* Filmfare Best Actor Award for Vaali (1999)
* Filmfare Best Actor Award for Villain (2002)
* Filmfare Best Actor Award for Varalaru:
History of Godfather (2006)
Given the right kind of opportunity, Ajith
can rock the screen; as he proved repeatedly
under the experienced hands of KS Ravikumar
twice, both Villain and Varalaaru added a
huge amount of respect to Ajith, the actor,
for playing the mentally retarded adult and
the effeminate dancer respectively, sticking
to commercial requirements and not getting
overly dramatic. But, the most unanimous decision
to hand the Filmfare to Ajith should have
come (one suspects) for his unforgettable
act in Vaali; really villainy brings the best
out of most actors. Wonder where such roles
have gone these days? Hardly get to see Ajith
attempting much variety!
