Adieu, Nagesh

But if there had been any who thought he could only shine at comedy or random dance pieces, Nagesh had them change their opinions swiftly with movies like Edhirneechal (1968), where he played Maadhu, a down-and-out youth living at the beck and call of a group of families; Neerkumizhi (1965), where he played a terminally-ill patient; Baama Vijayam (1967), where he was one of three middle-class brothers who are each infatuated with an actress next door; Thamarai Nenjam (1968), where he portrayed an epileptic young man who falls for the heroine. The list is endless.
