watched back to back "Vikramathithan" and "MahaDevi"...
it's hard to see someone other than MGR in those charecters....Vikramathithan was more light heatred than Mahadevi....kannadesan dialogues in mahadevi is top notch....
MGR is so ease in Chaste tamil... It's a nostaligia for watching MGR movies now.....Plan to continue more this weekend...
In mahadevi, THough MGR is the hero... other three chrecters including Savithri, Veerapa and Jamuna....has equal footage.... Especially P S veerappa with his dialogue...
"mananthaal mahadevi ellaiyel maranadevi"....with his body language and flashing light on his face.....above all watching bladk and white movie give completely different viewing experience.
it's sad we all forgot directors like Sundar Rao Nadkarni
there was an article about the movie mahadevi in The hindu.... it's interesting...
