MGR film songs are always popular

[Oldposts]

MGR is just an actor. His songs were great and he is the one (my guess) who introduced heroism in tamil cinema. As always, TN people were innocent and he exploited this character. People were crazy for MGR and they even gave their life for him.

Dear friends

Just to add a message. While taking the picture Nadodi Mannan, he spent all his earnings for that picture. While shooting one of his friend pointed out his heavy expenditure. MGR replied
" Padam odinal nan mannan odavittal nadodi"

Every body knows the result.

That posting from Raman echoes my thoughts in more or less same words. It is a coincidence reading it as if I had written it. The point is: The days when food was eaten to survive or controlled to focus on spiritual pursuits and procreation was for having children was simpler, today food is plenty, the act of intimacy is now gaining mainstream acceptance as a sport and may soon feature in the Olympics as PorNgy. That was a different time, likes of MGR was fortunately born for the poor folks. If MGR were born today, it is possible he would be a porn star ;---) Food is plenty, your bathroom is a gym and pool, women have proven they have 6 times for physical needs, they are no more exploited except in some caves in some countries, women are exploting now, various religions re exploiting weak peoples for monetary contribution to settle vagrant behavior of priests, so the world is gaining a lot of flesh, no spirit.... we've to wait n see where it is headed.

However, there is hope ;---) U make music as a good pursuit and mentally strong people for friends, culture and traditions will be preserved for the future. The need for everyone appreciating magical phenomenon like film songs, IR, MSV etc.. cannot be undermined anymore.

Good music, creative, light, carnatic and devotional could become the ideal perhaps the chief unprejudiced and open way to spiritual growth and restrained behaviour for all people' of the world. After all, the reality is eventually an illusion considering the weak characters of the earth involved, but the illusion of music can help us journey trouble free in that harmful reality.

There is also bad music, pretentious music, aggressive music and too grand a music, all of which result in delusions of the mind.

Dear Friends,

I used to be a fan of MGR and now too. I am in the early 40s living outside India.

I believe that movies of MGR, as a matter of fact any old movies of the 50s, 60s, 70s had considerable flavour of moral.

Every time I revisit an MGR movie, though some of the scenes are a bit silly in today's context, overall I find the dialogues, songs, themes etc are (still) much more refreshing, especially when we are living in this materialistic and a fast moving world.

After life struggle, people look towards GEETHA, RAMAYANAM or MAHABHARATHAM for wisdom. Nothing wrong with those epics.

But the simplicity with which similar morals are told in MGRs movies/songs are amazing, if one listens to them very carefully.

It is amazing to see that even a very casual dialogue carried some moral or the other, in his movies/songs.

So may people talked both good and bad about MGR.

Somehow, I have been under the impression that his basic qualities originated from his life experiences towards hardship and the poor.

Whatever he has or might have done, he might have done to look after his interest to maintain his image in order to serve the poor.

This is my instinct says.

There is no true or false, unless someone was really close to MGR and experienced all the events that are talked about.

I really appreciate all of your effort to bring back the memories of our lives by discussing about MGRs songs and the success or otherwise.

Please keep up with the great work.

I will also post whatever I know about MGR and his films.

Last night[in USA] as i was watching the Asia Cup match, I was flip-flopping to Sun TV and had the fortune of viewing some of the old MGR gems under 'Kannadasanin thaththuvap paadalkal'. It was mesmerizing and i even went a few overs go by unwatched for seeing and listening to those songs!
"oruvan manadhu onbadhadaa'
"maaraadhaiyyaa, maaraadhu"
"moonrezhuththil yen moochchirukkum"
and so on.
It is so true that MGR&Sivaji's songs are still and will be 'evergreen' and with that glorious combination of Kannadaasan&vaali[60'&70's vaali] it was a treat.
Thanks.
