Jotika as Mandhakini..
  • Hi All,

    Last weekend I saw Mozhi and Pachai Kili Muthucharam. To say the least I was
    spellbound by the versatility of Jotika in both the movies. What
    struck me most was
    her characterization in both the movies. As a deaf and dump girl in
    Mozhi and as a
    terrifying villi in PKM. I think she is the most suitable of actors
    in the current lot
    to plat Mandhakini(as in Mozhi) and Nandini(PKM), if at all PS is
    taken as a movie project.
  • Hi sivaram

    nandini and mandakini look so much alike and we find nandini using
    that to her advantage unknowingly.
    she terrifies sundara solan.
    so many charecters recall another face when they see nandini but are
    not able to recall from the depths of their memories..

  • Hi sivaram

  • Hi Sivaram,

    Thats an interesting observation n seems quite right
    too. Also I think Ramya krishnan will fit in the role
    of Nandhini perfectly remembering her performance in
    Padayappa. I think the physical and mental
    characteristics of Nandhini suits well for her.

    I also heard sometime back that Manirathnam had an
    idea of making PS as a film. Due to the budget and
    ohter constraints the idea was dropped. Hope someone
    makes it.

    Hi all,

    Quick introdution abt me. I am Yuvaraj joined recently
    in this group. I am working as a Software Eng. in CTS.
    This is a fascinating group and hoping to be a part of
    all the activities of the group.

    Just a thought. Why can't we discuss that who(any
    actor/actress) fits it what role in PS? Whos knows, it
    may be helpful when someone makes a film abt PS. But
    if you guys feel that this would be an unwanted
    discussion then lets not go ahead with it. What say
    guys?

    ==============================================

    This was already discussed a lot some time back. You can check up
    the group archives for that. But I think it is an evergreen topic and
    if you start
    many will join.
  • Dear yuva
    welcome
    there have been discussion of this nature in the past with artists from TR Rajakumari to Al Pacino fitting various charectors is an interesting read but by all means start it again
  • Hi YuvaRaj,

    I am also from CTS. Dont tell me that you are the Yuvaraj who is
    part of the GMR migration team? If yes, we have met once, recently
    when I came to survey the new location for my team along with
    Jayachandran. :)
  • Yes Yuva

    it should provide an insight into how people have imagined the
    charecters of ps.
    it changes with changing times.

    sivaram is right. any one who sees jyothika in mozhi as a physically
    challenged girl will imagine mandakini like that.

  • Hey Guys,

    Thank u all for ur warm welcome.

    Thats a lot of info. It seems I have missed the fun
    b4. Anyways lets see this time around.
  • Satish - I belong to MIS division of Mellon. Anyways
    we will definitely meet over. Where r u located?
  • Sivraam,

    another coincidence with Jyothika! There is a song in
    the movie DUMDUMDUM(possibly) describes Jyothika as
    Thanjavur Raani. The song has been shot in Periya
    Kovil itself. You can enjoy seeing Jyothika in royal
    costumes in that song.

  • Venkatesh,

    Did Poonguzali ever meet Nandini in PS?

    ========================================

    Also, as for me Jo looked most beautiful in Dum Dum Dum than other
    movies she has acted.
  • Venkatesh,

    =================================

    No. Had they met Poonguzhali's reaction would have been very interesting.
    But
    I guess it would have been very emotional scene.
  • sure she does

    in the last scenes .
    and in one burst of emotionality I think she says I will think of
    nandini as equivalent to my dead aunt( oomai rani)

    book 5 towards the end.

    No, i think you are mentioning when Alwarkadiyan and Poonguzahli
    goes after mandhakini's killer. They are in the same place in the cave, but
    will not meet or speak to each other.
  • hi
    pungkuzhali and nandini do meet in chapter 47 book 5 of ps
    they are actually cousins you know.


    but they dont really talk. its one emotional circus in that chapter.

    everybody crying for everybody else.

  • Guys,

    Actually they dont meet each other. But Poonguzali
    does see Nandhini in Pachaimalai when Nandhini is
    about to run away.(Remember, that after Aditya's
    murder they stay in a cave) Initially Poonguzali is
    stunned to see Nandhini. She thinks that it is
    Mandhakini and then immediately remembers that her
    aunt is already dead and ralises that the lady she is
    looking at is Pazhuvoor rani.

    Please refer to Volume 5 (Thiyaga Chikgaram) in
    Chapter 46 (Aazhvanuku aabathu).

    Just remembered this incident, then searched for the
    exact chapter in the book and thought of sharing it.

Howdy, Stranger!
