I thought the likes of Rajnikanth and Vijay portray the most perfect larger than life heroes on screen in South India. Until I saw Pattabhiraman.
Read through the pics on why Pattabhiraman is one of the most well written mass characters of this decade.

Pattabhiraman is a caterer by profession. It gives him the opportunity to showcase his dancing prowess during marriages ( though the bride and groom feel like killing him) 
Pattabhiraman is 50+ years old, but still an eligible bachelor. He has seen around 43 girls (He keeps boasting about this count through the movie). But as obvious, none of the proposals have worked.
One day Pattabhiraman found his neighbour is bedridden. So he gives him some rice and sambar and makes him walk after several years. It is a medical miracle for most people. But for Pattabhiraman, this is business as usual.
Pattabhiraman has seen several Ranji Panicker movies. So he also delivers firebrand dialogues in front of mayor and other officials. He realizes that if he is a simple caterer, he wont be able to do that. So he also becomes a food inspector in the city of Trivandrum.
Pattabhiraman has learnt martial arts because he has many enemies. He can beat all the bad guys even if 10-20 come together at a time
Despite all his busy schedule, Pattabhiraman irrigates his own plants. And this simplicity makes the heroine fall for him.
Once in a function, his college friend took the audience through her memories of how Pattabhiraman had helped her and many poor college students with food reiterating what a big hearted person he is. The audience gave a standing ovation to him. But for him, this was a normal day
Pattabhiraman is a fan of Vijay and believes any mass hero should be giving press conferences and interviews
Sometimes Pattabhiraman looks at the laptop with his assistant behind as it usually gives the audience a feel that he is doing something serious.
During his leisure times, Pattabhiraman sits in middle of all his followers and sings along with them... because by now you know that is what most mass heroes do
Pattabhiraman also knows that superstar movies should have multiple heroines. So he rejects the first heroine who has one sided love towards him and marries another heroine. This gives him more time to romance on screen
Pattabhiraman covers himself with a huge blanket whenever he takes his gun out so that his wife doesn't see it. He knows a good mass hero has to keep secrets from his wife. (His wife wonders though what is wrong with this guy!)
Pattabhiraman realizes the movie is coming to closure, so he asks producer to bring some villain from Tamil industry and more bad guys. He tells some more punch dialogues and walks in slow motion to the BGM- " Oh Raama , Pattabhiraama". Villain and the other 2 guys are stunned!
Unlike other mass heroes, Pattabhiraman is also concerned about the movie's producer. After the movie's post credits, you can see him asking how many people have turned up to watch the movie. You can clearly see he is asking whether it is 1 or 3 ?!
