MGR’s charisma still holds sway


"MGR is still part of the popular imagination and it gives his name higher value over others. AIADMK will certainly seek to hide its failures and shortcomings behind his imaginative value and make political capital."

It may be just a coincidence that the birth centenary of AIADMK founder and former Chief Minister M.G. Ramachandran (1917-1987) begins when the State is bracing itself for Assembly elections. But, for the ruling AIADMK, it could not have come at a more appropriate time.

For a party built on MGR’s seemingly everlasting charisma, it will still be banking on his enduring do-gooder image to face every electoral challenge. That he died 28 years ago and those who were under his spell during his lifetime will be quite old now seem to be of little consequence.

“There may have been many phenomena in Tamil Nadu, but MGR is part of the popular imagination and it gives his name higher value over others. The AIADMK will certainly seek to hide its failures and shortcomings behind his imaginative value and make political capital,” said Ramu Manivannan, professor at University of Madras. Invoking his name would be a boost the party’s election prospects.

By calling for MGR’s centenary to evolve into a festive occasion at the national level, AIADMK general secretary and Chief Minister Jayalalithaa has acknowledged that he continues to be her party’s mascot.

Few could replicate MGR’s success - in films and politics. He achieved this by carefully building his image through meticulous selection of characters, dialogues and songs before taking the plunge into politics.

Often, the screen villain would be assigned dialogues extolling the protagonist’s virtues. Songs subserved his political ambition.

“Lyricists, including Pattukottai Kalyanasundaram, Kannadasan and Vaali, helped construct his image. DMK leader M. Karunanidhi’s dialogues also played a major role in this regard,” said Dravidian scholar K. Thirunavukkarasu, whose forthcoming book Dravida Iyakkamum Thiraippada Ulagamum dwells in detail on the symbiotic relationship between the Dravidian movement and the film world.

Mr. Thirunavukkarasu agreed that the anti-DMK feeling generated by MGR and his fans who worship him as God continues to hold sway in Tamil Nadu politics, even though the actor relied heavily on the DMK as a political organisation in his early political phase.

“He is probably the first actor to use party flags in films and spoke dialogues propagating Dravidian ideals.”

Writer Suba Gunarajan, who is also the editor of film magazine Kaatchi Pizhai , takes a nuanced view of MGR’s popularity.

“I will not call it magic because the generation that was captivated by his charisma was well beyond its prime. But we must accept that a considerable number of billionaires in the State have directly or indirectly benefitted by MGR.”

MGR temple at Nathamedu gears to receive fans


Until five years ago, Nathamedu, near Avadi, was unknown to the outside world, except for its large tracts of farmland irrigated by a small lake. And then L. Kalaivanan, an ardent fan of M.G. Ramachandran, built a temple in memory of the leader-actor.

“Many of his fans, in their 50s and 60s, from various parts of the State visit the temple at least on his birth anniversary,” said 57-year-old Kalaivanan, who is working as a newspaper sub-agent in the neighbourhood for decades.

As MGR’s 99{+t}{+h}birth anniversary is being observed today, the temple wears a festive look. .

A community kitchen for the entire village and for fans, who come from various parts of the State, have been arranged.

Ardent MGR fans from Kerala, Karnataka and also from the island nation of Sri Lanka, are also expected to visit the temple on Sunday, says Kalaivanan.
