UTHAMA PUTHIRAN
In the film "Uthamaputhiran"(1958), he played a dual role. One of the roles
had a negative shade and the style that he played in it was incredible.
One famous dance scene which is memorable in this film and still no actor
had never beaten his style. Sivaji was more concerned with the dance master
Hera Lal for the credit.
PASAMALAR
I was thoroughly weeping when I was
10 years old, as I saw the PASAMALAR climax scene. Not just me, most of the
audience at the theatre was weeping because of the touching dialogues and acting
of Sivaji and Savithiri. The film was
released during 1961.
BALE PANDHYA
This film was a tamil
comedy film directed by B.R.Pandulu. The
film stars were Sivaji, M.R.Radha, Devika and Balaji in lead roles. It released in 1962 and Sivaji played three characters and his co-star M.R.Radha played dual roles. Viswanathan & Ramamoorthy are the music
directors. The film was completed in 11 days, which a world record for a film to complete in such a short span and it was shot in
three different locations. This film was a milestone film in comedy.
THILLANA MOHANAMBAL
Thillaanaa Mohanambal was a 1968
Tamil-language film directed by A. P. Nagarajan starring Sivaji Ganesan and
Padmini in the lead roles. The film was based on the novel written by
Kothamangalam Subbu which had published in a popular Tamil Magazine 'Ananda
Vikatan' as weekly episodes. Sivaji Ganesan acted as a devoted Nadeswaram
player. He met Padmini, who was equally a devoted Bharatha natiyam dancer and they
both fell in love with each other. After a series of U turns, they will be united.
This was a film of a dance and music. Both the legends were engulfing each other
with their acting skills.
VIETNAM VEEDU
Another
heartfelt movie at that age was Vietnam veedu, which was a film directed by
Sudaram, a famous dramatist. The Vietnam
veedu drama staged many times and because of the overwhelming audience support
later it was made in to a movie. In this, Sivaji and Padmini, who was another giant
actress of Tamil film industry acted and touched the hearts of the millions. This is the story of a upper middle class
family.
MUDAL
MARIYATHAI
In Mudal Mariyathai
the film directed by Bharathiraja in 1985 was with a different theme. The theme was critical. In that film, Sivaji's age was more than fifty, already married,
lived with his wife, fell in love with the girl who was in her thirties. In the
entire film he never touched heroine. The scenic beauty of the film and the
background music by Illayaraja paved the film a grant success.
Donning
versatile roles
Sivaji appeared more than 300 films,
in most of the films he played the multiple roles, family roles, commercial
roles, and the Lord Shiva role. The portrayal of Lord shiva in the movie
Thiruvilayaadal won him a lot of honour in and around the film industry. In the
movie Navarathiri (1964), Sivaji donned nine different roles with Savithiri,
that represented the nine emotional states of a person.
Veerapandia Kattabomman
No one can deny deliberately mentioning Sivaji, without mentioning Veerapandia Kattabomman, or Kattabomman without mentioning Sivaji. The dialogue delivered in the film by Sivaji was is once a national dialogue of Tamilnadu and without delivering the dialogues, no one become an actor or no drama would end without the dialogue of Sivaji Ganesan.
