 Puthiya Paravai (English: New Bird), also spelt as Pudhiya Paravai,[2] is a 1964 Indian Tamilromantic thriller film directed by Dada Mirasi, under the banner of Sivaji Films. It stars Sivaji Ganesan, B. Saroja Devi and Sowcar Janaki in the lead roles, while M. R. Radha, V. K. Ramasamy, Nagesh and Manorama play supporting roles. The story is about a rich businessman who falls for a young woman he meets on a cruise ship, when going to his home country after living abroad. She and her father stay with him. As they get closer, the man reveals that he was already married before, but his wife died and this continuously troubles him. The woman consoles him, and they decide to get married. But on their engagement day, an unexpected incident changes their lives forever. How the man overcomes this forms the rest of the story.
 Puthiya Paravai, which is notably the maiden production of Sivaji Films, is a remake of theBengali film Sheshankaa, which itself was inspired by the 1958 British film Chase a Crooked Shadow. The costumes featured in the film were tailored and brought from Singapore andEngland, unlike other Tamil films of the time. The film's original soundtrack was composed by M. S. Viswanathan and T. K. Ramamurthy, with several of the tracks becoming chartbusters, like the numbers Paartha Gnaabagam Illaiyo and Engey Nimmadhi, which at the time, had the highest number of instruments used for a recording. The film's cinematography was handled by K. S. Prasad.
 The film was also dubbed in Telugu as Singapoor CID.[3] Puthiya Paravai was released on 12 September 1964 in several theatres across Chennai excluding the theatre Shanthi, which was Ganesan's family-owned theatre. Upon release, the film opened to critical acclaim and became a commercial success, with the lead actor's performances being widely lauded, most notably Sowcar Janaki's portrayal of a modern women, in contrast to the "homely" roles she portrayed in her previous films. The film is due to be digitally restored and re-released in 2014.

 [edit]Plot
 Gopal (Sivaji Ganesan) is a rich businessman who is returning from Singapore to his hometown in a cruise ship. He meets Latha (Saroja Devi), another traveler who has been accompanied by her father (V. K. Ramasamy). Repeated meetings develop a good friendship in course of time and Gopal invites them to his mansion home at Ooty and leaves for his place. Gopal again meets Latha and her father who have come on a tour to Ooty, and he takes them to his home. Gopal and Latha develop a liking for each other and he proposes to her to which she happily accepts. One day, Latha finds a nervousness in Gopal while he hears any train sound. Gopal explains the reason behind this is his first wife.
 Gopal who had lost his mother had been wandering aimlessly at Singapore. In a night club, he met a singer named Chitra (Sowcar Janaki). He got attracted to her and they both decided to marry, in the presence of Chitra's brother Raju (S. V. Ramdoss). On the first night of the marriage, Gopal found that his wife was not cultured and she visits night clubs, parties and consumes drinks. Gopal was depressed by her attitude, but tolerated for respect of his family. Eventually, his father (Dada Mirasi) died of a heart attack after seeing Chitra's drunken attitude. Gopal tried to control Chitra, but she always felt irritated by his acts. At one point, she tried to walk out of his life to which Gopal pleaded her to change her mind. But Chitra did not obey and went away. The next day he heard Chitra died in railway track and this disturbs him a lot. Latha consoles him and tells him to forget the past.
 Gopal and Latha soon decide to get married. Latha's father accepts for the marriage and engagement is arranged. On the day of their engagement, the ceremony is suddenly stopped by a woman claiming that she is Chitra, the wife of Gopal, accompanied by her uncle Rangan (M. R. Radha). Gopal is taken aback by the incident and also the resemblance of the woman's identity to that of his wife's face. Latha leaves the hall with tears. Gopal insists that the lady is not Chitra as she has died a long time back, which no-one believes due to his lack of conclusive evidence. "Chitra" explains that she is alive and wants to live with him as a good wife, though Gopal does not believe her. He promises Latha that the lady is not Chitra, and vows to prove it true. Both Latha and "Chitra" have an internal cold war for right of Gopal's life and love. Gopal is tortured when no-one except his policeman friend Kumar (O. A. K. Thevar) believes whatever he says about her and additionally by "Chitra" when she sings the same song which she sang during their first meet.
