Favorite Scenes/Songs from THALAIVAR Rajini films #3

[PARAMASHIVAN]

was this BW film?

Yes, probably the last B&W film by KB. This and Mullum Malarum constantly replace each other as my number one Rajini film

Can you please tell me a the brief story of this film and co actors actresses name, did kamal do a guest role in this ?

I have been pracharam-ising this movie for years. About 15 years ago, suddenly a theatre decided to re-release old films, among them was Adimai Penn and Tappu Thalanggal (the others did not interest us at that time).

In retrospect, I am thinking what the theatre owner was smoking when he decided to re-release a totally unmarketable film like TT. But boy, am I grateful for that dastardly deed!

I watched it with my brother. And both of us came back, speechless…remember this was the time when film industry has totally changed.

TT is a crude, in your face, love it or hate it type of film. KB must have some leftover money in his Murukku jar and decided lets just use it to film something cheap using a brilliant script and came up with TT.

The cameraman must have had bad back after shooting this because it is clearly not a normal flexi-cam, but just normal cam forced to be flexi. Jerky, uneven, and sometimes a bit out of focus, it did convery a reality that we don’t want to see. But we are forced to be there, with those low-lives and their lives.

When some actress is praised for being daring to play a prostitute, especially those looking like Miss World contenders, I scoff at them. They should first watch this film and decided that it is best that they pursue a career that requires more glamourous version of selling skin. Saritha in her debut does a great job. She is believable as a low class prostitute.

And Rajini! Crass, brutish, and unpredictable, and with a dose of humour that make you feel guilty even laughing about it, he comes off perfectly well as a low-life goon for hire. Ranks alongside Mullum Malarum as his best performance eve, his effortless performance should be a text book lesson.

And of course, Kamal makes two hilarious appearance and lightens down the situation. (I hear he insisted that he want to be in it).

Many has forgotten this film, including some of the newer Rajini film who probably never heard of it. Its time to remind them. Its also time to remind Rajini about his lost talent.

Just love the Brutal Rajni more than the hero rajni, awsome talent indeed, sadly many directors failed to utilise SS's 'great' talent!

[edit] Plot
It features Rajanikanth as Devu, a local thug whose weapon of choice is a bicycle chain he sports casually around the neck. Devu charges Rs.30 to slice a finger, Rs.300 to chop a hand, Rs.3000 for the leg, and ten times as much to dispose off the whole body. On one of his nightly rounds, Devu is pursued by a cop and seeks refuge at a whorehouse run by a hooker Sarasu, played to perfection by Saritha. Despite her vehement protests, he stays put and leaves only at daybreak, but her persistent cough stays with him. At a theatre, Devu watches an advertisement for Glycodin Cough Syrup and proceeds to buy her a bottle. Devu and Sarasu bond over the cough syrup and philosophize late into the night, exchanging notes on their immoral lifestyles.

Devu's assault on a trade union leader delivering medicine to a critically ill worker leads to a mishap. Watching the wailings of the widow of the worker, Devu is traumatized and breaks down at Sarasu's place. In an inspired moment, he suggests they remap their lives and chart a moral course. Sarasu is attracted by the notion of giving up prostitution and leading a normal life as Devu's wife, though she wonders if they'll be able to pull it off. The couple go to great lengths to secure a job for Devu and lead a normal life, but there are too many skeletons in the closet. Devu is no longer feared for his might, and Sarasu's past clientele continue to haunt the joint. Sarasu gets a loan for Devu from his evil brother Soma, who continues to harass her on that pretext. In a particularly traumatic sequence of events, Sarasu is raped by Soma as a helpless Devu watches, pinned down by Soma's henchmen. The couple resolve to repay Soma's loan, and Devu undertakes a botched robbery attempt. Devu is imprisoned and in his absence, Sarasu has an abortion. The couple's plans for normality never attain fruition. The inevitable return to lives of vice is especially tragic and heartbreaking.

Balachander excels at the verite portrayal of the daily drama in the lives of pimps, hookers, and their varied clientele, as well as the politicians who hire thugs like Devu to achieve their aims through violence. Devu's inherent goodness is contrasted with his "evil twin", a stepbrother Soma who thwarts his every attempt at morality and finally succumbs at Devu's hands. Kamalhaasan has an interesting cameo as a Hindi speaking client of Sarasu. Balachander skewers middle-class morality and takes potshots at the hypocrisy of do-gooders. In the final analysis, the film is an indictment of society at large, for not allowing lesser mortals to rejoin society and return to a life of normality.

