ஆக, ஒரு நவீனமயமாக்கிய பழைய படம் மூன்று அரங்கில் 100வது நாள் வருவதற்கு முன்பே, நூறாவது நாள் ADVANCE BOOKING மூலம் HOUSEFULL ஆவது என்ற சாதனையை நிகழ்த்திய முதல் படமாகிறது !



Well said Senthil - சிலர் பிறக்கும் போதே ஊனத்துடன் பிறக்கிறார்கள் - அவர்களை கண்டு நாம் இரக்க படவேண்டுமே தவிர அவர்களுடன் போட்டி போடுவது அழகல்ல - இன்னும் சிலர் வேண்டாத வாதங்களில் மிக சிறந்த பேச்சாளர்களாக இருப்பார்கள் - இவர்களுடன் பேச்சு கொடுத்தால் , நாம் கண்டிப்பாக மெண்டல் ஆகிவிடுவோம் - அவர்கள் சொல்லும் சில தத்துவங்கள் :

1. மூன்று கால்கள் உள்ள முயல்களைத்தான் நாங்கள் பிடிப்போம்

2. யார் சொல்வது ? ஆதவன் மேற்கில் தான் உதிப்பான்

3. முன்னாள் பிறப்பவன் அண்ணன் - பின்னால் பிறப்பவன் தான் தம்பி - இதுதான் எங்கள் தாரக மந்திரம்.

4. நாங்கள் எந்த நாயின் வாலையும் நிமிர்த்து காட்டுவோம்

உங்களுக்கு ஒன்று தெரியுமா ? செவிடர்களுக்கு பொதுவாக காதுகள் சற்றே பெரியதாக இருக்கும் - ஓர் இரு , நல்ல வார்த்தைகள் , உண்மை பொதிந்த வார்த்தைகள் தப்பி தவறி அவர்கள் காதில் விழுவதற்காக இறைவன் ஒரு அற்ப ஆசையில் அப்படி சற்றே பெரிய காதுகளை கொடுத்திருக்கிறான் -- பாவம் இறைவன் - அவனின் நம்பிக்கையை சிலர் வாழ்க்கையில் என்றுமே அமுல் படுத்துவதில்லை

Review by Mr.Mahendra Raj.

NEETHI

Yesterday I got to watch a re-run of 'Neethi' (1973) and I will be failing in my duty if I do not comment about it.

'Neethi' is synonymous with that immortal 'Naalai Mudhal Kudikkamataen' song of Kaviarasar Kannadhasan which background story is well known. In case you don't it goes like this - Producer-cum-actor KBalajee screened the Hindi version 'Dushman' to enable Kannadhasan to grasp the songs' situation and thence to write the lyrics. When Balajee saw the lyrics he disputed by saying that in the original version the protagonist Rajesh Khanna gives up drinking on the spot. To this, Kannadhasan candidly told him that human weakness is such that anyone contemplating to give up drinking will only do so after imbibing the last drop from the bottle so as to start a new sober life. Balajee agreed and the rest is history.

Surprisingly, MSViswanathan, the MD of this film is giving a different version in media interviews about this song. He claims that he was the one who argued with Kannadhasan over the opening lines. He even forgot about what he wrote in 'Ananda Vikatan' in a serialized article way back in the early nineties. Perhaps, age is catching up on him and we should not make an issue out of it.

When Kaviarasu Kannadhasan visited Malaysia around the time of release of this film the and at public functions he was repeatedly asked to sing this song. The author obliged and sang it in his own imitable style. Such was the popularity of this song. Incidentally it was banned by the Malaysian public media broadcast authorities as it was seen as demeaning God.

'Maapillayai Paartukodi Mynahkutti' is another fast-paced ghazal-type number which was popular for some time but faded into oblivion with the advent of newer songs. In this song Kaviarasar has jocularly pointed out the evils of drinking with the line 'saarayam poye vilunthaal aaraya budhi illai'. Who else can write like this except for Kannadhasan on this age-old issue?

We can see a direct reference to Kamraj in the song 'Engalathu Boomi' although Kovai Soundrarajan's voice was not that suitable for Shivaji. Of course, in later films the audience accepted him (Kovai Soundrarajn) for Shivaji. . It was surprising to see Chandrababu doing a dance and singing in his own voice for this song. He was ailing quite badly at that period of time but nevertheless did a wonderful job despite his frail and pathetic figure. He used to be a close friend of Balajee since his younger days and that could be the reason the latter used him in 'Neethi' as well as 'Raja' (1972) to help him out of his financial straits.

MRR Vasu's scenes remind a bit of 'Pattikaada Pattanama' (1972) and 'Thyagam' (1979) when we see it in the present times. He has springy legs which is why he can hardly stand still in any scenes of all films where he acts. Even his own father MR Radha commented about this peculiar habit in a scene from 'Thaayai Kaatha Thanayan' (1962) - the first and last film they acted together. I doubt Aroordasss wrote such a snide dialogue. It must have be uttered by MR Radha in an impromptu manner, which he is famous for anyway, and accepted to be included without editing.

The scenes involving Manorama and Shivaji were also reminiscent if 'Thillana Mohanambal' (1968). The swooning over Shivaji scenes were actually reflective of Manorama's long time personal desire to act as Shivaji's pair. That became a reality in 'Gnana Paravai'(1991).

