vadivelu is a special kind of comedian, in the sense that he can excel both in verbal and physical comedies with equal degree of comfort. in most films vadivelu has taken prefixes along with the names of his characters such as veecharuva veerasamy { rajakumaran }, kuppai thotti govinda samy { minor mappillai }, oomathurai p. c { gambeeram } kaipilla, { winner } telex pandian { ennamma kannu }, vibration vadivelu { baghavathi }, encounter ekaambaram { marudhamalai }, bullet paandi { koil } theepori thirumugam { english kaaran } naai sekar { thalai nagaram } and snake babu { aaryaa }. what makes his comedy scenes very powerful, is his vigorous voice modulation quite often in the line of madurai slang. he has hardly lost his space to any comedian, be it goundamani - sendhil or vivek, when it comes to a joint performance .
in films like pongalo pongal and manadhai thirudivittai, he proved to be a perfect foil to vivek, maintaining his competitive spirit in every scene. he would have bowed to goundamani like sendhil, only to take goundamani for a ride later. but it is only as independent comedian, he has risen to an enormous stature, ruling the audience to the roost. his success formula in this regard, has been effectively framed in a kind of team spirit with heroes like paarthiban, arjun, vijay, suriya and prasaanth. the verbal banter between parthiban and vadivelu or between arjun and vadivelu has been immensely captivating, sometimes taking the viewers, to the zenith of laughter. though vadivelu appeared in a few scenes with rajinikanth in muthu, it was in the film chandramugi he made highly hilarious scenes, in company with the superstar. most memorable laughter waves prevailed in chandramugi, as in other films like winner, giri, marudhamalai, otran, vetrikodi kattu, friends, thimiru, london, thalai nagaram, enga anna, yei, poekkiri and aadhavan, to mention a few .
he made his directorial debut through murai maman in 1995 and his second film is murai mapillai which was also the debut film of arun vijay. he directed big stars rajinikanth in arunachalam, kamal in anbe sivam. he has worked with karthik for 5 times, prashanth, arjun and sarathkumar 2 times. he directed ajith for only one time. he never directed vijay and surya. sundar. c started his acting career in 2006 in thalai nagaram after quitting direction. thalainagaram upon release only received lukewarm response but later turned out to be a surprise success at th box office. after a great debut in 2007 he released veerappu which also took a lukewarm opening. but after the highly positive word of mouth the film turned out to be a sleeper hit too. after getting recgonised well in 2008 he released sandai in which he worked under director shakti chidambaram. however this film took a huge opening and turned out to be a huge success at the box office. however his streak of succcessses went out when his aayudham seivom despite taking a good opening flopped badly at the box office. in 2009 his first release perumal turned out to be a disaster. but his next film thee turned out to be a flop after taking a huge opening. after that his aiyantham padai was a average grosser. in 2010 his first release guru sishyan turned out to be a flop despite a good opening. his following film vaadaa turned out to be a huge bomb too. his last release in 2010 which was nagaram was a flop despite receiving highly positive reviews for its good story, vadivelu' s comedy and anuya' s glamour avatar. he is currently shooting murattu kaalai .
in 2003, he directed two films winner and anbe sivam. the former was successful and the comedy scenes from that film became hugely popular. however the latter despite being critically acclaimed, the film was under performed but became a cult classic. after directing rendu (2006), sundar took a break from directing in order to concentrate on acting career. he made his acting debut as lead actor with thalainagaram (2006) which was well received. except thalainagaram, his other films as lead actor received negative reviews and performed poorly at box - office. he then made a comeback as a director with nagaram marupakkam (2010) .

sundar started his career assisting director manivannan and made his directorial debut with murai maman (1996). sundar revealed that he initially wanted a leading action hero to play the lead role in his film and approached sarathkumar, but the producer was unavailable to sign the actor. subsequently the director chose jayaram to play the lead role in the film and also said that he tapped into his innate sense of humour, as jayaram was very famous for his humour in malayalam. murai maaman did well at the box - office and sundar went on to direct many humour themed films like ullathai allithaa (1996), mettukudi (1996) and unakkaga ellam unakkaga (1999). in 1997, he directed his high - profile project till date, arunachalam with rajinikanth. he also occasionally directed action and thriller films like unnai kann theduthe (2000), rishi (2001) and chinna (2005) .