KamalHassan has done a guest appearance in this movie.

முரட்டு காளை - விகடன் விமர்சனம்

கதைக்கும், திரைக்கதைக்கும் தனியாகக் கவனம் செலுத்தவில்லை. பழைய மசாலாவையே புதிய கலவையாக்கிக் கொடுத்திருக்கிறார்கள்!

படத்தில் வரும் சண்டைக் காட்சிகள் ஒவ்வொன்றும் தூள் பறக்கிறது. குறிப்பாக, எக்ஸ்பிரஸ் வேகத்தில் ஓடும் கூட்ஸ் வண்டிச் சண்டையைக் காணத் தவறாதீர்கள்! உயிரைப் பணயம் வைத்து இந்தக் காட்சியைப் படமாக்கியி ருக்கிறார்கள். இந்தக் காட்சியோடு க்ளைமாக்ஸை இணைத்துப் படத்தை முடித்திருந்தால் நிறைவு ஏற்பட்டிருக்கும். இடையில் வரும் ரஜினியின் மாறுவேட 'நாட்டிய நாடகம்' பொறுமையை எல்லை மீறச் செய்வதால், பின்னால் வரும் ஜெய் - ரஜினி சண்டை அற்புதமாகப் படமாக்கப்பட்டிருப்பினும் சலிப்புத் தட்டுகிறது.



சின்ன வயசில் பண்ணையா ரிடம் சேர்ந்து, அவர் உப்பில் வளர்ந்து, அவரிடமே காரியஸ்த னாக உயர்ந்துள்ள சாமிப்பிள்ளையின் பாத்திரத்தை படத்தில் முழு நேர வில்லனாகச் சித்திரித்திருப்பது - கொக்கு தலையில் வெண்ணெய் இல்லை; ஒரு பசு மாட்டையே தூக்கி நிற்க வைத்திருக்கிறார்கள்!

சுமலதா, காட்டில் பாடிக் கொண்டு வர, உடனே அதை ரஜினி புரிந்துகொள்வதைப் பார்க்கும்போது, இந்தப் பாடல் ஏற்கெனவே கதையில் பாடப்பட்டிருக்கவேண்டுமே என்று தோன்றுகிறது! இல்லையென்றால், சுமலதா ரஜினியைத் தேடிக் கொண்டு வரும்போது, இந்தக் காதல் ரசம் ததும்பும் பாடல் எங்கிருந்து வந்தது?

'டூப்' விடாமல் நிஜமான போலீஸ்காரர்கள் இருவரைப் பண்ணையாரின் கையாட்க ளாகக் காட்டி, போலீஸிலும் தவறு செய்பவர்கள் இருக்கிறார் கள் என்பதைத் துணிவோடு காட்டியிருப்பது புதுமை!

மாட்டுச் சண்டையில் கூடவா ரஜினியின் கராத்தே ஸ்டைல்? தன்னைப் பார்த்துவிட்டுக் காளைமாடும் தன் முன்னங்கால்களைத் தூக்கி குங்ஃபூ போஸ் கொடுக்கும் என்று எதிர்பார்க்கிறாரா? போகிறபோக்கில், கோவிலுக்குச் சென்று சுவாமியை வணங்குவதுபோல் படமெடுத்தால்கூட, கராத்தே ஸ்டைலில் நான்கு தடவை கையை சுற்றிவிட்டுத்தான் ரஜினி, கடவுளுக்கே வணக்கம் தெரிவிப்பார் போலிருக்கிறது!

என்னதான் மசாலா படம் என்றாலும், எவ்வளவுதான் விறு விறுப்பு அதிகமாக இருந்தாலும், அடுத்து வரும் காட்சியை முன் கூட்டியே சொல்லிவிடக்கூடிய அளவுக்கு மெலிதான திரைக்கதை. படம் பார்ப்பவர்களிடம் இன்று ரசிகத்தன்மை ஏகமாக வளர்ந்தி ருக்கிறது. இருந்தாலும், 'ஜனரஞ்சகமாகத் தயாரிக்கப்பட்ட பொழுதுபோக்குப் படம்' என்ற ஒப்புதல் வாக்குமூலத்தைப் புரிந்து கொண்டு ரசிகர்கள் மன்னிக்கவும், ரசிக்கவும் தயாராக இருக்கிறார்கள்.
