இதில் கூண்டுக்கிளி சுமாரான வெற்றி அடைந்தது ஆனால் தூக்கு தூக்கி மகத்தான வெற்றியை தழுவியது
2. தங்கபதுமை - என் பதிவுகளை பாருங்கள்
3. எங்க மாமா - 100 நாட்களை கடக்க வில்லை ஆனால் வசூலில் புரட்ச்சியை ஏற்படுத்தியது - 85 நாட்கள் ஓடியது
4. சுமதி என் சுந்தரி - இதுவும் ஒரு வெற்றி படமே - 80 நாட்கள் ஓடியது
நீங்கள் சொன்ன படங்கள் SJ யை தொடாதது ஏமாற்றமே - போதிய இடைவெளியில் வந்திருந்தால் , 300 படங்களும் - ஒவ்வன்றாக 300 நாட்களுக்கு மேலாக ஓடியிருக்கும் - NT க்கு film planning இல் நம்பிக்கை இல்லை - எல்லோரும் நன்றாக இருக்கவேண்டும் , வாழ வேண்டும் என்று நினைப்பவன் தனது வெற்றி,தோல்விகளை பற்றி கவலை பட மாட்டான் என்பதற்கு NT ஒரு நல்ல உதாரணம்
உங்களுக்கு தெரியுமா - சத்தியம் இங்கு சரியாக ஓடவில்லை ஆனால் ஸ்ரீலங்காவில் 100 நாட்களுக்கும் மேலாக ஓடியது --

Blast from the past: Thanga Pathumai (1959)

Thanga Pathumai
cinema
Tamil cinema
Sivaji Ganesan, Padmini, T. R. Rajakumari, M. N. Nambiar, M. N. Rajam, E. V. Saroja, N. S. Krishnan, R. Balasubramaniam, ‘Kuladeivam' Rajagopal and T. P. Muthulakshmi
One of the noteworthy films of 1959, which was also a box-office hit, was Thanga Pathumai, a Jupiter Pictures production. Directed by A. S. A. Sami, it has an interesting back story.
Jupiter Pictures entered the big league in 1942 with the phenomenal success of Kannagi, in which P. Kannamba created history with her scintillating performance in the title role. P. U. Chinnappa lent excellent support playing Kovalan.
During the late 1950s, Jupiter Somu thought of remaking Kannagi with Sivaji Ganesan as Kovalan. He projected the 1942 version to his intimate friend and mentor C. N. Annadurai who watched it along with Sami, who was to direct the second version. Annadurai rightly told them that remaking the film would not prove successful as much water had flowed under the Tamil Cinema bridge since 1942. The project was dropped but Somu carried in his mind the idea of making something similar about a woman, who is chastity personified fighting a relentless battle to win her husband back… the movie was Thanga Pathumai.
A writer who was popular during that period was Mika Waltari. He wrote ‘The Egyptian', a bestseller. The Hollywood movie mogul Darryl F. Zanuck, boss of 20th Century Fox, bought the novel and had it scripted by the well-known screenwriters of the day, Philip Dunne and Casey Robinson. He engaged Michael Curtiz (maker of the immortal classic Casablanca) to direct the film and Leon Shamroy to shoot it. Edmond Purdon was brought in to play the lead and the others in the cast included brilliant star and actor Peter Ustinov, Victor Mature, Gene Tierney, Jean Simmons and the famous character actor John Carradine. Set in ancient Egypt, the Hollywood film was about an abandoned baby who was brought up to become the physician of the Pharaoh of Egypt. The Hollywood movie was a success in India, and Sami, a keen student of literature and Western Cinema, engaged well known Tamil writer of the day Aru Ramanathan to do the screenplay and dialogue.
(Ramanathan was well known as the editor of a monthly magazine named Kaathal which created a sensation in those conservative days!)
In the Tamil movie, Sivaji Ganesan plays the younger physician to the king (R. Balasubramaniam) and his wife (Padmini) was modelled on Kannagi as the personification of female virtues. The physician is commanded to the palace to treat the king where the princess (M. N. Rajam) falls for him and virtually enslaves him, preventing him from going back to his wife. She even goes to the extent of blinding the hero and in a long drawn out song-oriented climax, the wife prays before the gold statue of Parvathi, hence the title, and gets back her husband's sight and happiness.
Running to well over three hours (18,449 feet), the film was interestingly narrated onscreen with excellent dialogue and music (Viswanathan-Ramamurthy, lyrics Udumalai Narayana Kavi, Pattukottai Kalyanasundaram, Kannadasan, Marudhakasi).
A. S. A. Sami told this writer years later about Padmini's devotion to work. During breaks for lunch and ‘tiffin', she would walk up and down the shooting floor with the script in her hand studying the dialogue over and over and delivering it, giving it different shades of meaning. Sivaji was, of course, his usual excellent self. Rajam was impressive in a difficult role. The film also had T. R. Rajakumari, Nambiar, E. V. Saroja, T. P. Muthulakshmi and ‘Kuladeivam' Rajagopal.
The film had picturesque sets by T. V. S. Sama. Thanga Pathumai proved to be a hit in its re-release, and is one of the classics of Tamil Cinema.
Remembered for Padmini's and Sivaji Ganesan's performance, and the classic song ‘Koduthavaney'.

