Plum, intha dignity antha actresses-ka, illa avingga play pannura characters-ka?

Groucho,
I had made that comment originally (elsewhere) and that was in the context of the characters they played. My complaint was about the utter frivolity that surrounds and overarches the archetypal persona of female leads in most Tamil films. One has to understand 'dignified' in the larger sense here (the manner in which they carry themselves off with self-respect, the extent to which there is a kind personality to the character, etc.), not just as a matter of whether they are fine with skin-show or not.

Plum,
The crux of the third comment quoted here is actually somewhat orthogonal to the point of discussion. I was talking more about how actresses constantly get slotted, and way more narrowly than actors, and so on and so forth.

Currently I'm a bit busy with work, so can't actively participate in any impending discussion. thaviravum perusA sollavum edhuvum illai 'nnu ninaikkiREn.
