Mon Apr 24 1:49:31 2006.

The malayalam version of movie came out before her national award movie I think.

She got it because the scriptwriter/director of the movie was her godfather who brought her to the industry But she did an excellent job with it.

Yes...lohitha dass is regarded as her mentor
From: hi on Mon Apr 24 1:56:51 2006.

Savithiri.. Padmini ... banumathy -

radhika ( gud actress)

radha.. revathy.. (decent performers)

banupriya ( esp for her dancing skills)
From: Hulkster on Mon Apr 24 2:00:57 2006.

Bhanupriya is another underrated actress...she was quite good in the late 80s movies where she used to get roles of emotional type.
