Ofcourse RC, infact I have seen SR many times, Alavandhan he was good in that Mottai Getup. But others were not that good. I have seen Most of kamal films .

Like I said , these are just my views that is all

When you said "I dont think Kamal can be as menancing as Raghuvaran, Rajni, Sathyaraj and Prakashraj alike, it just does not work for him.", I dont know what more you expect...
If aalavandhan's nandhu isnt menacing enough, I'm not sure what/where your expectations lie.
I forgot to add Dasavatharam's Fletcher...

raghu,

have u seen bhuvana
negative role does not NECESSARILY mean "motta boss" roles or gangster and cheapo villains. Role of avargaL in rajni was a saddistic char. Sivakumar was a selfish char. Negative neverthless. He underplayed his role and definitely convincing. May be since rajni was playing along, sivakumar couldn't shine

somehow "avargaL" is the first movie which I recollect, yeah moondru mudichu was great too. May be I believe real villains are too choclatey and sweet grinning right next to u and doing all possible jobs which motta bosses cannot do I consider such roles REALISITIC.

ennathu rude aa.... when do I ever take any movie indifferences to heart.
neekku neevu
naaku naanu

raghuvaran...hmm...yes.... baasha was good

IMHO, I dont think Kamal can be as menancing as Raghuvaran, Rajni, Sathyaraj and Prakashraj alike, it just does not work for him.

He doesn't do needless gimmicks which others do without fail. Infact only gimmicks play main role for others. He will do only things which the character/script demands. But within that scope itself he plays century! I wud like to add the micheal of MMKR too.

He doesn't do needless gimmicks which others do without

True!

1) Puriyatha Puthir - I know , I knwo I know....I know
3) Some Film, where he acts as the Elder Brother of Surya

the title says 'heroes'.... so raghuvaran is not the immediate choice for most of us. we think of rajni, kamal and the likes. raghuvaran def one of the best no doubt

You guys got to be kidding about Kamal, negative-nA odane Sigappu Rojakkal and Alavandhan. That's all eh? Here's my list:

SollathAn ninaikkiren (womaniser), Punnagai Mannan (seriously, he's an a*****e arrogant pr**, till Revathi charms him), Nizhal Nijamagiradhu (almost a stalker), Ilamai Oonjaladugirathu (girlfriend cheater), Sagar Sanggamam (bitter, missed-the-bus former dancer wannabe masquerading as cultural critic, oh, an alcoholic too), Neeya (Snake-killer, which is not a bad thing for me), NinaithAle, Inikkum (self-centred lead vocal who almost destroyed his band for the love of the girl, which is kinda like every rock band ever), Tappu TAlanggal (cameo as prostitute visiting sEtt-u), Kadal Meengal (responsible for a bastard child), Vazhvey mAyam (he made me cry, a nine year old kid, okay ), Toongathe Thambi toongathe (drug addict), Naayagan (come on, you know), Apoorva Sahotharargal (Appu is not cute little feller), MMKR (Michael, the blade in tongue thingy still gives me the creep), Hey Ram (he was trying to assasinate Ghandi, remember), VirumAndi (who's story you believe?).

And I have not seen the Malayalam and Hindi films. Who knows? Vonly Sigappu Rojakkal and Alavandhan it seems

And don't get me started on Rajini and Sathyaraj

the younger generation
one thing that got me laughing was ... seems Jaishankar acted as negative character in most films

[Lillie_Steins]

groucho - My response was to Params "menacing" comment...
You can add Kamal in Chaanakyan to your list!

[Beerinkol]

chromatic aberration, i guess

[LottiFurmann]

But to be shrewd cruel, the kind of characters you want to avoid in real life, now, that is tough.
