jupiter pictures had more than one movie on the anvil at any given time, and, during 1948, this unit released another film besides mohini, a mythological, abhimanyu. this film introduced a new director a. kasilingam, who was an editor at jupiter. a new hero also made his debut as abhimanyu. his name was s. m. kumaresan. the success of this film brought him laurels but sadly he faded fast from the scene. in abhimanyu, a young man, blessed with wit, brilliance, a facile pen and silver tongue, wrote the dialogue, then assisting a. s. a. sami, who was credited for the script in the titles. this man who got no credit, was a man of destiny, who would create history not only as a script - writer but also as a political leader, a man of the masses, a person of rare charisma. his name was muthuvel karunanidhi !

the promos on air show priyanka prancing around in towel, setting tongues wagging about the film being bolder than usual. “well, it is a bold film, ” admits raj. “if the audience accepts it, it will be a trend - setter in tollywood. there isn’t just the towel shot. there are some tender, steamy moments too. but there’s nothing vulgar. my film is for everybody. ”

mgr who plays arjuna, a minor role in the movie, gives a funeral oration after the death of his son in the battle. he describes him as “anbu tamizh magan! ” in one stroke, karunanidhi made abhimanyu a son of the tamil soil and shiftedthe mahabharatham to this part of the country !
a big chunk of the collections is posters for mythological and historical films such as sampoorna ramayan (1961), shree ganesh (1962), veer abhimanyu (1965), shankar sati anusuya (1965), veer bhimsen (1964), laxmi narayan (1951), balram srikrishna (1968) .
after marriage, they started a film production company mercury films. the first production was pona machan thirumbi vanthaan (1954) with sriram and kuchalakumari in the lead roles. the film earned a moderate profit. the second production was vaazhvile oru naal (1956) with sivaji ganesan and g. varalakshmi in the lead roles .

the film was shot last year, in calcutta, siliguri and visakhapatnam (a song sequence). but why was it was all so hush - hush? “actually we didn’t want to talk about the film then as the story is sensitive. besides there are some marketing strategies too. plus, we didn’t want to reveal the two new faces. ”
the third attempt was a film titled, sirikkum silai with mgr with the expectation of recovering the money that were lost in their previous films, but the production had to be given up within a few days of shooting. they tried a fourth attempt in the film adichathu yoham with ravichandran which unfortunately had also to be shelved in the middle. they incurred heavy losses due to these two films .
i think i have been bold enough in my debut film to do a song wrapped in a towel. but i knew about that while reading the script and there was no problem while shooting the song .
i don’t deny that the film has glimpses of rizwanur - priyanka. but it’s not only their story. it’s about all those young boys and girls who fall in love and then take a drastic step .
( sami told this writer years later that karunanidhi, then unknown, used to spend the entire day with him at his residence and work on the script, writing the dialogue for abhimanyu. he received a nominal three - digit salary per month during that period though his contribution was immense .) even a cursory study of the dialogue will reveal that the man behind the powerful, alliterative lines was mu. ka .
the famed ‘maya bazaar’ episode was woven into the film with pulimoottai ramasami playing ghatotkacha. another excellent feature was the fascinating cinematography by noted lensman w. r. subba rao, who was well known for his trick photography .

preetam choudhury’s production design is mind - blowing and realistic. jeet’s music ably complemented with gautam - susmit’s lyrics blend into the theme and story of the film very well. premendra bikash chaki’s cinematography is brilliant in the second half but not so good in the first. this is a good debut where the footage is too long and the dream scenes stick out like sore thumbs. raj has also made priyanka prance around in a towel but it does not look vulgar. a good debut by a young director. one only hopes he can sustain the standard he has established with his first film. the film deserves one star for production design, one star for acting and one for the cinematography .
the shree venkatesh film releasing in august has more than a few points of confluence with the tragic tale of love that played itself out in calcutta last september, but the 33 - year - old filmmaker is wary of courting controversy .
