Sivaji - Memories still green

he says and adds, "I had seen his Paava Manippu more than 100 times. I lost count of the times, however."

"All his films were musical hits. In Parthaal Pasi Theerum, I love all songs specially 'Ullam Enbadhu'...

Every character will have a say in his films. Though predominantly all were multi-starrers, all characters will have a say in the film. The way he narrates the story is sure to strike a chord with audience. It is a moment to cherish when his film completes 50 years and is still talked about", he
adds.

On Sunday last, it was a trip down the memory lane for the participants at a function in Chennai, when the Nadigar Thilagam Film Appreciation Society, a forum for the fans and admirers of late actor Sivaji Ganesan, was inaugurated.

The event also coincided with the golden jubilee of 'Parthal Pasi Theerum'.

Speakers at the function, including the society's president and veteran actor Y Gee Mahendra, Sivaji's elder son Ramkumar, Sowcar Janaki and script writer Aroor Das, paid rich tributes on Sivaji and his acting prowess.