hills to the south, and the west manipur hills to the west. average elevations vary between 5, 000 and 6, 000 feet (1, 500 and 1, 800 metres), although the hills in the north rise above 9, 500 feet (2, 900 metres). in the west the

agriculture and forestry are the main sources of income. rice is the major crop, and the rich soil also supports corn (maize), sugarcane, mustard, tobacco, orchard fruits, and pulses (legumes). terracing is common in the hills, where the farmers plow the ground with hand hoes. among some of the hill tribes, domestic animals are kept only for meat and are not milked or used for hauling. teak and bamboo are major forestry products. the nagas are known to use intoxicants to catch fish .

manipur remains somewhat isolated from the rest of india, and communications within the state are poor. a national highway passes through the state from tamu on the myanmar border in the south via imphal to dimapur (in nagaland) in the north; this highway also connects imphal with the northeast frontier railway near dimapur. there are air links from imphal to guwahati and silchar in assam and to kolkata (calcutta) in west bengal state .

in 1907 the government was assumed by the raja and the durbar, or council, whose vice president was a member of the indian civil service. subsequently, the administration was transferred to the raja, and the vice president of the durbar became its president. after an uprising of the kuki hill tribes in 1917, a new system of government was adopted; the region was divided into three subdivisions, each headed by an officer from the neighbouring government of assam .
with the accession of manipur to india in 1947, the political agency exercised by assam was abolished. two years later manipur became a union territory governed by a chief commissioner and an elected territorial council. in 1969 the office of chief commissioner was replaced by that of lieutenant governor, whose status was changed to governor when manipur became a constituent state of the indian union on july 21, 1972 .

. blueberry is an atypical western hero; he is not a wandering lawman who brings evil - doers to justice, nor a handsome cowboy who
rides into town, saves the ranch, becomes the new sheriff and marries the schoolmarm .
in any situation, he sees what he thinks needs doing, and he does it .
the story follows michael steven donovan, nicknamed
blueberry
, a name he chose when fleeing from his southern enemies (which was inspired when he looked at a blueberry bush), starting with his adventures as a lieutenant in the united states cavalry shortly after the american civil war. he is accompanied in many tales by his hard - drinking deputy, jimmy mcclure, and later also by red woolley, a rugged pioneer .
donovan is the son of a rich southern farmer and started as a dedicated racist. he was framed for a murder he did not commit, had to flee and was saved by an african - american. he became an enemy of discrimination of all kinds, fought against the confederates (although he was a southerner himself), and tried to protect the rights of native americans .
. charlier refused at first, since he never felt much empathy for the genre. in 1963 the magazine sent charlier on a reporting assignment to
, california. he took the opportunity to discover the american west, returning to france with a strong urge to write a western. first he asked
initially titled
fort navajo
, the story grew into 46 pages over the following issues. in this series blueberry - whose physical appearance was inspired by french actor
- was only one of many protagonists. charlier came up with the name during his american trip :
when i was traveling throughout the west, i was accompanied by a fellow journalist who was just in love with blueberry jam, so much in love, in fact, that i had nicknamed him
blueberry
. when i began to create the new series, and everything started to fall into place, i decided to reuse my friend' s nickname, because i liked it and thought it was funny. [... ] i had no idea that he would prove so popular that he would eventually take over the entire series, and later we would be stuck with that silly name !
charlier and giraud continued to add to the legend of mike blueberry in pilote and other titles even into the 1990s. during that time the artistic style has varied greatly, much as with giraud' s other works. in the same volume, sweeping landscapes will contrast sharply with hard - edged action scenes and the art matches the changing mood of the story quite well. like much of the western genre, blueberry touches on the constant conflict between violence and tranquility, nature and civilization, and the obligation of the strong to protect the weak .
after charlier' s death, giraud wrote and drew five albums, from mister blueberry to dust, until his own death in 2012 .
