MAKKAL THILAGAM MGR !!!

Another Puratchi thalaivar movie with terrific songs .

Rich girl Saroja Devi is being chased by many to kill her but Thalaivar is always there to rescue :D

She also joins a circus group midway and the story goes on further . The climax unveils a rather surprise villain ( Villie ) - Kanchana :shock:

This SOTD is a razy fast paced composition from MSV-TKR.

TMS and LRE for MGR and Kanchana I think.

The interludes are innovative and western !

Kalyana naal parka chollalamaa is an extrordinary song which will feature later
Yaaraithaan nambuvadho bethai nenjam is another class song by PS

For the SOTD here you go :

TFML Thalaivaaaaaaaaaaa !!!!!!!

Anbe Vaa :D wholesome entertainer .

Great movie . Superb songs. Puratchi T will be very casual and will look like thoroughly enjoying the acting for the movie.

A nice concept to all industrialists and businessmen to take a break from their hectic life and relax for sometime so that you can come back refreshing !

And thanks to your Video footing of MGR brooklyn treatment shots and the subsequent programme to felicitate the American Doctor.

DID YOU SEE WHAT WAS GIVEN AS A PRESENT TO THE AMERICAN DOCTOR BY AVM SARAVANAN ?? IT WAS ANBE VAA ONLY !!

was watching the movie Thaazhampoo on KTV

:shock: ....amazingly interesting......i thot it will be one bore.....

esp the dialogue to Nambiar where he steals the book which contains "will" secrets.....

Nambiar : nee edhukkaaga inga vandha??

MGR: andha puthhagathayum adhila irukkara panathayum eduthuttu polam-nnu dhaan vandhen

Nambiar: indha puthhagam enakku dhaan sondham

MGR: achiraymana ulagam da idhu....thirudan,thirudina porula thanakku sondham-nnu sollikaran

u shuld look at his elegance,charm,calm when he tells that.....amazing.... :D

The best thing that attract many is : The way he delivers the dialogues ! He won't shout / Yell too much - will put them with his own heroism in a natural way and will mix the philosophical dialogues in a careful manner !

Can u give some special scenes from Parakkum pavai ?

thanks dear

A week end song ofThalaivar from Panam padaithavan.

The interesting aspect of this song is that L.R.Iswari just does the humming part while TMS is the lead singer but so lilting is that humming that one will get tempted to hear again for the humming .

And MSV cleverly uses the humming as a part of the interludes !

A dream song ofcourse

Here you go :

Kanpona pokile kal pogalama is another gem from the same movie !

Happy week end :D

Kannil vandhu minnal is one of MGR's evergreen classics ! Look at the picturisation . So innovative and altogether different those days !!

Suradha wrote the song . I believe MGR liked the words Neela vaanam illadha oorey illai.

Thanks for the link

dank u :D

Deivathai has one spell binding Oru pennai parthu nilavi parthen !

Another different style of rhythm adopted by MSV-TKR for Puratchi Thalaivar movie ! A handsome MGR giving mild dance movements with Saroja Devi who looks absolutely gorgeous & majestic !

Kannai manamaligayil kaaval nirkavaa ?

Ange kaval nindra mannavanai kai pidikavaa !


Athipaza kannathile killi vidavaa ( when TMS sings this, it will look as if TMS himself has killified Saroja Devi )

for which PS says

Indha oorai innum naan azaithu solli vidavaa

Alli vizi thulli viza kobam ennavo ??

Inge anji anji kolluvadhil laabam ennavo ?
For the 2nd charanam, the prelude was a nice improvisation with PS doing a solo humming

The song ends in a nice manner with lala lala lala

I like the sharp usage of piano , guitar and occasional flute also

Puratchi thalaivare , nalla padalgalukkagave ungalai naangal endrendum ninaivil vaithukondirupom :D

Deivath thaai has that wonderful song "மூன்றெழுத்தில் என் மூச்சிருக்கும்"

வாழை மடல் போல பூமி முகம் பார்க்கும்
கோழை முகம் மாற்று தோழா!