 Later, Raju (who knew about Chitra's death) arrives at Gopal's home and believes Gopal's story about the Chitra look-alike who was bothering him. However upon seeing her, believes his sister Chitra is alive. After Gopal fails twice to prove the fake Chitra's identity, he ultimately reveals the truth to everyone — Before Chitra was ready to leave Gopal forever, the latter slapped her, causing her to mysteriously die. Gopal then found out the reason from his family doctor, that Chitra was a heart patient with a weak heart. Gopal, wanting to hide the truth and make people believe Chitra committed suicide, took her corpse and left it on a railway track, causing the running train to crush it, also admits that he would not have slapped her if he knew she was a heart patient. Thus, everyone accepts Gopal's story, and he orders Kumar to arrest the Chitra look-alike. However, Rangan, Latha and her father reveal themselves as undercover police officers inquiring into the mysterious death of Chitra. Having found Gopal guilty of killing Chitra, they finally arrest him.
 [edit]Cast
 Any role that is unusual, unconventional has a special appeal for me, a character like the one I played in "Puthiya Paravai". Maybe it has something to do with my own psyche. I love complex characters.
 - Sowcar Janaki, in an interview with Film World[4]
 [edit]Production
 [edit]Development
 The 1958 British thriller film Chase A Crooked Shadow, directed by filmmaker Michael Anderson was a "success around the world, including India". It later inspired the Bengali film Sheshankaa, which starred Uttam Kumar, Sharmila Tagore and Sabitha Chowdhary. Sheshankaa's screenplay by Rajkumar Mitra was acquired by Sivaji Films to be made in Tamil as its first "in-house" production — Puthiya Paravai, with Dada Mirasi as the director and screenplay writer.[5]
 [edit]Casting
 While Sivaji Ganesan was cast as the male lead, both the female leads — B. Saroja Devi and Sowcar Janaki made an impact by being cast in roles very different from what they had generally done till then.[6] According to Ganesan's eldest son Ramkumar Ganesan, "Sivaji always thought of Sowcar Janaki as classy and sophisticated. That is why he cast her in the role of a modern woman in the film Pudhiya Paravai. Before that Sowcar had only acted in homely roles".[7] Director Dada Mirasi, who did a guest role as the hero's father in the film,[5] was initially not convinced about Janaki acting in the film. But after seeing her performance in the song Paartha Gnabagam Illaiyo, Mirasi conceded that "she had won".[8] Actors Nagesh and M. R. Radha were also selected to play important roles.[9]
 [edit]Filming
 Pudhiya Paravai was filmed in Eastman Color.[2] The costumes were tailored and brought from Singapore and England. The song recorded during the first day was Chittukuruvi Muththam Koduthu. An African music band which was visiting Chennai then was used for the songPaartha Gnabagam Illaiyo, picturized on Sowcar Janaki. K. S. Prasad handled the film's cinematography,[2] and Aroordhas wrote the film's dialogues.[10] The heavily orchestrated Engey Nimmadhi number, at that time, had the highest number of instruments used for recording. It was revealed that "Apparently, Kannadasan could not get the right words nor was there a tune ready and Sivaji came to the composing and did a pantomime of what he would like to do and thus was born the line and the song".[11] The tuxedo worn by Sivaji Ganesan in the film was ordered from London, and was "something unheard of those days".[6]

 [edit]Reception
 The soundtrack received positive response from contemporary critics. Randor Guy of The Hindu stated, "The movie has excellent music (Viswanathan-Ramamurthy; lyrics by Kannadasan) and many songs became hits — Paartha Gnaabakam Illayo…!, Unnai ondru ketpen (P. Sushila) and Engey nimmathee (T. M. Soundararajan)."[5] Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu said, "Who can forget the everlasting flavour of MSV’s expertise that emanated through each and every number, beginning with ‘Unnai Ondru Kaetpaen’!"[2] Film critic Baradwaj Rangan called it a "stylish musical bonanza".[16]
 [edit]Release
 Pudhiya Paravai was released on 12 September 1964, and was slated to be released in theatre Shanthi,[11] which was Sivaji Ganesan's family-held theatre.[6] However, because the Raj Kapoor-starrer Sangam was already running there successfully, the film was instead released in theatre Paragon, which had to be excessively refurbished before screening the film.[11]
