I thought I will start a poll thread but I decided against it. I wanted to scribble a bit about the different opening / introduction scenes that I liked.

Please add your list to the thread.

Rajnikanth
Annamalai - When rajni is introduced as the new big shot in the business -

Baasha - When the Baasha character is introduced -

Thevar Magan - When Kamal is re-introduced as the village chief after his father's death. The entire audience rejoiced the scene + IR's awesome BGM. It is a shame that I could not find this scene on youtube

Definitely inspired...

....I think it's inspired from my own favourite NT opening in Gouravam. I invite fellow Gouvaram fanatic, rangan_08, to talk about the scene You too, NOV.

i guess u r meaning the mannerism of Chakravarthy and Justice are similar.....if yes, then IMO, this is fine tuning

note: I have seen both the movies many time, but never thought in the angle of inspiration.

[radikal]

The opening. Not showing the protagonist, the POV camera and all.

Performance inspiration oru pakkam, both film deal with father/son (Gouvaram nephew, but like son) battle due to father's character (Arrogance/Womanising). Mattapadi, Gouvaram oru imayam, Netrikann is a classic.

Aa AaH - SJ Surya movie! He sits casually says some dialogue, once done the song continues by removing the set he was sitting in.. Felt really different and nice!