Jayalaitha's performance was not bad and for a moment confusion arises as though we are watching the song 'Vaangaya vaathiyaarayya' (Num Naadu 1979) when she dances and sings in almost a similar costume in the 'Engalathu Boomi' song. Even Shivaji looked like MGR in the long shots of this song. Anyway, both were political propaganda songs having Jayalalitha and MSV as common factors in both. I remember Balajee praising Jayalalitha for her cooperation in the outdoor location. In one scene she has to appear in a different attire and there was no luxurious caravan like nowadays. She just asked that some female unit members hold up some sarees between two trees and in a jiffy she changed into the costume. She had no inhibitions about doing so and this act saved Balajee's time to have her sent back to the hotel a few kilometers away to have this task done. Balajee was actually lamenting about the lavishness of today's luxurious caravans for top artistes.

In the late sixties and early seventies the audience will be assured of at least one scene where Sowcar Janagi faints. From 'Enga Oor Raja', 'Lakshmi Kalyanam', 'Oil Vilakku' and in many more there will be such a scene especially when she cries emotionally!

There was this scene where Sundrarajan, who acts as the pressing judge goes up to meet the Bench members who are all attired in full British crown judges. I don't remember seeing such a technically and legally advanced closed chamber scene in any other Tamil films. Anyway, the sentence meted out in lieu of actual jail sentence was already in practice in several developed countries. Such community service judgements are also being practiced in some Asian countries with the view to overcome prison overcrowding. However, the crux of the storyline in 'Neethi' is this particular scene which also became a topic of private intellectual discussions off- screen.

When you see a Balajee's remake movie you can be assured that he may copy the entire story of the original but will definitely name the protagonists Raja and Radha for sentimental reasons. Here Shivaji and Jayalalitha have these signature character names. Balajee also made movies bearing the titles of 'Raja' and 'Radha' respectively. So you can see how he holds this sentiment to heart.

Shivaji Ganesan was at one his best in 'Needhi' and I will not hesitate to rate his performance as More then superb.
As a lorry driver he carried his role well. (Sarath Kumar in 'Paarai' (2003) did a similar role and had almost the same storyline subtly). As an essentially transformed villager he was outstanding. Perhaps, this was the only film where Shivaji appeared in a long-sleeved blue safari pants and suit (although not necessarily meaning the classy-type) throughout the movie. Even when he changes into a jibba presented by Jayakouslya it was long sleeves. Throughout the film his arms were fully covered with long sleeved shirt and that too in a village-based story!

The climax fighting scene in the meat cold room was something modern and novel by the then standards and at certain stunt scenes Shivaji appeared without his double. There was also something very noticeable in Shivaji's mannerism which is not found in his other films. He maintained an unique running style like how Westerners used to do. Not once he deviated from this running style throughout the film. If in 'Puthiya Paravai' (1964) ending there were small frames of the artistes appearing all around Shivaji, in 'Neethi' it was almost similar albeit with a difference. They were actually moving frames but in freeze mode when only one was shown at a time. Never knew such a technology was toyed with some four decades ago. The present films have such innovative multi-frame scenes but usually depicting the making of the film.

On the whole 'Neethi' will never disappoint anyone as it is packed with all those necessary ingredients of a successful movie. It is one remarkable film with excellent acting, songs, music and enchanting village sceneries.

dear Yukesh Babu. These are my personal views with no intention to hurt anyone's feelings. As discussed before the collection details can only be revealed by Thiru. Chokkalingam as to judge whether this film is a success or a failure, in terms of money spent and money earned. But for anyone with a common sense and logical thinking this question will certainly arise : this film was released in about 120 theatres all over Tamil Nadu but in a week or so nearly 118 theatres had lifted this film for reasons that are obvious, even as it was continued only in two theatres at Chennai. In all the theatres it should have run for a minimum of 3 weeks, in 20 theatres it should have crossed 50 days and in atleast 8 theatres of major cities it could have reached 70days and then only in 2 or 3 theatres it is possible to have the 100 days mark. How this astonishing thing of a run to 100 days in Chennai only can happen when the film miserably failed to attract crowd in all other districts, particularly in Madurai and Kovai. We are not against MGR or his legacy. We do have our special respect for him as a unique phenomenon who rose to the level of a Chief Minister to rule this State. We differ only in such dubious things of his film run in a very explicit way! If this 'victory' is true and a 'record' without any comparison with Karnan, the forerunner for such technical advancements and rerelease of old classics, the significant omission we feel is the deliberate absence of the heroine of this movie, who is very much in Chennai only. This was her dubut film with MGR for whom she has been an ardent admirer, and political heir too! For your glorious celebrations she must have been invited and honoured or she must have graced this occasion since this film was a turning point in her life!! Haajaa Sheriff, Mayilswamy, ......what Yukesh? Not even the MGR's 'Karlakattai' owner Satyaraj or Sarathkumar, Ramarajan .....or K. Baghyaraj, MGR's cinema heir... at least greetings from them or eminent persons/politicians of Tamil Nadu or other distributors of MGR's 'Minimum Guranteed' films on which they all survived and encashed his charisma and vote bank?!Then only one can claim that the movie has had a huge success in its rerun after so many years of its first releasse, in a natural way! Any way, opinions always differ from different points of view. Since you asked me my 'reply', I have to oblige this way only.
