Agni Natchthiram'la I like Karthik more than Prabhu yeah agni nacthathirathula sema mass ah iruparu karthik ... i always feel ponnumani is the movie which made karthik to move to village subjects and he started loosing his carrier ... Prior to Ponnumani, "Kizhaku Vaasal" released in late 80's was also a village based movie that was superhit. The same combo of Karhtik/R.V. UdhayaKumar came up with "Ponnumani" which didn't do a great business. IMHO, his decline in career is due to lack of discipline and other self-imposed problems he ran into.

If "Mike" Mohan was at his peak (courtesy IR

) during the early through mid-80's, then Karthik was at his peak during the mid through late 80's (thanks to his good/smart looks and lot's of ladies fan following). Among "Mike" Mohan, Karthik & Prabhu - I rate Karthik as a better actor. If he had showed discipline and passion twards his work, he could have had an extended run at the TFI!

Also, on a side note, his dialaak delivery started looking weird from the 90's. Edho oru madhiri "kozha kozhanu" kozhaivaaru...

"Ullathai Alitha" was the height of his weird dilaak delivery...
