Hi all,
We all have been using now Watsapp heavily, and this post merely is a dedication to the messages which we receive on Watsapp.
I am not meaning the numerous 'Check if your watsapp has been hacked' or 'Send it to 10 other people to receive blessings immediately'.
Those posts come with a message to send and share to other people, and the one I am going to articulate on is the one which gets shared without being instructed to. And those are called as
(cue for applause..)
Though I must admit, that that does not call for a applause, as I have not told something which was not told before or not known before. Every smartphone user now knows what it is.
For the majority of non-tamilians, Tamil Cinema starts and ends with Rajinikanth. And they keep wondering what happens now to the political scenario of the state, but that's for another post.
But for the common Tamilian, it is not just Rajinikanth, and in fact a day can easily pass without mentioning of Rajinikanth, but not this guy Vadivelu. ( cue for applause... again the same )
He has done what Rajinikanth or even Kamalhaasan cannot achieve in the state. He has achieved an immortal state, inspite of not doing movies now actively. He had a bad experience by involving in campaigning during elections, and since then he has not got movies regularly, but the state hardly misses him.
Not a single day passes without mentioning his dialogue or enacting his reaction. One can easily find a single picture of him to respond to questions, which will to the point the summarize what you want to convey.
A picture is worth a thousand words, and a Vadivelu reaction picture is worth more than that.
Its been more than 30 years, he started his film career, and he has undoubtedly changed the way common people react and speak than anybody else. May be better talented actors have come before him, or may come in the future, but he is the guy who was in the right place in the right time.
And thats the only reason inspite of his absence in movies, he is living right in everybody's phone in the form of meme's.
I had written a post long time back, dedicating to the Laurel and Hardy of tamil cinema, who in their prime days made hopeless movies turn to a blockbuster, and mind you that was not the time of Digital era. They were able to attract people into halls just with their presence in the posters, as there was no promo's nor other marketing techniques which people employ now.
He may not be as talented as others to pull of a variety of roles, but he is the best in his forte. His comedy which may have been monotonous, still holds value as a small change here and there would make it so good and hard to ignore.
And majority of people, think that Tamilians go behind Rajini's punch lines, while it may be true, the shelf life of those are short lived. In reality Tamilians go behind Vadivelu's punch comic lines and that's precisely the reason why his absence was not never noticed. He was not in the silver screen, he was in everybody's mobile screens.
And given the current political scenario, where politicians are having almost a monopoly in the Laughter challenge which they have put on the state, Vadivelu floods the internet like the Chennai floods with no mercy on every single line which our political guys speak.
There are some lines which are used heavily some in the same context, some though in a different context perfectly makes sense.
Vadivelu , probably was not notice for the first time heavily by the common public as a comedian in this movie 'Singaara Velan' where he was one among the many in the movie. Though he was like a side-kick to a side-kick, his mannerisms made sure that nobody would miss him.
And then he soon started getting more and more, and just like the previous set of comedians, Vadivelu too weaved a web which caught everybody and he was proving to be the Midas's touch for the movies to make it a blockbuster.
And that was the same time, when the mass masala flicks was picking up. And since someone had to ensure that people do not leave before the second half where the actual story begins, the whole responsibility was shouldered by the hero and the comedian. Who plays which role is upto them.
Vadivelu was simply amazing in this role, and we can quote a bunch of movies which would not have even running time of half an hour without him.
Classic example being Sundar C's Winner. Though the movie was a blockbuster, the lead actor Prashant (or was he really ?) struggled to get good movies after that. And in some sort of way, you can call this a resurrection for Vadivelu as well, as he realized his mettle after that and then there was no looking back for him.
People may forget the movie, the character names of other actors but Vadivelu's Kaipulla is etched in hearts of Tamils and can never be erased.
And there are various famous comical sequences between him and actor Parthiban, where people do not even know which movie they belong to , but know the comical lines by heart.
And there are more , even his character name can bring back laughter, forget even the lines.
His role as the Contractor Nesamani in Friends, role of inspector in Marudamalai, Naai-Sekar in Thalainagaram are other examples, Dubai return guy in Vetri Kodi Kattu, where any common Tamilian would tell the lines without a slight trace of stammer.
And the most important of the whole lot is the political satire 23rd Pulikesi , for which he played the lead actor role officially on the title card , made sure that he attained a immortal form.
And this movie single handedly gives enough content for the meme creators every day and I really hope that inspite of all the dispute and issues , the second installment of this do gets to see the light.
Vadivelu has truly been the celebrated guy in any Meme Creator's app, and a small Google of Vadivelu meme will tell you that.
Some of the below are the ones I found very funny and interesting,
And given that this one is dedicated to Vadivelu, how can one end without the epic
Long live ... Aahaan...
Bye till next,