“it’s not a controversial film and we are not cashing in on the rizwanur - priyanka tragedy, ” raj is quick to clarify. “there are many such incidents all over the world but the rizwanur - priyanka tragedy has been highlighted and blown out of proportion. ”
in this part, i’ll focus on the period between 1947 and 1949, when mgr had to play supporting roles and wait for his ‘big break’ as the tamil hero. india received its independence on august 15, 1947. as it often happens in the movie industry, ill luck or ‘bad breaks’ of other rival heroes (especially p. u. chinnappa and ranjan) at pertinent times in combination with change in popular taste did propel mgr’s fortune. ranjan’s move to bombay to accept offers in hindi movies in 1948 and chinnappa’s premature death in 1951 at the age of 35, opened up a void which mgr was able to capture and keep for almost quarter of a century as an action star. below i also provide a comparison of mgr’s film career with that of john wayne, hollywood’s greatest action hero .
in addition to this, hindi films like roti (1942), sher - e - baghdad (1946), anmol ghadi (1946), atom bomb (1947), stunt queen (1947), pugree (1948), sant namdev (1949), apna desh (1949), sant namdev (1949), veer ghatoktach (1949), deedar (1951), alam ara (1956), dilli ka thug (1958), phagun (1958), manzil (1960), razia sultana (1961) etc .
ivan jandl (january 24, 1937 – november 21, 1987) was an academy award - winning czech child actor. < p > jandl appeared in the 1948 film the search as a nine year old czech boy who had survived auschwitz and was searching for his mother in post - war germany. filmed on location, the performance of jandl as a boy rendered mute by his experiences struck a chord with cinema goers and critics alike. he was awarded an academy juvenile award for his work, but was not permitted to travel to the usa to accept it. he appeared in some czech films in 1949 and 1950 and then left acting to continue his studies. he tried unsuccessfully to continue his acting career in his late teens, and eventually found work in radio. < p > he died from complications of diabetes .
summary: raj kapoor said he would never forget this film, his directorial debut, ‘because it was the story of youth consumed by the desire for a brighter and more intense life. and all those who flitted like shadows through my own life, giving something, taking something, were in that film. ’ the hero is kewal (kapoor), a country boy disfigured by a self - inflicted scar on his face who dreams of running a theatre. he is cast out by his father and eventually builds his own theatre where nimmi (nargis) becomes a star. shashi kapoor plays the part of raj kapoor as a young boy. announcing the baroque imagery of barsaat (1949) and awara (1951), kapoor fills his film with shadows evoking the influence of the osten / wirsching brand of chiaroscuro .

between 1950 and 1956, sundaram would direct and release three mgr movies under modern theatre’s label. these were, manthiri kumari (1950), sarvathikari (the dictator, 1951) and alibababum narpathu thirudargalum (ali baba and forty thieves, 1956). the last mentioned became the first film shot entirely in color for mgr as well as for the tamil movies .

at the start of his career, he played supporting or villainous characters in films such as purab aur paschim, sachaa jhutha, aan milo sajna, and mastana in 1970, and in mera gaon mera desh, elaan and aan milo sajna in 1971. he got his first break as the solo lead hero in the film hum tum aur woh (...
the film launches two newcomers: rahul and priyanka (!). “we didn’t just take her for her name, ” laughs raj. the plot hangs on pallabi (priyanka), a teenager who feels those first flutters when she meets krishna (rahul), the garage mechanic. they fall in love and take a drastic decision that changes their lives forever .
mgr’s name appears fourth in the credits as ‘m. g. ramachandar’. indeed, he appears in the film only after the kurukshetra war breaks out between the kauravas and the pandavas. handsome narasimha bharathi plays lord krishna with conviction, while vatsala, balaraman’s (m. g. chakrapani) daughter, was played by the then popular heroine u. r. jeevaratnam .
i love this film... i' ve been waiting for your first zinnemann review and i' m very happy you picked
the search .