நாளை உயிர் போகும் இன்று போனாலும்
கொள்கை நிறைவேற்று தோழா!

அன்பே உன் அன்னை
அறிவே உன் தந்தை
உலகே உன் கோவில்
ஒன்றே உன் தேவன்!

வாலியின் அற்புதமான வரிகள் மக்கள் திலகம் வாயிலிருந்து வரும் போது பிறக்கும் சக்திதே தனி தான்!

[tscii]Ninety years ago, a baby boy was born to a migrant couple, Gopala Menon and Sathyabama, in a ‘line-room’ of a tea estate in Kandy. Later, this baby boy would grow into a leader with the name Maruthur Gopalan Ramachandran (popularly adored by Tamils all over the world with the acronym MGR).

Maruthur was the ancestral village in the Kerala state from where his parents hailed from. Many have ridiculed the uncertainty of his birth date, though MGR had used 17 January 1917 in his personal documents. One should sympathise with MGR on this matter because he was born to an Indian immigrant family in a tea plantation in Ceylon, which was then under British colonial rule. Way back in 1917, the health care facilities available for the plantation workers were atrocious, leave alone the requirements related to birth registration. That he survived into adulthood itself was an achievement.

Though as a two-year old he was taken to Kumbakonam by his mother (who had been widowed after the birth of MGR), the destiny would make it that in his last five years of life, MGR would again have close links with the Tamils in the land of his birth. After landing in Tamil Nadu, MGR would rise in his professional ranks with perseverance, hard work and the smile of Lady Luck. He reached the ‘top’, step by step; 10 years as a vaudeville child actor, 10 years as an apprentice actor with secondary roles in movies, 30 years as an ‘uncrowned king’ in the Tamil movie land and finally 10 years as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.

Having experienced poverty personally during his young days and forfeiting the opportunity to have a formal education, MGR would see to it that at least one song in his movie had some educational value to the average man.

My Letter to Puratchi Talaivar, Makkal Tilagam M.G. Ramachandran.


"Irunthaalum Marainthaalum, peer solla vendum,
Ivar poola yaarendru, uur solla vendum
Ivar poola yaarendru, uur solla vendum."

17th January 2007


My dear puratchi Talaivar,

Wherever you are, today is the day, ninety years ago (or is it?) you were born. You were sent here on a mission. A mission that you, only you, know what. We know some, we have seen some, we have read some, we have listened to some.

But there is more...only you know that.

You were loved, you were respected, and you were despised. More loved than despised. Those despised you had issues, that's all. But they will agree the power you vield over millions of hearts. The power of love.

How many just wasted their life away when they learned that you are no more. Why? What have you done to them? Those flickering images on screen. The seat of power that you sat on. That smile. That graceful wave of hand. The assurance of goodwill. The assurance that all will be alright, for you are here.

And then, you were gone. Blank. Tamil nadu, Tamil film industry has not been the same again, good or bad.

My father is a poor man. He had nothing to hand to us brothers, but the love for cinema. We inherited that plus a little bit of the greatest treasure of his called, "MGR Fanatiscm".

In my teens, I was so absorbed by your films and songs. I am now a bigger fan of your 'brother' Nadigar Tilagam. But the funny thing is, now, after fifteen years, I have difficulty recalling lyrics of NT's songs, but at the snap of the finger, I can recall the lyrics of all my favourite songs of yours.

Why? Then, I was crazy of you. Now, I am intrigued by you. I grab my hand on any literature about you. I learned so much about you. But the more I learn, the more I realise that I don't know who you are.

You are, to us, what you want us to know. You kept the rest of you to yourself. And what we know is the image of one of the greatest person ever to live in this planet. That is all we know. And that is all we need to know.

