A letter from YGEEM to Malathi of HINDU after seeing yesteryear classic movie RAJAPART RANGADURAI
Dear Ms Malathi
We missed u very much at "RAJAPART RANGADURAI" yesterday. This picture tho' a success in 1973 didnt leave much of an impression in those days--bcos SIVAJI was coming out with more phenomenal hits. Yesterday I realised how much we had underestimated this pcture.
The screenplay was so smooth, the atmosphere of the "Spl Nadagam" maintained so well, performances uniformly good and the highlight was the stunningly underplayed performance of SIVAJI. His body language ( a term that every Tom, Dick and Harry of an actor uses these days) was so typical of the professional drama artiste of those days- (Naturally so since he was part of that clan.himself ) While his portrayal of Rangadurai the man was so natural, as Rangadurai the actor he gave the correct melodramatic feel in the scenes where he donned a variety of special Nadagam roles. AND BELIEVE ME ANY SORT OF GETUP SUITS THIS AMAZING ACTOR. The gait, the exaggerated hand gestures, the lift of the eyebrows were all so typical.of a drama actor of yore. Forgetting the fact that I am a confirmed Sivaji Rasigan I tell u this man was God's gift to the acting fraternity in India,
Three scenes stand out as examples of classic subtle acting--
1) the scene where he just gives a pathetic but accusing look at the groom who cheats his sister-no dialogues at all !
2) his controlled,and subdued emotional outburst at the groom in front of his sister's funeral pyre and
3) the best where his brother wants him to act like a rich brother in front of his father in law---the pathos in his voice when he asks Srikanth "Yen Thambi Ennai Un Annan Mathiri Nadikkava Solre", just leaves u gasping.
This is subtelty at its best not to be confused with present day actors and directors who call non-acting as subtle acting--wooden faces with no modulation and the same monotonous sing song tone mouthing such "profound" dialogues like "Yen" "Ethukku" "Eppadi" in instalments. I do agree change is the order of the day but that will never make the Petronas Tower Bulding a better architectural creation than the TaJ Mahal. SIVAJI IS THAT TAJ MAHAL OF ACTING--A CREATION OF GOD THAT WILL BE ADMIRED FOREVER AND EVER--AN ACTOR FOR ALL SEASONS AND ALL THE RIGHT REASONS !!
And what a part the trio of MSV, KANNADASAN and TMS played to embellish the film. Melody, Lyrics and Singing at its very best!! What has this country done for these three by way of recognition ?--NOTHING..And here's the best -SIVAJI was never given the NATIONAL AWARD for acting in his lifetime. (OF course looking at the list of those who have got it in the recent past--thank God he didnt get it !!) Compromises apart this country has not honored him the way it should have and FOR THAT ALONE I AM ASHAMED TO BE AN INDIAN.
Sorry but I just felt like sharing this outburst with someone who has respect for real talent and values. IF BY CHANCE THE FRIDAY REVIEW HAS A "LETTER TO THE EDITOR" COLUMN I WOULD BE GRATIFIED IF THEY COULD PUBLISH THIS
Thank U and Regards

Dear friends,
05.06.2011, Chennai Shanti, again became festive and fans restive. Those who assemble at NT's films screening at theatres, can't escape from being got emoted, which was proved once again yesterday. Rajapart Rangadurai took every one of us with him into nostalgia. For those of us who witnessed during the first release, it was a re-enactment of the festivities, in fact even better than the first release celebrations. As Pammalar has substantiated this fact with his images (hope me too share some images shortly), no body was exception including the elite such as YGM and his family, Mohan Raman Sir, Krishnan Sir and so on. In fact YGeeM has been impressed so much that he has addressed a letter under copy to me, the gist of which, I am producing below.
Thank you, YGeeM Sir,Quote:

சென்னை சாந்தியில் 05.06.2011 ஞாயிறு மாலைக் கொண்டாட்டக் காட்சிகளின் சில படங்கள்
அலங்காரம் கலையாத மலர் மாலை இங்கே - அணிவிக்க அழைக்கின்றோம் அண்ணனை - எங்கே
என்று கூறாமல் கூறும் மாலைகள் தயாராக...

எங்கே நீயோ நானும் அங்கே உன்னோடு என்று அண்ணன் பதிலளித்து நம்முள் வாழ்கிறார் என்று கூறாமல் கூறும் அன்பு உள்ளங்கள் மாலைகளை அணிவிக்க அணிவகுத்து நிற்கும் காட்சி

மதன மாளிகையில் மந்திர மாலைகளாம் - உதய காலம் வரை உத்தமர் சேவைகளாம் என்று ரசிகர்கள் அரங்கினுள் ஆர்ப்பரிக்கும் காட்சிகள்

அம்மம்மா தம்பி என்று நம்பி அவர் நம்மை வளர்த்தார். தாயென்றும் தந்தையென்றும் அவர் நம்மை வளர்த்தார். அவர் நமக்காக வாழ்கின்ற உள்ளம் அல்லவோ என்று ரசிகர்கள் உள்ளம் உருகி உணர்ச்சிப் பெருக்குடன் ஆர்ப்பரிக்கும் காட்சி

பாரதமே என்னருமை தாயகமே என்று இறுதி வரை வாழ்ந்து காட்டிய தேசிய திலகம், விடுதலை வீரர்களை நமக்கு அறிமுகப்படுத்தும் போது நாமும் தேசீய உணர்வுடன் அல்லவா பொங்கி எழுகிறோம்.