such a classic, and ivan jandl steals your heart. i wrote a large piece on zinnemann on my site, it has other lesser known pictures that i' d highly recommend. take a look: urltoken
so what is chirodini... all about? “my film is a teenage love story. about a girl of class x - xi whose father and uncle want her to become somebody in life. but she falls head over heels for a para garage mechanic. they both take a decision that leaves her family in a state of shock and triggers a series of incidents, ” says raj .
when salem modern theatres was founded, she joined as an artiste. she made her debut through the modern theatres maiden film sathi ahalya in 1937 at the age of ten. she appeared as a celestial lady from the heaven. she appeared in other films till 1941 when was offered a main role in bhaktha gowri. she was a good singer and the song' theruvil varaandi' was a testimony to her mellifluous voice .
i was doing the zee bangla mega serial khela when rajda (chakraborty) called me and offered me pallabi. i think it’s the perfect launch for me. i play a pampered rich girl whose dad and uncle have underworld connections. i could relate to the role because i am almost her age (17). i consider myself lucky to have bagged such a meaty role. i portray a character with lots of shades in my debut film, which is great .

and, er, what does all that (down to dad and uncle) immediately remind us of? “oh god! ” laughs raj. “see i am not denying that my film is loosely based on the priyanka - rizwanur case. it’s a real story and there are glimpses of the tragedy. but it is also about all those teenagers who make mistakes; who don’t know what to do when they fall in love. it will be a lesson for youngsters to not get carried away, when in love. it will also be a lesson for the older generation. ”
the later day successful filmmaker m. m. a. chinnappa thevar appears in this film without credit, playing more than one role. his brother who directed his films, m. a. thirumugam, worked in the movie as an assistant editor on the staff of jupiter pictures, which then had the central studios on lease in coimbatore. well known character actors of the day played supporting roles — d. balasubramaniam (duryodhana), s. v. subbaiah (sakuni), m. r. santhanam (indra in disguise as a brahmin), m. r. santhanalakshmi (subhadra) and m. s. s. bhagyam (in the ‘maya bazaar’ episode .
according to the urltoken comments that the script begins to falter after the diabolic uncle takes the couple away, but till then it is smooth - sailing. priyanka and rahul offer the freshness bengali cinema was dying to get for many years. they are young, absolutely new and have tried to do as much justice to the script as they could though the script backs priyanka more than rahul. the original touch is that the film opens with the couple’s elopement after top - angle shots of the city of kolkata panning across to cover people going about their daily lives including a madman who roams aimlessly across the streets. the love affair in the first half is a bit repetitive and the scenes in the girl’s home are superfluous .
she married t. s. venkataswami who was the manager of central studios. after her marriage she said bid adieu to the films but she was active in stage dramas. the couple had four daughters and one son, four granddaughters and two grandsons. her husband died on 7 april 1971. jeevarathnam died on 26 july 2000 when she was living at mandaveli, chennai. her body was cremated at her native place unjalur. the entire film industry paid its last respects to this veteran artiste. her son vetrivel and his wife jothi paappammaa have planned to publish a book on jeevarathinam’s biography. jeevarathinam’s family happily recalls the marriage of vetrivel which was attended by the then chief minister mgr and v. n. janaki. mgr handed over the sacred thaali to vetrivel and blessed the couple .

krishna (rahul banerjee) is a diligent scooter mechanic in siliguri and life goes on smoothly for the young man till the rich schoolgirl pallavi (priyanka sarkar) sets her eyes on him. the infatuation reaches dangerous levels when she coaxes krishna to take her away from the clutches of her family, which has other plans about her future. the tone is set right from the start as instead of beginning with the two young lovers meeting, falling in love and then eloping, the film begins with the elopement, as pallavi steps out of her house in her school uniform, leaving behind even her wrist watch behind since krishna has instructed her not to take a single thing with her. the two rush into a shopping mall where pallavi hurriedly changes into a young boy’s shirt, pants and cap, leaves her uniform behind and the two board the bus .
