For new generation, this will be a news.

I bought Gurudatchanai in Moser Bear 3 in 1 last year but watched only Dr. Siva and Irumalargal . But inspired by other veterans like Ragavenderan, Vasudevan , Pammalar and others, I intended to watch lesser known movies of NT
Gurudatchanai is not exactly well-known among NT’s films. This, despite It releasing just after Thillana Mohanambal with same tteam like AP Nagarajan as director, Padmini , , Balaiyah, Sarangabani (the old actor, TR Ramachandran, Manorama, Balaji, Thangavelu ,Senthamarai, Major Sudararajan, Ramaprabha, MN Nambiyar etc.
KV Mahadevan as composer and co-stars like Jayalalitha, (Padmini and JJ in one film), and character actors like
In my opinion, this is a very beautiful film. NT plays a Muradan illiterate, whose attributes are recognised and appreciated by very few. His rough approach is frown upon by what is made up of mostly ungrateful villagers.Manorama, Thangavelu, Sarangabani are NT friends from different religion living in harmony- Unity in Diversity, friends of NT
NT saves JJ in a fight and as usual JJ starts loving NT which irks many especially Ramaprabha, TR Ramachandran who are NT relatives & detractors. JJ is chased out by her dad. Senthamarai. NT finds her in his own house one day, and is not able to send her off. Though under his roof, he behaves like a gentleman.
Then, one day, a teacher comes to the village ( Padmini), along with her father (Major). NT helps them and falls in the good books of Major & Padmini.
Ramaprabha is also a school teacher, though teacher by profession both Padmini & Ramaprabha are contrasting personalities
NT later sees the value of education and after a series of incident manages to convince Padmini to teach him to read and write. Of course, the villagers helmed by Ramaprabha, TR Ramachandran, MN Nambiyar cooks stories about NT & Padmini having a affair whereas it is only a Student teacher relationship.
Balaji is the fiancée for Padmini, Sahasranamam is education officer who is also a future father in law for Padmini.
What next must be watched in silver screen
NT's performance is flawless. His yearning for education looks and feels real.He dons only single costume of a baniyan , Veshti and a belt . He resembles a typical villager. The scenes where he helps Padmini are so real. He even falls at her feet when she offers to teach him ( No other hero would do it). Character , Devotion to work in a single word is the answer. Padmini is beautiful and perfect as a virtuous teacher. Jayalalitha is cute and unlike what you expect, plays rather and understanding lover, though her role is extended appearance. The rest of the cast including Thangavelu as Bai showing bioscope is my favorite .
It was nice of AP Nagarajan to make a deviation from his usual Mythological film
Don’t know the reason of this great movie not getting required success
Murali Sir,
Your trip down memory lane about Thyagam was superb. If Iam not wrong you have already posted about NT role in politics in previous thread, also about Annan oru Kovil
Your articles are nice keep it up sir

In my opinion, the main reasons for the debacle of this movie is screenplay and too many movies in one year. In fact six of NT Movies were released in 1969 in the first 8 months, competing with one another.

Even though I cannot match you in terms of flow and statistics, I attempted and is trying to attempt this series differently, from my angle. I concentrate only on NT's acting and touches/nuances.
Your write-up on "Thyagam release events" as usual, had its passion of "Murali" stamped! Great. It's not only about the passion but also the enthusiasm and ownership when it comes to sharing of NT and his films that makes it more interesting.
Thanks once again.