 [edit]Critical reception
 A different kind of film for its time, Puthiya Paravai received positive reviews. Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu said, "Pudhiya Paravai is a thriller in the whodunit genre. Dada Mirasi’s astute adaptation saw to it that the suspense was maintained till the very end, and the denouement neatly tied up the strands of suspense."[2] Film historian Randor Guy stated, "Sivaji Ganesan as the hero forced into a corner is excellent. Saroja Deviexudes glamour, while Sowcar Janaki as the boozing wife acquits her role with considerable conviction", while concluding that the film would be "Remembered for the taut onscreen narration, the excellent performances by Sivaji Ganesan, Sowcar Janaki and M. R. Radha, and Saroja Devi’s glamour".[5] Film chronicler "Film News" Anandan praised the film for being "the first film which had a classy, rich look right through."[6]Ramakrishnan T. of The Hindu called Saroja Devi's character a "brilliant role".[17] IndiaGlitz said, "In the colourful 'Puthiya Paravai' Sivaji's every movement with Saroja Devi talks love."[18]
 [edit]Re-release
 Pudhiya Paravai was re-released on July 23, 2010[11] to commemorate Sivaji Ganesan's 9th death anniversary. The negatives of the film were "cleaned up at a lab" prior to release, and the film was released at Shanthi theatre, where it could not originally be released in 1964. Despite being a re-release, the film earned public acclaim and took a very big opening, running to "full houses" for three days.[6] As of 2013, production house Sai Ganesh Films have announced that the film's digitally restored version will be released in 2014, 50 years since the original release in 1964.[20]

 Uthama Puthiran (English: Ideal Son) is a 1958 Indian Tamil historical fiction film directed byTatineni Prakash Rao. The film stars Sivaji Ganesan, Padmini and M. N. Nambiar in the lead roles, while K. A. Thangavelu, Ragini and P. Kannamba play supporting roles. It is the first film to feature Sivaji Ganesan in two distinct roles.[2][3] The film was also released in Telugu as Veera Prathap and in Hindi as Sitamgar.[4]
 Uthama Puthiran is the story of a queen who gives birth to twins. But as fate would have it, one of the twins is forcefully abandoned and grows up elsewhere. He grows up as a kind and honest man, while the other twin grows up as a greedy and arrogant man. When fate brings both the twins together and they start fighting without recognizing each other, it is only their mother who can bring peace. The film was released on 7 February 1958, and became a huge success.
 Contents
 
 Plot [edit]
 It is a joyous time for everyone in a land known as Malarpuri, when the queen (P. Kannamba) becomes pregnant. Joyful for everyone except her brother Naganathan (M. N. Nambiar), the army commander who has his eye on the throne. So he pays one of the maids to deliver the newborn to him. He then proceeds to hand it over to his henchman Somu, ordering it to be killed. But the queen gives birth to twins and the king (M. K. Radha), ever suspicious of Naganathan, passes an order that forces Naganathan to take care of this baby. But he decides to raise it as his hand puppet. Meanwhile, Somu desists from killing the baby and instead, raises it in another town. So the twins grow up separately - Parthiban, a good, honest and brave man and Vikraman (both played by Sivaji Ganesan), a drunkard and womaniser who is dependent on his uncle for everything.
 Parthiban falls in love with Amuthavalli alias "Amutha" (Padmini), the daughter of the minister at the palace and on one of his nocturnal visits, runs into his brother and his mother. The queen finds out that Parthiban was her other son who she did not raise, and she accepts him as her son. She pleads Vikraman also to accept Parthiban as his brother, but Vikraman, his mind poisoned by his uncle, fights Parthiban and defeats him, later clamping an iron mask on his face and locks him up in the dungeons. But through some strategies Parthiban escapes, he reaches Vikraman and forces him into the same prison, thus the same iron mask is put on Vikraman's face this time. Parthiban then puts on Vikraman's clothes and acts as the king, while the guards at the dungeons are unaware that it is Vikraman (dressed as the pauper that Parthiban earlier was) who is trapped.