do i even need to say that it was a dream debut for me? playing krishna is a once - in - a - lifetime opportunity. but i had to work very hard. though i play the hero, i have done nothing heroic. i mean i didn’t get to beat up five baddies, didn’t wear good clothes, didn’t look good, didn’t sing and dance around trees. on the contrary i had to grow my hair and keep it uncombed, wear a torn shirt that had grease and petrol stains teamed with a cheap rubber chappal and a dirty bearded look. there’s only one dream sequence where i wear proper clothes. plus, rajda made me switch from cigarettes to bidi and sleep on the floor in my hotel room. at times i used to feel very angry, but after watching the film i felt all that is worth it .
last few months had seen the deaths of quite a few tamil movie personalities who were involved with mgr during his film career. the obituary list includes actoresses rajasulochana and manjula, playback singer t. m. soundararajan, lyricist vaali, and music director t. k. ramamoorthy of the viswanathan - ramamoorthy duo. among these, lyricist vaali (born as s. rangarajan in 1931) had recorded ample anecdotes in his 1995 autobiography ‘naanum intha noorandum’ (this century and me) about his interaction with patron mgr. those still living among the actors’ clan who had worked with mgr during 1950s includes fellow actor - politician s. s. rajendran, heroines anjali devi, m. n. rajam, and the then ‘new face’ b. saroja devi as well as comedian manorama. not to be forgotten, among mgr’s acquaintances of late 1940s, was the then jupiter’s ‘office boy’ named m. s. viswanathan, who later blossomed into music director .
in my view, many of the hagiographic short biographies on mgr published in tamil suffer from lack of comparison of mgr’s movie career to any of his contemporaries in other movie industries, either within india or beyond india. this partly reflects the ignorance of mgr biographers to simultaneous development in other cinematic and political cultures. so that, this deficiency has to be rectified, i have made an attempt to compare the movie career of mgr with that of one hollywood hero, whose claim to fame can be matched appropriately. the hollywood hero of my choice was none other than john wayne (born marion mitchell morrison, 1907 - 1979). i provide a pdf table comparing the careers of mgr and john wayne. in it, i have identified 17 criteria from birth to death which perfectly match the careers of tamil nadu and hollywood icons of cinema. about career comparison of mgr and other movie stars in publications in english by other film critics, i’ll elaborate in the next part .
ssr became a ranking hero in 1956, with the movie kula deivam (family god, 1956), which also featured his actress wife c. r. vijayakumari. he held this rank until 1970. since 1956, mgr, sivaji ganesan and gemini ganesan came to be recognized as the ‘triumvirates of tamil cinema heroes’. due to his distinct, polished delivery of tamil dialogues, film journalists frequently elevated ssr with these three, and included him as ‘tamil hero quadruplets’. he was also tagged with the moniker ‘ilatchiya nadigar’. the word ‘ilatchiyam’ has multiple meanings in tamil; emblem, symbol, objective are few of them. as he identified with the dravidian party principles and avoided handling movie plots with mythological and religious themes, ssr thus came to be known as ‘emblematic actor’. eventually, ssr lost his leading rank, due to the influx of younger heroes in the 1960s, such as muthuraman, jai shankar, ravichandran, a. v. m. rajan and sivakumar. curiously, the last two received their name recognition after playing secondary roles to ssr, in his movies .

the music was a plus point (s. m. subbaiah, c. r. subbaraman, lyrics: papanasam sivan, bhoomi palakadas, sundaravathiyar). ‘pudhu vasanthamaamey vaazhviley…’ (voices: jeevaratnam and tiruchi loganathan) became a hit. (this song was actually composed by a lad who was working as an office boy under subbaraman. for obvious reasons, his name never appeared in the credits. that youngster later created history in indian cinema as m. s. viswanathan! )
the dances were choreographed by t. c. thangaraj, k. r. kumar and the later day successful filmmaker vedantam raghavaiah .
