When I first started watching tamil movies in the 1980s.... the film format had a balanced format.....
the main adeventure story of the hero..........with portions of comedy romance landscape and then finally return to the adventure...
This format was the generic in indian maintstream cinema.. in hindi , telugu and tamil... but more rigidly maintained in tamil...
Superstar Rajani...adhered to this standard....
As the Rajani and Kamalan dominance passed... in the late 90s... a slighlyt new formated developed.. that focused away from adventure....
Here some of the landmark comedians from the last 15 years.... had disappeared from as the format was dropped... Such landmark comedies... were the heroes of my cinema...
they were the heoes for me...
the two big names : Goundermanu and Senthil.....

The late 90s format had less dominant quality of comedy..
IN the 2000s a new format developed... with emergeance of comedy again....
this time the newer generations comedians emerged:
Vivek and Vadivel...
To me these two towers... have gone on to become the two biggest stars in this decade...
as the big stars.... of the previous ers... Rajni and Kamal... had reduced the amount of films reduced....
the void in the market... atleast in the number of releases and the attention of the viewers was met with new young " heroes"....
Vijay and Ajith....
Both of them proved to be box office succeses.. but were not comparable in the magnificent charisma of Kamalan and Rajani....
To me.. void in this charisma has been met by Vivek and Vadivel... only....
The other heroes that have come up... such as Surya and Vikram are credible.. but the number of releases is short of vikram... and vikram is few steps away... what deters surya most is his poor selection of films whihc seem to be motivated by the need to compete with vijay and ajith and the younger heroes in the line "westernized metropolitan themed films."....
Despite box office succeses.. the low quliaty in nature of these films.. have hurt his credbility as top star in cinema...
The lasting superstars of the decade have been Vadivel and Vivek....:
