I have even mentioned it in my 50 Tamil movies to watch posts. Nobody can match his versatility, comedy was just part of him <br /><br />I like to some other movies for people to watch apart from what you have done<br /><br />1. Major Chandrakant<br />2. Vietnam Veedu<br />3. Navagrahangal<br />And my most favourite of all Apoorva Sagodharargal :)A lot more are there - we need a book to discuss him :)<br /><br />Wonderful tribute aunty :)Sylvianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14804292567058995031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108332737182280632.post-8730616308064129202010-12-07T07:44:20.163+05:302010-12-07T07:44:20.163+05:30thanks for an soulful post.

It is a wonderful piece of blog which pays rich tribute to the legend. Nagesh comedies were a class apart and so clean that they will be enjoyed by all generations.Could'nt agree with u more when u mention nagesh is nonpareil. <br /><br />Mam i also believe u should have enjoyed nagesh sir's performance in Major Chandrakanth as a lovable brother as i didnt find any reference to this film in ur blog.<br /><br />And it was so heartening to know that KB has honoured nagesh when he staged his latest play. We as tamil cinema fans are grateful to the combination of KB and nagesh as they have entertained us with wonderful films like ethir nichal, nirkumizhi,bama vijayam etc.Yuvarajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11705938602094361533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108332737182280632.post-43205503353854811542009-06-14T10:38:35.208+05:302009-06-14T10:38:35.208+05:30Thank you, Mohan, for visiting my blog, and leavin...Thank you, Mohan, for visiting my blog, and leaving a comment here. <br /><br />I must admit I never knew that this is how he got the name "Thai Nagesh'. Thanks for this interesting information. <br /><br /> But I believe I have correctly mentioned his first film (Thamarai kulam)and that 'Server Sundaram' was his first picture as a hero. Many reports in the media, no doubt picking up wrong info from one and passing it on, had got these facts wrong.<br /><br />Please keep visiting.RAJI MUTHUKRISHNANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09767924355822361427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108332737182280632.post-9743385828935692082009-06-14T09:58:02.110+05:302009-06-14T09:58:02.110+05:30please read as 1959please read as 1959Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535161327755111448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108332737182280632.post-84916617654904528372009-06-14T09:57:00.223+05:302009-06-14T09:57:00.223+05:30Hello,

He did a PLAY in which he played a Character called Thai ( as in thai maasam) Thandapani, a film producer ....the hindu praised his performance and since then was called Thai nagesh which became Thaai over a period of time.<br />I do agree that he was the King of Comedy ,did you know that he himself felt that his role as a Sabha Secretary in "Kalaikovil" another Sridhar film (1964) WAS HIS BEST PERFORMANCE. <br />For all his greatness he went away unsung by the Government - for he was not even given a Padma Sri.....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535161327755111448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108332737182280632.post-24305196049307665292009-04-24T14:33:00.000+05:302009-04-24T14:33:00.000+05:30Wonderful Tribute!

He was very normal and level headed. One can't even figure out that he was a great comedian who dominated Thamizh cinema for decades.<br /><br />As you rightly put, his comedies were so clean and one liners were so witty (unlike many)<br /><br />Great job madam...

You have paid a tribute that needs nothing added. But you know what comes to my mind ? Little Sankar at the Kapaleeshwara temple , gazing searchingly at the Navagraham idols and asking "Nagesh engai ?"

Shall we call Nagesh's genre 'aesthetic comedy'? I read today in a non-public blog - "This veteran was not the recipient of many big awards and titles in his heydays, probably because of being slotted as a "comedian". Perhaps, instituting a "Nagesh award for acting" may be an appropriate tribute that we can pay him."Swarnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01623334723468773313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108332737182280632.post-19753392478921076572009-02-20T19:28:00.000+05:302009-02-20T19:28:00.000+05:30Neerkumizhi and Ethirneechal were wonderful movies...Neerkumizhi and Ethirneechal were wonderful movies.