Sometimes back, I swore never to write in this thread of yours...thanks to some unnecessary arguments. But I take that back. I take it back, because you wouldn't like it. You would want me to learn from others in this thread, and share my own love for the world you created for us with the rest. I shall. I abide by your often spoken rule on 'sharing'.

So, my dear Puratchi Talaivar. Many happy returns of the day. You are not here, but you are there, somewhere, watching us kids with that enigmatic smile of yours.

Happy Birthday.

Your once fan, and now, student,

Rakesh Kumar
Malaysia.

Well picked wordings Joe sir :D

Acham enbadhu madamai adaa .

ORU MATRU KURAIYADHA MANNAVAN IVAR ENDRU POTRI PUGAZA VENDUM :D

MGR once said, I came to this world with an empty hand. I wish to go the same way. True to his words, he lived like that. The entire properties of MGR are all public properties now and all have been donated to charity !

Naalu pergal potravum naadu unnai vaazthavum
manathodu vaazvadhu dhaan suya mariyadhai !

Birthday gift to all MGR fans here :D

Enjoyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :D

Today being Puratchi Thalaivar's birthday, thought of putting some special song & came to my mind, this number :D

The start, the ludes , the picturisation , all terrific ! MGR appearing like a mexican bull fighter & Rajashri playing the other part , all fascinating sight to watch !

MGR's arrival is preceded by trumphet blowing and drum beating followed by nice flow of guitar chords !

A movie which so many many wonderful songs by Mellisai Mannar .

This time, its TMS with L.R.Iswari , both in peak form

MGR , playing double action , one being brought up by villain Nambiar while the other one is brought up by his mother Pandaribhai. The scenes when the senior MGR meets with his mother are nice ones to watch .

Ultimately, the good and the noble prevail :D

Wish MGR a very very Happy B'day.....

Let us all pray that his soul rest in peace....

MT fans (NT fans also) ..don't miss it.

Wonderful photos :D

A week end song of Thalaivar from Oru thai makkal featuring MGR and JJ. This movie is after the bullet wound & you can see that his voice is broken .

This movie also has another beautiful song - Kanna endhan kadhalan !

To the SOTD , it may look simple but the tune is a lilting melody . Its once again the great TMS-PS combination doing wonders with their customary improvisation here and there

Aayiram kannukku virundhagum
en azagukku oruvan thunai varuvan
adhu nee andro adhu nee andro !


Music ofcourse is by MSV .

Happy week end

MGR , SUPPOSED TO ACT AS JESUS :shock:


Ravindran ,one of the story writers of MGR said once that in 1970 MGR was about to act in the Film named "Yesunathar" (JESUS CHRIST) a grand opening for the Movie was held then.

MGR gave various poses as JESUS.

A month or so, the film was dropped because MGR refused to act.

The reasons what do you think will be? That MGR got a low deal or his call sheet problem?

NO!!!

When Ravindran queried MGR why did he turned down the offer, MGR said when he went to some villages he saw his still he posed as Jesus were used for worshiping. That he doesn't like and that is the reason for turning down the offer.

And here is the photo of MGR posing as Jesus !

I dont think it was that simple a decision for him ... I heard he went through A LOT of criticisms from all over the place for even deciding to act in that role! :cry: :roll:

MGR Photo collection

http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/t...nts/11393.html

MGR and JESUS dont stand anywhere close. Wise decision by him!

I CANT BUT ADMIRE his role in PADAGOTI.

The song

"tharai mel pirakka vaithaan" for once really depicted him as a good actor. His eyes would exhibit pain of a fisherman.

MGR attracts to a good extent, all ppl, who are not his fans too. Thats his BIGGEST ASSET.

Thanks for the nice information Nakeeran sir :)
IMHO, I don't see anything wrong for an actor to don the roles of GODS. Remember NTR had done this before. But the reason is the *impact* that will be created. Good decision by him. We should note that he went on to reject the same after seeing the reaction from the public (workshipping him) :wink:
