Parasakthi
Success! That was the first dialogue that the legend uttered in this movie and it went on to describe his glorious career. Sivaji’s fine acting skills and his ability to deliver lengthy lines made him the perfect candidate to deliver former Chief Minister M Karunanidhi’s fiery dialogues in this film. The film was a fine culmination of both their skills and it blazed a trail that none could match. The court scene in which Sivaji questions societal norms and practices is a masterpiece that is worth watching any number of times. A classic clearly!

Veerapandiya Kattabomman
On mentioning Kattabomman’s name, the first image that will come to the minds of many is that of Sivaji Ganesan. Such was the Nadigar Thilagam’s portrayal of this freedom fighter, that it induced a sense of pride in many. The courage, the anger, the pride and the audacity of the warrior were all so impressively brought out by the Nadigar Thilagam that it triggered a wave of patriotism among the masses. This one is clearly in a class of its own.

Thiruvilayadal
Sivaji’s scintillating performance in this film as Lord Shiva is one that can never be forgotten. Every single story of Lord Shiva featured in this film is memorable and stands out in its own unique way. In particular, the sequence in which Nagesh, who plays a poor poet, tests Sivaji’s knowledge is one that is remarkable.
