illeenga :-)

Kumudam publications started a new mag called 'mAlai mathi' and started releasing 'idhu varai vandhirAdha pudhiya novel's. Some of the initial ones were fantastic and 'inRu nee nALai nAn' happened to be one of them. I read some of those novels chudachchuda during school days - summer holidays.

Couple other noteworthy ones from mAlai mathi :
-Anuradha Ramanan's "araLippoo mEl Asai vaiththu" (lot of similarities with Sindhu Bhairavi story, instead of singer doctor there).
-Sujatha's "edhaiyum oru muRai" & "maRupadiyum Ganesh"

Some more info from old tfmpage

Friends,

A few months back, one Mr Veerayya, a veteran
production organiser in TF industry, had written his 'malarum ninaivugaL' in
ThugLak. He had written about ' indRu nee naalai naan!'. It was written by CA
Balan (of 'thookku mara nizhalil'novel fame). One scene was shot with a bearded
Sivakumar in jail, holding his child! The senior police officer in charge of the
jail requested that his own child be taken in the film! The child cried like
hell , scared at Sivakumar's 'dhaadi, meesai'!

The film was a family
production of Major and this particular song, I think, was directed by Major
himself.

ஒரு படத்தில் எல்லா பாடல்களும் அருமையாக வந்திருந்து பெரிதாய் பேசப்படாத படம்
பற்றிசொன்னோமானால் அதில் “இன்று நீ.. நாளை நான்” படத்தை சொல்லலாம். சி.ஏ.பாலன்
என்கிற எழுத்தாளர் மாலைமதியில் எழுதிய நாவலை, மேஜர் சுந்தர்ராஜன் இயக்கினார்.

Sachien

For anyone who wants to see Vijay, the actor.

How is Madhubanakadai? Hearing good reviews....

Sachien - My all time favorite movie. Vijay at his best.

Ajay I agree to an extent but there are other movies like Shajahan (especially pre climax register office scene), Priyamudan (negative role), Kannukul nilavu, etc where we can see VIJAY THE ACTOR.
