Kamal Vs Rajini: Who is The Best?


3. "Well what about the movies they starred in?", you ask.
Well Rajini’s latest film released, Enthiran (‘Robot’ in Hindi) was the most expensive Indian film ever made as of 2010, and ultimately went on to become the highest-grossing film in India of its time. Enthiran also made it to the top 50 on IMDB’s (Internet Movie Database) list of top-205 films of the world in 2010, and is the only Tamil film to be featured on this list. Few memorable hits of the Superstar of the South include ‘Badsha’, ‘Billa’, and ‘Padaiyappa’ among a long list.


And on the same note, Kamal Haasan’s Dasavathaaram, (a movie in which he portrayed 10 different roles), is known to be one of the first modern sci-fi films made in India that the actor co-wrote along with the film's director (K. S. Ravikumar). It also remains one of the most expensive Indian films ever made. The film became the first highest grossing film ever in Tamil cinema as of 2008, and won him critical acclaim for his performance. The film was distributed by Walt Disney Pictures in Canada, the first Tamil film to have been distributed by the company. It ultimately grossed more than 2 billion worldwide. Kamal’s other hits include ‘Nayagan’, (a movie that saw him earning his third Indian National Award and was listed in TIME Magazine’s “All TIME-100 movies” list), ‘Moondram Pirai’ (‘Sadhma’ in Hindi), and ‘Thevar Magan’ (‘Virasat’ in Hindi).