) resulting into all kinds of formats and quality—from b / w, american comic book sized budget collections to full color european style albums with many extras. since 1993 no blueberry comics have been published in english. moebius painted new covers for the epic line of blueberry. actually this was the first time blueberry was published under giraud' s
, the translator of the books wrote :
this is quite ironic because giraud first coined the' moebius' pseudonym precisely because he wanted to keep his two bodies of work separate. yet, the artist recognizes the fact that he has now become better known in this country under his'
two chapters in one book. chapter title: the ghost with the golden bullets
two chapters in one book. chapter title :
the half - a - million dollar man
divided into sequels: cheval noir # 46 - 50. black and white, american current size comic book format .
in the case of some epic versions (chihuahua pearl, ballad for a coffin, angel face, the ghost tribe, and the end of the trail), titan books has issued the identically same albums for the uk market, with a few months delay .
mojo press published a black and white, american comic book sized budget collection: the blueberry saga # 1: the confederate gold in 1996. it contains the following stories: chihuahua pearl ,
the half - a - million dollar man
, ballad for a coffin, the outlaw, angel face. it also contains a 14 page non blueberry comic .
some issues of graphitti design' s series presenting moebius dealt with blueberry. moebius # 9 contains the the lost dutchman' s mine and the ghost with the golden bullets, along with non - blueberry westerns (king of the buffalo, jim cutlass: mississippi river) .
since its inception, the series has slowly gained a large following in europe, and has been extensively translated into several languages including spanish, portuguese, italian, german, dutch, swedish, danish, norwegian, polish, finnish, serbo - croatian, hungarian and turkish. apart from europe, in india it has been translated in mizo by mahlua of cydit communications, aizawl, tamil by prakash publishers in their
muthu
comics, and also in indonesian .
a
prequel
series, la jeunesse de blueberry (young blueberry), as well as the sequels marshal blueberry and mister blueberry have been published as well, with other artists and writers, most famously william vance .
a prequel dealing with blueberry' s early years, during the american civil war —how the racist son of a wealthy plantation owner turned into a yankee bugler and all the adventures after that. the material for the first few albums were first seen in digest size super pocket pilote during the late sixties. later these were blown up, rearranged, colored, to fit the album format. some panels were omitted in the process. the 1990 english language edition of these stories, by catalan communications under their
comcat
line, give track of the changes and present the left out panels. only the first three stories were published in english, although the company planned to publish the missouri demons and terror over kansas, as can be seen on the back covers of the ones published. the three albums were also published in a single hardcover version .
in the lead role. however, many purists were appalled by this film .
in addition to the comic strips, blueberry and his fellow characters can be found on posters, clothing, and other items .

during the last century, apart from g. ramanathan, viswanathan ramamurthy and k. v, mahadevan there were more than half a dozen other music directors who competed for higher level positions and made in roads, as music makers of individual merit and popularity. each one’s music could be identified by a kind of trade mark that sweetened their compositions and helped them get firmly rooted to the ground. similarly, each one had the sum and substance of musical richness that retained their career undeterred. this article looks upon them with esteem and special recognition .
t. r papa who entered tamil film music almost at the time of g. ramanathan, was known by his music direction of films of sivaji ganesan such as anbu, raja rani, rangoon radha and kuravanji. the two mgr films for which he composed music were nallavan vaazhvaan and thaai magalukku kattia thaali. his two gemini ganesan movies were aasai and mallika. apart from malliga he was the music composer for a few other films of the citadel pictures house like vijayapuri veeran, iravum pagalum and kaadhal paduthum paadu. his music greatly helped the success of rambaiyin kaadhal in which k. a. thangavelu played the hero. songs like ‘samarasam ulaavum’ and ‘baghavaane mounam aeno’from sirkazhi govinda - rajan’s scintillating voice are life time melodies. the movie kumara raja which had the most popular song of j. b. chandrababu ‘onnume puriyala ulagathula’ owes its remembrance to the lovable music of t. r. papa. his other immortally popular songs are from nallavan vaazhvaan. similarly, songs like iravum varum pagalum varum, ullathin kadhavugal kangalada, { both sung by tms } ullathile uram venumada [ a. m. raja } and ‘iraivan enroru kavignan’ { sung by sp. balasubramanyam from aein } made his contribution memorable. t. r. papa continued to compose music for films of the nineteen seventies like teecharamma, aein, maru - piravi, vairam and avasara kalyaanam. a few other lasting tunes of t. r. papa are ‘aasai pongum’ { aasai }' varuvein naan unadhu maaligaiyin vaasalukke’ { mallika } ’nee sollaavidil yaar solluvaar nilave’ { kuravanji } .
