The classic Tamil comedy duo — Goundamani & Senthil

-
Hello! Welcome back. Sukriti AD here.

This post is about the iconic Tamil comedy duo—Goundamani & Senthil.


It's all smiles when we hear these two names, right? They have never failed to entertain us. In fact, this duo is known as 'Laurel and Hardy of Tamil cinema'.

Both Goundamani and Senthil have a strong theatrical background.


Goundamani's debut film was Server Sundaram (1964), in which he played a small role, while Senthil's was a Malayalam film named Itthikara Pakki (1980). 

Goundamani is known for his ability to 'counter', and Senthil's characters were usually foolish but cunning at the same time. 

Senthil asks Goundamani silly questions and Goundamani replies hilariously—this was loved by the audience. 

Goundamani calls Senthil 'Naayey' in most of the cases, but he is also known for his effortless skill of calling Senthil some 'Thalaya' or 'vaaya'. Usually, Senthil addresses him as 'Anney'. 

This pair dominated the Tamil industry as comedians during the 1980's and 1990's, for two decades straight. 

Here are a few evergreen dialogues/comedy scenes of our favourite comedy duo:

• Vaazhapazham comedy

• Petromax light comedy ("Petromax light-aeh dhaan venumaa?")

• Goundamani's dialogue—"Nee sonna vaakiyatha, Thanjavur kovil kalvettu la vetti vachitu, adhu pakkathuliyey neeyum ukkandhuko"

• Goundamani's dialogue—"Dei, idhukku dhaan oorukkulla oru all-in-all azhaguraja venumgaradhu!"

• Goundamani's dialogue—"Arasiyal la idhellaam saadhaarnamappa.."

• Goundamani's dialogue—"Adangappa, idhu ulaga nadipu daa saamy"

• Goundamani's dialogue—"Sangoodhara vayasula sangeeeeethaa!"

• Goundamani's dialogue—"Adhu yenda yenna paathu andha kelvi keta?"

• Senthil's dialogue—"Neenga periya aalunney!"

• Senthil's dialogue—"No comments, simply waste"

And the list goes on~