book: nan vantha pathai [ the path i trod ], by s. s. rajendran, akani veliyeedu, vandavasi, sept 2014, 392 pp, indian rupees 500 .
sedapatti suryanarayana thevar rajendran (affectionately known as ssr by tamilians) was a founder member of dmk party and contributed to its growth for the first 20 years, until its founder leader anna’s death. he also had the rare distinction of contesting the first two general elections (1957 and 1962), while he was a cinema hero, for the then madras legislative assembly in which dmk participated. ssr was unsuccessful in his first try in 1957, but he gained prominence in his second try after being elected to the theni constituency on behalf of dmk. in this sense, ssr was a pioneer among cinema actors, in setting the trend of actors entering politics. in tamil nadu, among his contemporary actors, mgr contested for the first time in 1967 and sivaji ganesan and jayalalitha contested for the first time in 1989. ssr’s autobiography nan vandtha pathai (the path i trod), appeared a month before his death in oct. 24, 2014, at the age of 86. he was born on january 1, 1928 .
as ssr had a special track record in the history of tamil nadu politics, stage drama and movies for half a century, since 1940, one would expect his autobiography to glitter with episodes of his numerous contacts and experiences. sadly, the published version is a disappointment. the front note provided by the publishers tells why this happened. for nearly a decade, ssr had written in his own hands about 600 ‘items’ for his autobiography. but almost half of them got ‘lost’, after they were grabbed by curiosity - seeking friends and journalists. similarly, a collection of his rare photos of old events were not returned to him. then, the publisher had forcefully taken the remaining hand - written 305 ‘items’ from ssr, and only after taking xerox copy, returned the originals to him. as some individuals mentioned in the handwritten script are still living, quite a chunk were omitted from the published version with ssr’s consent, for multiple reasons. thus, what remains is a hodge - podge of anecdotes, loosely arranged chronologically. the book doesn’t contain chapters. rather, the 305 ‘items’ are numbered consecutively. as appendix, the titles of 79 tamil movies and their year of release, in which ssr acted are presented .
notable omissions in the book include, ssr’s relationship with his second wife actress c. r. vijayakumari. for ten years, between 1956 and 1966, ssr – vijayakumari pair were an item in tamil movies. vijayakumari made her debut in tamil movies in the movie mangalyam (1954) as s. mohana. in the next movie, mullaivanam (1955), she came to be known as vijayakumari. ssr and vijayakumari acted together in about 28 movies; some of these were big hits. their relationship soured in due course, and as such, not a sentence appears about vijayakumari in the text. it is a pity that the book has been poorly edited. item 72 (page 84) let us know that ssr married young in december 1946, at the age of 18. his first wife was pankajam, who was a fellow actress in his drama troupe. four sons and one daughter were the products of this marriage. then, item 85 (page 97) informs the reader that ssr married thamarai selvi, around 1971, when his health condition worsened. the relationship between ssr and vijayakumari flourished for ten years or so between 1956 and 1966 .
ssr visited ceylon in 1966, on the invitation of a muslim cultural association. they had wanted ssr to bring his drama troupe to ceylon. as the expenses to take the drama troupe of almost 30 individuals to the island was costly, ssr had offered an alternative of bringing a musical troupe of villu pattu (bow song), with him as a lead singer. with six performers and four helpers, ssr toured ceylon. this visit is covered in the book in about 30 pages, with quite a few photos, taken with the then prominent politicians, such as federal party leader s. j. v. chelvanayakam, m. tiruchelvam (then a cabinet minister in dudley senanayake government) and cabinet minister v. a. sugathadasa .
the most interesting information offered by ssr in this book was that, the current dmk party leader karunanidhi and his nephew murasoli maran (1934 - 2003) wanted to quit the party, in a tiff with anna (items 217 and 218, pp. 267 - 271). in item 217, ssr had reproduced the material which first appeared in his brother in law d. v. narayanaswamy’s 80 th birthday felicitation souvenir. for its historical relevance and humor, i provide an english translation of item 217 below .