Thookku Thookki was a popular folk tale and stage play. It was brought to the screen in 1935 by the famous Madurai-based Rayal Talkie Distributors with the movie pioneer R. Prakash directing it and handling the camera.
Noted star of that era C.V.V. Panthulu played the title role with K. T. Rukmini in the female lead. K. N. Kamalam and ‘Clown' Sundaram formed part of the cast. R. M. Krishnaswami (RMK), a young, talented camera assistant, was working with Prakash. This film was embedded in his mind. He turned producer in the 1950s with his Aruna Films and made his directorial debut with Rajambal. He took up Thookku Thookki as his next production, which turned out to be the biggest success of his career.
The tale was all about five maxims — 1. A father cares only for the riches earned by his son; 2. Only a mother stands by the son through thick and thin; 3. A sister values her brother only for the gifts he brings her; 4. A wife should never be relied on for she will even murder her husband; and 5. A friend in need is always a friend indeed. A prince (Sivaji Ganesan) listens to the maxims in a religious discourse and sets out to prove them wrong. He undergoes several adventures and finds more than a grain of truth in the maxims.
Sivaji as the hero came up with a fine performance, while T.S. Balaiah in the role of a North Indian Seth was superb. The scenes featuring Balaiah speaking Sowcarpet Tamil with his mistress (Lalitha, the hero's wife) were great.
What elevated this film to great success was its scintillating music composed by G. Ramanathan. The lyrics were by A. Marudhakasi, Thanjai Ramaiah Das and Udumalai Narayana Kavi.
An interesting back story about the song composing… Udumalai Narayana Kavi based in Coimbatore reached Madras by the Blue Mountain Express on the morning of the day scheduled for the song composing and recording. He was to leave by the same train from Central Station around eight in the night. In less than 12 hours, Narayana Kavi wrote five of the eight songs, which were composed immediately by G. Ramanathan, rehearsed by T. M. Soundararajan and others. An amazing feat of creativity, it vouches for the musical genius of G. Ramanathan, the poetic talent of Narayana Kavi and the captivating singing of TMS.
Many of the songs rendered by Soundararajan became popular and it was this film that laid the foundation for his glorious career. Female singers M. L. Vasanthakumari, M. S. Rajeswari, P. Leela and A. P. Komala also contributed to the richness of the music. Noted singer and actor V. N. Sundaram lent his voice to one of the songs along with TMS and others.
Remembered for: the impressive performance of Sivaji Ganesan and the songs rendered by TMS.

படிப்பவர்கள் மனதில் இவ்வளவுதானா NT யின் வெற்றி படங்கள் என்ற தாழ்வான எண்ணம் வந்து விடகூடாது அதனால் தான் SS க்கு விளக்கம் கொடுத்தேன் -
உங்கள் லிஸ்ட் கண்டிப்பாக Update ஆனது அல்ல - 100 நாட்கள் ஓடிய சில படங்கள் அந்த லிஸ்டில் இல்லை - If you have downloaded the list from www.nadigarthilagam.com and posted here then that list does not seem to be an updated one .
We are all friends and fans of NT at the end of the day - we have our own style of describing and glorifying our acting god . There is no fixed or any standardized formula or format in narrating about NT. But I strongly believe in not hurting anyone unnecessarily and provoking them with any wrong /fake information and in the process , try to maintain that my stand is always correct. Let others practice this but certainly not we friends !!
with warm regards
