Kamal Vs Rajini: Who is The Best?


Rajinikanth doesn’t wear a watch. He decides what time it is, and his calendar goes straight from March 31 to April 2—because NOBODY can fool Rajinikanth.


Ever come across lines like these? Well sure, some of them are said to be inspired by Chuck Norris jokes, but well, if you don’t like them, you’d better run when you have the chance; because Rajinikanth is watching. Mind it.


Movies, first introduced as a means of recreation, have evolved over time and have gained the power to inspire, and ignite the soul, as with any other form of art. India especially stands witness to this fact, with its actors having a cult status, and devotees who are determinedly loyal to their favorite stars.


Actors like Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan especially are privy to this kind of god-like-status with the masses; and one question that continues to plague South India is that of who is better at the trade—the iconic Kamal Haasan or idolized Rajinikanth?


1. If you played by numbers, Rajinikanth is older than Kamal, but entered the film industry later than the latter. The ‘Superstar’ of Tamil cinema made more than a whopping 150 films since 1975, while Kamal Haasan had his first performance when he was just four years old, and since 1959, he has acted in over 300 movies.

Find the Best Netflix Streaming Movies With A Better Queue



For a service that has famously worked so hard to help you find movies you might like, Netflix is actually a little weak in the recommendations department.
Suppose, for example, you're trying to find something fun for the whole family to watch. By clicking your way into Netflix's Watch Instantly section, you can head to the Children & Family section, then filter the choices by one of a handful of categories: age, "animal tales," Disney, and so on.
But what if you want to narrow the selection to a particular range of years? And show only those movies that received an especially good rating?

Viswa Vikhyata Nata Chakravarthi-SV Ranga Rao

Any lover of telugu cinema need not have the introduction to a phenomenon which was called S V RANGA  RAO  aka SVR and his legacy. If there was any artist ever in Telugu cinema, in fact for entire Indian cinema of yore, to be called as of international standards, his name should be reckoned as SVR. He must be the only actor to have received a title which really suits his talent and aura, "VISWA NATA CHAKRAVARTHY." He gained that title and remained immortal in the heart of every film lover. 

When we look into the early life of SVR, we would find it very similar to scores of others who made it big in their middle age. SVR was a stage artist of repute and came to Madras with a passion for acting in films. He got a chance to play a role in “Varoodhini” with the help of his relative B V Ramanandam. But the film was a miserable flop. 

SVR was ridiculed in that movie and lost hope over his acting career. And being a self-respecting individual, he imposed himself an exile from film land when he joined as a Budget Assistant in the Tata Company in Jamshedpur. But his passion for films continued. But the hide and seek game of films and job continued for a while when Vijaya Productions thought SVR would be the apt Nepala Mantrika for "Patala Bhairavi." And as they say, rest is history. "Patala Bhairavi" brought forward exciting talents out from the closet and made them superstars. Along with SVR, NTR, Relangi and Padmanabham became household names and the songs in the voices of Ghantasala and Leela reverbarated on everybody's lips.

Soon many more movies followed from Vijaya Productions which established SVR as a character artiste and a villain. "Missamma," "Appu Chesi Pappu Koodu", "Maaya Bazaar", "Pelli Chesi Choodu," "Gundamma Katha" became the shining lights of SVR's career. And his career reached the pinnacle when SVR was chosen as the Best Actor at the Jakarta Film Festival for his role as Keechaka in the myhtological "Nartanasala." 

More hits followed with "Pandava Vanavasam" 'Sampoorna Ramayanam" "Papam Pasivadu" "Bandhavyalu" "Chiranjeevulu" "Pandanti Kapuram", "Iddaru Ammayilu" and many more. The strange part about SVR was that though he is often the character artiste in these movies, they used to rest on his able shoulders to bring the liveliness in the proceedings. 

SVR showed a kind of recklessness and arrogance in his dialogue delivery. He had a flawless diction and a style which was unmatchable. He used to deliver difficult Sanskrit sentences with ease which is unparalleled.  We can also see a similar dialogue modulation in Tamil legend MGR. The mimicry artists who try to mimic MGR unintentionally end up mimicking SVR. 

S V. Ranga Rao was a complete artist. He had all qualities in his personality that one actor should have. He became extraordinary one among millions with his magnificent personality and powerful diction. He didn’t imitate any one but every art student and actor consider him as their Idol. He expressed all emotions with a blink of his eye. His performances are considered as lessons for fine arts students. A true humanitarian lied behind his heart and he was firm supporter of upcoming artists.
  
He may have died on 18th July 1974 but his legacy lives.