s. m. subbaiah naidu, the other early contemporary of g. ramanathan, started his musical career with the mgr films abimanyu, mohini raajakumaari and marmayogi. his later works for mgr films include films like malaikallan, nadodi mannan, thrudaathe, aasai mugam and thaayin madiyil. some of his most exciting songs from this list of films are ‘ethanai kaalam dhaan yematruvaar indha naattile’ ‘kannil vandhu minnal poel’ ‘thoongaadhethambi thoongaathe’’thirudaathe papa thirudathe’ and ‘ethanai periya manidhanukku ethanai siriya manmirukku’ three of his well known sivaji ganesan films were annaiyin aanai, maragatham and kalyaniyin kanavan, the songs ‘annaiyai poel oru dheivamillai’' vaazhvinile vaazhvinile' became instant hits. some of his other films that need a special mention are velaikkaari, thigambara saamiyaar, thirumanam, nalla theerpu, konjum salangai, pandhayam, mannippu, naalum therindhavan, panakkaara pillai and aindhu latcham. the song‘nee enge en ninaivugal ange ‘ from mannippu will ever remain as one of his most powerful musical pieces. sms as he was briefly called in film circles is specially known for his singularly striking use of percussion instruments .
another noted music composer of this period was t. g. lingappa who was closer to b. r. pantulu and directed music for the latter’s earlier movies like kalyaanam panniyum brammachaari, thangamalai ragasiam, sabash meena and muradan muthu. his other sivaji ganesan films were, mudhal thedhi, naane raaja and bommai kalyaanam. two other films for which lingappa composed music were, s. , s. rajendran’s sangilithevan and gemini ganesan’s’ ellorum innaattu mannar. p. suseela’s' amudhai pozhiyum nilave’ from thangamalai ragasiyam,' kaanaa inbam kanindhadhenoe’ from sabash meena and ‘thingal urangidum nerathilum’ from sangilithevan are enough to perpetuate the memory of this great music composer .
ghantasala has found a special place in tamil cinema not only by his vocal contribution but also by his most soothing musical composition. he has enriched films like, devadas, paataala bhairavi, tenali raman, anaarkali, lila majnu, maayaa bazaar, engal veettu mahalakshmi and anbu sagodharargal by his beautiful musical capability. in his music one could experience a soul sustaining process of peace and happiness. it would be like listening to the songs of a mukesh or magendra kaboor or mannade of the hindi film music world. it is always a pleasure to listen to ghantasala’s music at bed time for a peaceful sleep without any onslaught of nightmarish dreams. same is the case with a. m. raja who composed music for a few tamil films like kalyana parisu, vidi velli, thein nilavu and adi perukku. eternal melodies are the extraordinary legacy of these two men. there were a few other telugu musicians like s. rajeswara rao { missiamma, madharkula manickam } t. chelapathi rao { amaradeepam, meenda sorgam and punar jenmam } and aadhi narayana rao { adutha veettupen and manalane mangaiyin bagyam } whose musical work in tamil cinema is limited but great .
r. sudharsanam the other famous face of tamil film music has to his credit ‘parasakthi’ the first film of sivaji ganesan followed by other wonderful films like rathakanneer, kuladheivam, sellapillai, thilagam, sagodhari, dheivapiravi, kalathur kannamma, annai, naanum oru penn, anbukkarangal and kaakkum karangal. songs like ‘nenju porukku dhillaiye’‘kutram purindhavan’ ‘ anbaale thediya en arivu selvam’ { all in the unique voice of c. s. jeyaraman }' kangalin vaarthaikal' { a. m. raja and p. suseela }' annai enbaval needhaanaa' { p. banumathi }' kannaa karumai nira kannaa’ { p. suseela }' kagidhathil kappal seidhu' { tms } and' allithandu kaalgaleduthu' { tms and p. suseela } carry the charm of his distinct musical thrust .
