Arivudai Nambi Kaliyaperumal Chandran
"Sattaila Enna Bommai" (Whats the graffiti on your shirt) asks the interviewer and the interviewee replies "Poonai, Sir" (Cat). "Adhula Enna Peruma" (Why are you so proud of it)questions the interviewer and orders the interviewee to get out. Don't worry this is not a Silicon Valley job interview. This is from one of my favorite movies of all time "Thillu Mullu". As I am sitting at work, I reminded about this movie and cannot stop laughing.
The Interviewer in this movie is Sri Ramachandra Murthy played by "Thengai" Srinivasan- what a portrayal by a great actor. He is a strict boss who adheres to Gandhian principles and cannot tolerate sports, sportslovers. He is committed to the three D's - Dedication, Discipline and Determination. He is looking for an assistant and reviews the candidates in a very different fashion. There is one candidate who comes in with the name of Subramaniya Bharathi( Bharathi is a great Tamil poet) and would be unable to pronounce even the basic syllables of the Tamil Languages. So who gets the job finally? Thalaivar "Rajni" comes in as Arivudai Nambi Kaliyaperumal Chandran and wins the heart of Thengai.
Amazing movie. Thengai and Sowkar Janaki outdo each other in every scene. Rajini is fabulous. Hindi folks will be crying foul as the movie was a take-off from "Gol-Maal". I have not had a chance to see "Gol-Maal" but an action hero like Rajni doing comedy with such good timing was commendable.

I did see Gol Maal. Amol Palekhar played Rajini's part.
Amol is a great actor, but nothing compared to Rajini's timing. I would rate thillu mullu above gol maal.
and both the movies have a memorable song, "aane wala pal" in gol maal, and "raagangal pathinaru" in thillu mullu.
