M.R.RADHA a great artist

[Nakeeran]

[tscii]Why no thread for this great actor !?

He deserves a thread more than anyone else

Had played multiple characters – Hero, villain, character roles with ease

A versatile artist

Possessed unique voice & his successors inherited it

Never short of controversy also

His Ratha kaneer delivered a very good social message

His family tree has long branches – MRR Vasu / Radha Ravi / Radhika / Nirosha etc

All have done well

Lets discuss this great artist of yesteryears

[bingleguy]

Good Job Nakke !

MRR definitely deserves a thread ! Being a versatile actor, he is known for his behaviour as a villian n a comedian together ... and also his voice and also his modulation in his voice !

Being the center of attraction during the time when BIG kings ruled the industry, he stood very different from the rest of them ....

I believe he is from Trichy ... i even have been to his MRR colony which is in Senthaneerpuram even today !

There is a lot to discuss about him

[rajraj]

Moved from MOY section. MOY section is for old songs, music and singers!

[genius]

yes, nakkee ur correct..... he is truly great ... vivek is still imitating him

[Nakeeran]

I watched Pava manipu recently & mannnnnnnn !

Wondering who was the real hero .

So many shots / frames , dialogues for Nadigavel !

Every scene of his with Shivaji was class

& in climax , when he apologises to everyone & the way he hugs Shivaji ,

SUPERB ACTING

Enakku pala patta peyargal undu inge Pala nanbargal irukindranar Leave them & let them enjoy with their words


Today, I wish to mention about MRR's ever famous movie RATHA KANEER :

In the early 50’s the foreign culture invasion struck a blow and also opened up the eyes of younger generation.

M.R.Radha beautifully captures this myth through this stage play which was also screened later.

The foreign returned hero is extremely head weight.

Neglects village culture on his return from America.

He rejects all love and affection shown by the people in his village.

He is very sarcastic about Indians .

He even asks his mother - NEE EN GAVUN PODA MATENGURE !?
Enakku unna ammanu en friendsu kitte sollave vetkama irukku !

Another scene when he organises a meet :

Pant pottavan ellam chairla okkaru

Veshti katinavan ellam tharaiyila okkaru

He is forced to marry a village girl.

She is afraid of him.

As usual in the early hours he takes whisky instead of coffee.

For him all ideals of the country are peanuts.

The affluence still makes him to lead a high standard of life.

He meets a dancer in a program.

Affiliation grows with her.

He slowly loses his affluence for her.

He does not attend his mother’s cremation in the gala life.

His close friend S.S.Rajendran shows affection to his wife & remains a care taker & well wisher .

Leprosy gets into MRR.

Unknowingly he comes to his wife for alms.

He goes and begs his dancer to give him a comfortable life.

She kicks from the height.

MRR's power deteriorates gradually and with disease on the one side he wishes to see his wife to marry SSR , upon realizing that his wife is ultimate in life & wishes everything good for her atleast from now .

He makes an appeal that his statue should be made in his hometown and younger generation should be taught the pros and cons of his life.

The character had the HIGHEST SENSE OF HUMOUR even in his last days in life when he roams around as a virtual begger, looks for water & finds a roadside tap
He opens the tap only to get oxygen but no water
Despite the fact that he is at the end of his life , he blasts the government

NASTY MUNICIPALITY

In my opinion, THIS M.R.RADHA IS ONE OF THE BEST CHARACTERS PORTRAYED IN TAMIL CINEMA ITSELF

It had a social message


More to come on the great M.R.Radha

[nilavupriyan]

post the dialogues(nakkal) from ratha kanneer nakeera

[Nakeeran]

N Priyare

Actually the first half is full of sarcastic comments from MRR !

Too many.

I have just mentioned a couple above like :

asking amma to wear Gavun

Veshti pottavan ellam kize okkaru !

Wait, I will post a full set of dialogues today

[saradhaa_sn]

கலைவாணரைப்போலவே முற்போக்கு சமுதாய கருத்துக்களை தருவதிலும், மூடநம்பிக்கை சாடல்களிலும் கைதேர்ந்தவர் எம்.ஆர்.ராதா.

எம்.ஜி.ஆருடன் அவர் நடித்த 'மாடப்புறா' படத்தில் ஒரு காட்சி. தெருவில் ஒருவன் தாயத்து விற்றுக்கொண்டிருப்பான். அங்கு எம்.ஆர்.ராதா வருவார்.

தாயத்து விற்பவன்: "அய்யாமார்களே அம்மாமார்களே, இது சாதாரண தாயத்து இல்லே. இதை வாங்கி கட்டினீங்கன்னா உங்க தரித்திரம், வறுமை எல்லாம் உங்களைவிட்டு ஓடிப்போயிடும். நீங்க லட்சாதிபதியா கோடீஸ்வரர்களா ஆயிடலாம்"

எம்.ஆர்.ராதா: "ஏண்டா, உங்கிட்டே ரெண்டு ரூபாய்க்கு தாயத்து வாங்கி கட்டினா லட்சாதிபதியா, கோடீஸ்வரனா ஆகலாம்னு சொல்றியே. நீயே ஒரு தாயத்தை எடுத்து கட்டிகிட்டு கோடீஸ்வரனா ஆக வேண்டியதுதானே. ஏண்டா தெருவுல* தாயத்து வித்துக்கிட்டு அலையிறே".

(இதை எம்.ஆர்.ராதா பாணியில் படிக்கவும்).