among the late entrants, v. kumar became the chosen music director of k. balachander for many of his films and his prolific contribution of melodies supported by the use of limited musical instruments, added to the strength of k. b' s quality - oriented films. films like naanal { kuyil koovi thuyil ezhuppa, by soolamangalam rajalakshmi }, velli vizha { kaadhoedudhaan naan peisuvein by l. r. eswari } edhir neechal { thaamarai kannangal by pb srinivas and p. suseela } nootrukku nooru { naan unnai vazhthi paadugirein by p. suseela } neerkumizhi { aadi adangum vaazhkai yada, by sirkazhi govindarajan } major chandrakanth { oru naal yaaroe, by p. suseela } and iru kodugal { punnagai mannan poovizhi kannan, by p. suseela and jamuna raani } will refresh nostalgic memories of many a worthy movie of k. balachander. i have mentioned only some movies here. besides kala kendra films, kumar has also worked for a few muktha pictures’ films like niraikudam and bommalaattam { nalla naaal paarkavoe, by tms and p. suseela }. his other films include panakkaara penn, veguli penn { the famous tms song engellaam valai osai keitkinradhoe } and thein sindhudhe vaanam. none of the songs of kumar would create a jarring note and the soothing combination of vocal and instrumental components of music has always been the trade mark of kumar .
if v. kumar remained the favourite of k. balachander, the duo shankar ganesh were the regular music composers for the dhandayudhabaani pictures of devar film circuit. films like magarasi, akka thangai, aattukkara alamelu, sorgam naragam, vellikizhamai viradham, ranga, thaai veedu, thaayillaamal naanillai, komadha en kulamadha and adhisiappiravigal for which the duo composed music were from the devar production house. . besides, they have the proud position of composing music for mgr films like idhaya veenai and naan yen pirandhein. for the avm banner they have worked for the film samsaaram adhu minsaaram. they have also been associated with the sujatha cine arts' films like mangamma sabatham, vidhi, billa etc. their other popular movies are neeyaa, darling darling darling, kanni paruvathile and vandi chakkaram. if v. kumar tried to bring out the voice mould and efficacy of the singers sankar ganesh believed more in the instrumental wield over songs and their musical tuning. chandrabose, the other well - known music director of this period, had his merit and talent recognized by the avm banner by composing music for the two most successful rajinikanth films manithan and raja chinna roja, besides being the music director for rajini' s earlier film mangudi minor. he has also composed music for two other avm films like sankar guru, and maanagarakkaaval. he carries the pride of making music for the national award winning film pudhiya paadhai and the sathyaraj entertainer anna nagar mudhal theru. what is very special about chandrabose music is his high level of lyrical clarity and optimum instrumental thrust. he has given us many hits like' kaala kaala' as well as the title song from manithan,' super starru yarunnu ketta' from raja sinna roja and' medhuva meduvaa oru kaadhal paattu' from anna nagar mudhal theru
besides these musicians, the violin maestro kunnakkudi vaidhiyanathan has also joined the wagon of music directors once a way by directing music for a. p. nagarajan’s films like thirumalai thenkumari, kaaraikkal ammaiyaar, raja raja cholan and mel naattu maru magal. similarly the devar films unit also had the privilege of availing the musical support of vaidhiyanathan for their films dheivam and thiruvarul. all these films either had a spiritual theme or a carnatic base. with his profound understanding of traditional music, vaidhyanathan could substantially enrich the musical component of the films mentioned above. like kunnakkudi vaidhyanathan, soolamangalam rajalakshmi the noted carnatic singer also composed music for films like karpooram, dharisanam, magizhampoo, manam oru kurangu, and jeevanaadi. the songs from karpooram and dharisanam deserve a special place for quality stuff music .
