Right from the silent era, black & white, colour, 70mm, cinemascope etc., tamil films has come a loooong way. How many greats we have here…great stories, great dialogues, great films, directors, actors, actresses, comedians….you name it and we have it here. We should really be proud of this medium which has been a part of our lives.

Now, in this thread let’s discuss about the Most Lovable and Favourite characters on screen that has made a great impact on us. Was there a similar thread here, before ?? Sorry, I don’t remember.

It could be anybody – a new comer, the protagonist, antagonist, comedian and even a person who did a cameo. Adhukkaga Rama Narayanan sir padathula varra yana, Poona, naai, paambu pondra uyirinagala ellam sollapadadhu. Also, in some of the films they used to say that a phone is a character, a letter is a character, a building is a character, train is a character etc., andha madhiri motifs or “ akrinai “ ellam chelladhu chelladhu !!

And my suggestion would be that let’s not discuss too much about the legends or popular stars in this thread as we have separate threads for them – it’s only a suggestion but the real intnetion is to have fun & to share our thoughts & experience.

Let me start with Manohar, the carefree, nonchalant and charming young man who stole Divya’s heart and met an untimely & early end. It’s only for about 20-25 minutes that he comes on screen but, My God !! what an impact he had made. And, obviously this film made Karthik an over-night star. Almost every young girl, particularly College girls went berserk whenever they saw him on screen. Apart from having unanimous support from the girls, this character has earned lots & lots of accolades from people of various walks of life as well. I’ve myself seen many times that a group of audience come only to watch this particular “ Karthik portion “ in the film and they just walk out of the theatre after Manohar dies.

Yes, Manohar is one of my favourite on-screen character.

Other’s please continue & I’ll return after a while with another character.
