Becos all the National Media knows A.R.Rehman only. They don't know about even ILAYARAJA The Great Musician.
Ibrahim Sheikh and realpresident said that Rajini remade 3 movies of Amitabh and so there is no Rajini without Amitabh. This is the most ridiculous statements. The 3 movies they mentioned were Velaikaran, Thee and Billa. These were not defining movies of Rajini's career. If he hadn't done those movies, he would still be the same superstar only with 3 lesser movies (149 instead of 152). This would have made Sivaji an even bigger deal because it would have been his 150th movie.
Just think about this. Sholay, the movie that defined Amitabh's success, was inspired by Sergio Leone's westerns and Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai. Does that mean there would be no Amitabh without Sergio Leone and Akira Kurosawa? Guys please think before you post something so ridiculous.
Miyuki Shinogi, a 21-year-old college student in Tokyo, would rather be in southern India. No problem. She meets a friend at a small Ginza theater and buys tickets to "Yajaman, the Dancing Maharaja II." Shinogi took in her first Indian movie last summer, after reading a gushing review of "Muthu, the Dancing Maharaja." "That was it, I was hooked for life," she says, whispering between dance scenes. "Muthu had everything a movie fan could ask for, from dancing and singing to love scenes and tears. Most of all, it made me feel good."
Japanese yearn for feel-good movies these days%u2014 and the Madras film industry delivers. With armies of glittering dancers, garish sets and simple, sappy plots, south Indian movies are now the top draw at art theaters. Known as "masala musicals," after the region's blend of spices, these films touch a chord in a nation racked by recession and nostalgic for happy endings, says Shinya Aoki, editor of Japan's most prestigious film journal. "Indian films are filled with the classical entertainment movies used to offer," he says.
Made in 1995, "Muthu" came to Japan only last year. At Cinema Rise in Tokyo's trendy Shibuya district, it attracted more than 127,000 viewers in a 23-week run, netting the theater about $1.7 million%u2014its biggest gate of the year. "It was the 'Titanic' of the art theaters," says Atsushi Ichikawa, "Muthu's" Japanese distributor. "Forget about the recession," urged a flier for "Muthu." "Forget about the millennium. Get rid of your worries... This is the first page of a pleasant dream that will continue for the rest of your life."
Japan's masala fascination began in 1996 at a video shop in Singapore's Little India. Japanese film critic Jun Edoki, visiting the store, asked a clerk to recommend a sampling of Indian movies. "Muthu" was among the films he carried back to Japan, and when Edoki sat with his wife to view it in Tokyo, they were mesmerized. "It was absolutely fascinating%u2014 even without subtitles," he recalls. "We became addicted to the point where we had to see at least part of the film at least once a day." Edoki shopped "Muthu" around until Ichikawa's company, Xanadeux, agreed to release it.
Rajinikanth, the male lead in "Muthu" and "Yajaman," has supplanted Leonardo DiCaprio as Japan's trendiest heartthrob. His female lead in both films, the starlet Meena, charmed fans on a visit to Japan last year. Godo Shusei, a large Japanese distillery, recently hired Indian actors to re-create a dance scene from "Muthu"%u2014 this time as a sales pitch for Chuhai, a carbonated alcoholic beverage.
So far, nearly 500,000 Japanese have paid to see "Muthu," either on the big screen or on video. It premieres on satellite television in June. "Yajaman, the Dancing Maharaja II," remains a top draw. Xanadeux hopes for another Indian hit with the year-end release of "Jeans," a 1998 Madras blockbuster. It tells the story of wealthy lovers who circle the globe to see the world's great monuments%u2014from the Statue of Liberty to the Pyramids of Egypt, where they dance with 50 camels. That's a journey Japanese moviegoers won't want to miss.

I agree that most actors aspire for winning an Oscar. I am just saying we don't have to limit our recognition to people winning Oscars. Many of these greats didn't win Oscars not because they didn't deserve it, but because there was a lot of politics. For example, Orson Welles was nominated for 4 Oscars for his classic Citizen Kane. Just because he was considered the boy wonder who was going to redefine movie industry, the old gasbags who vote for Oscars boycotted the movie.
Also, nice to meet you too. It sure was refreshing to discuss something rationally instead of abusing each other.