“one night in 1964, while i was relaxing in the garden outside, i was wondering why my brother in law, haven’t returned from shooting. it was my habit to greet him, even in the odd hours of night, when he returns ‘why raji? so late? ’ and go to sleep. i heard car sound. kalaignar (karunanidhi) and maran. ‘come! come! sit down! ’ i greeted them, and inquired the caretaker, ‘why ssr haven’t returned? . then, i asked kalaignar, ‘why? at this time? ’ before i stopped, kalaignar started crying. getting upset, i asked him, ‘what happened? why you are crying? be calm! ’ ‘will you let me know, what happened? ’ then, he sobbed, ‘anna had scolded me’, then he cried .
anna wouldn’t scold anyone like that. i asked, ‘what did he say? ’ he replied, ‘there are merits for the party by you. bigger than that, there are demerits too’ and scolded. ‘so, i’m resigning. this i wanted to inform ssr. that’s why we are here’ said kalaignar. somehow, i calmed him by mentioning, ‘everything will be ok. for such a thing, you shouldn’t talk about resigning from the party’
maran, who was silent until then, talked and argued: ‘no way, brother. we cannot be together with anna. ’ i was a bit rude and forcefully told him, ‘thambi, you are a small boy. you haven’t matured at all. let us speak’. however, maran was murmuring repeatedly. at that time, what karunanidhi said emotionally, i don’t want to mention here .
after a while, ssr also had returned. it was around 1 am. kalaignar cried, while holding his hands. i told him, what had happened. then ssr was so upset and he asked, ‘what? are you going to resign from kazhagam? then, what are you going to do? ’
maran told ssr, ‘nothing brother. we can live by script writing alone. please leave us. ’
ssr told maran, ‘thamby! you are a small boy. you don’t have talent to speak in public meetings. you don’t have experience in kazhagam, like us. money may come. how much i have cared to protect kazhagam, leaving my cinema job – do you know? in between, please don’t talk. ’ then, he took kalaignar away separately and talked with him .
then ssr said, ‘please don’t talk about this to others. let us talk tomorrow. tomorrow morning we go to meet anna, and until then you shouldn’t talk. don’t take any decision now, and go to bed’ and let them return .
after the growth of dmk, some individuals had formed ‘groups’ to promote themselves, and kalaignar was also infected by this syndrome. ”
in item 218, ssr mentions that he and his brother in law d. v. narayanasamy went to meet anna and regurgitated the previous night’s events. anna had asked, ‘how is your friend karunanidhi? ’ to this, he replied, ‘we have come here, to talk about him now…’ then, the very next day itself, anna scribed a thoughtful letter praising thamby karunanidhi’s contribution to the party. at that time, karunanidhi was functioning as the treasurer of the party. then, kalaignar visited ssr’s house to thank him, saying, “somehow, you had pleaded my case to anna, and allowed me to stay in kazhagam. i’ll never forget this. ”
to check the authenticity of this occurrence, i checked karunanidhi’s autobiography nenjunku neethi (1975), volume 1. in it, 11 chapters, pages 498 to 544, describe the events of 1964. nothing is mentioned about his conflict with anna and decision to quit dmk party! that tells something about karunanidhi’s excellent script - writing skills. nevertheless, karunanidhi had titled his chapter 53, ‘even anna would get angry’. superficially (without mentioning any specifics), he had written, “occasionally anna had got angry with me. due to that anger, he had not spoken with me promptly for weeks, or even months. ” thus, one should give the benefit of doubt to ssr’s recollections .
in sum, my evaluation of this autobiography by a renowned tamil actor - politician, is like watching a typical ssr movie; something good, something bad, and something missing. with proper attention to details, it could have become a great book to cherish .
thanks dr. sachi for this interesting review of ssr’s autobiography. it is sad that may of his original writings were lost. atleast the section on karunanidhi’s deception is made available! another evidence that the entire career of karunanidhi is built on betrayal and deception .