while all these music directors made tamil cinema reach higher positions in creativity and entertainment, some have been acknowledged more than the others or some have not been given their due recognition. the objective of this article is to reasonably record their service and respect them with a sense of gratitude and appreciation. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 0 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
it is a known fact that quite a few tamil actors here and there take a fancy for directing films once a way. but very rarely did directors show much interest in acting at least till the middle of nineteen eighties. for quite long, without the facility of television channels, very little opportunity was there even to see the photos of highly esteemed directors like a. bhimsingh, a. c. thirulokchander ,
p. madhavan, k. s. gopala krishnan, k. balachander, balu mahendra, j. mahendran, p. neelakandan and s. p. muthu raman. it was a. p. nagarajan who first appeared as poet nakkeeran in his most popular film thiruvilaiyaadal and made an eternal mark by his clear and chaste delivery of tamil dialogues. then directors like k. vijayan began to appear at least in a single scene of their films. new age spokesman barathiraja too has acted in a couple of films. chitra lakshmanan who served as assitant director of barathiraja, became a regular actor playing character and comedy roles, of course, simultaneously directing films like kamal' s soorasamhaaram and prabu' s periya thambi. same is the case with director ramesh kanna who is now more known as a comedian than film director .
it was t. rajender who after giving his mega hit movie oruthalai raagam in the mid seventies, began to seriously try acting, first in character roles and then as hero in a few movies. tamil film viewers can never forget his sterling performance as the elder brother of heroines in films like thangaikkor geedham and. en thangai kalyani. as a hero he was impressive in mythili ennai kaadhali and samsaara sangeedham. his other popular movies were oru thaayin sabadham sonnaaldhaan kaadhalaa, kaadhal azhivadhillai and veerasaamy. what made t. rajender from the other film makers was his constantly valid sentimental themes and the emotionally intense depiction of scenes and characters in all his movies. quite often melodramatic outbursts would make his narration and acting very appealing to the viewers. his tamil specially known for its thrust on alliteration in framing dialogues placed him on a distinct pedestal as a film maker. his lyrics and music composition have never failed to create the intended emotional impact on the audience. t. rajender could be called a pioneer among directors turning to acting, without losing his grip in the manifold management of film making involving multifarious tasks like direction, acting, music composition, dialogues and lyrics writing, singing, dancing and fighting. he can be called the grand master of film making .
from the nineteen eighties onward, many film directors vigorously looked upon the tinsel world with a passion for acting. while some have been doing a successful round as character actors, a few of them have played hero roles with zeal and conviction, to the extent of casting indelible impressions on the mind of the audience, by creating an exclusive space for themselves on the big screen. sometamil film directors occupy distinguished positions in this regard .
k. bagyaraj and r. parthiban, who began to direct themselves as heroes created some box office hits. tamil film audience owe a lot to these two men of meritorious talent, for unfolding an awesome evolution of creativity in celluloid form. both these men are intelligent performers with ripeness of imagination and right understanding of reality and fiction. as actors, they have excellently brought out the intrinsic layers of ideas and emotions perfectly channelized in the right form, to win the audience mood. it is their sharpness of understanding the right themes and story lines of appealing under - currents, that enabled them to create waves among the movie goers, and project them as the right type of film makers and actors. the audience earnestly loved to watch the pranks and mischievous deliberations of bagyaraj and parthiban whose focus on dialogues was not only inventive but also thought provoking. both have consistently reflected their avowed preference for the humour track for a valued journey of thoughts and emotions towards an enlightening destination. while bagyaraj has attracted everyone by his innate geniality, parthiban has become closer by his sharpness and witticism. the best of bagyaraj are films like mouna geedhangal, andha ezhu naatkal, darling darling darling and mudhaanai mudichu. parthiban has to his credit films such as pudhiya paadhai, housefull, barathi kannamma and kaakkai chraginile. despite this restrictive listing one could very well say that as actors, both of them have never failed to entertain the audience by their common sense and commendable wit. a long list of their films would vindicate this observation.