 Vikraman keeps pleading the guards to release him and tries to make them understand the truth but the guards continue to laugh, thinking that "Parthiban" has gone insane. His last proof of identity, Vikraman writes a message on a nearby plate and after signing it, tosses it out of the window. A guard reads the message and after seeing Vikraman's sign, finds out that he is in prison. The guard releases Vikraman who challenges Parthiban to a final fight. With Parthiban seeming to emerge victorious, Vikraman escapes on a horse and while running through the mountains, he however loses control of the horse and falls off the cliff. With Vikraman finally gone, Parthiban is crowned the new king of Malarpuri.

 Production [edit]
 In those days, it was technically very difficult to film movies which call for double roles. Though computer technology was non-existent those days, filming was very well executed. There was nothing much to my dance performance in Utthama Puthiran. I had already mentioned I was a good dancer, having been trained in the art of traditional Indian dance. The dance performance for Utthama Puthiran was different. The credit goes to the dance master, Heera Lal, who conceived the dance and choreographed it with fast steps and claps.
 —Sivaji Ganesan in his autobiography[2]
 Development [edit]
 When Venus Pictures came out with an advertisement of their film Uthama Puthiran in a 1958 newspaper with Sivaji Ganesan in the leading role, the same day actor MGR announced a same-titled film in the same paper. Not wanting to make an issue out of it, Venus pictures continued shooting the film, as the script was ready and released it on the date announced. Eventually, MGR changed the title of his film to Nadodi Mannan, and released it much later.[5]
 Filming [edit]
 The film was scripted by Sridhar. Cinematography was handled by Aloysius Vincent.Bollywood dancer Helen was roped in to perform a dance sequence in the song Yaaradi Nee Mohini, which was Tamil cinema's first "rock ‘n’ roll dance".[6]
 Influences [edit]
 Uthama Puthiran is a remake of the same-titled 1940 film that featured P. U. Chinnappa in two distinct roles, notably the first Tamil film to feature an actor in two roles.[7] It is also said to be adapted from the French novel The Man in the Iron Mask, written by Alexandre Dumas in 1850.[8] The story of identical twins was used often in Tamil cinema, and Dumas himself used it to write his famous The Corsican Brotherswhich was also adapted into Tamil. The Gemini Studios version Apoorva Sagotharargal with M. K. Radha playing the twins was a box office hit.M. G. Ramachandran played the twins in a rehash of the film titled Neerum Neruppum, which did not do as well.[3] Uthama Puthiran (1958) also was the inspiration behind Imsai Arasan 23m Pulikesi, a 2007 historical comedy film starring comedian Vadivelu as the twins.[9]
 Soundtrack [edit]
 The soundtrack of the film has been composed by G. Ramanathan.[10]

 Critical reception [edit]
 Film critic Balaji Balasubramaniam said, "Inspite of being a historical, Uthama Puthiran does not have that many songs and so, the songs appear at reasonable intervals. Most of them are also very good with Mullaimalar Mele... taking the top spot. Anbe Amudhe... and Unnazhagai Kanniyargal... are the other good songs. As far as song sequences go, the exuberant Yaaradi Nee Mohini... has little competition."[11]
 Release [edit]
 Reception [edit]
 Uthama Puthiran has received critical acclaim. The Hindu called it "ever-popular", and labelled Sivaji Ganesan as a "Consummate villain and a suave hero".[12] Film critic Malathi Rangarajan said, "That one scene where the arrogant twin callously goes up and down on the swing as his mother rebukes and pleads with him to mend his ways, is enough to ensure the everlasting shelf-life of the decades-old offering from the stable of Sivaji Ganesan. Catch it the next time it is telecast. It's worth it."[13] Indiaglitz said, "It has good performances, melodious music, and an engaging screenplay and is hugely entertaining."[8] Balaji Balasubramaniam rated it 3.5/5 and said, "There is not a single wrong step in Sivaji's performance. Inspite of no visual differences, the distinction between the two characters is beautifully brought out with just body language and style of talking. Vikraman is easily the more interesting of the two and offers more scope for acting."[11] Film historian Randor Guy praised the film for its "excellent screenplay, fine dialogue, music, Sivaji Ganesan’s superb performance and Prakash Rao’s impressive direction."[6]
 Box office [edit]
 Uthama Puthiran was very successful during its theatrical run. With Sivaji Ganesan's dual role performance being praised, he went on to do several hit dual role films in his later career.[14] The film ran for over 100 days in theatres.[4]
