Nadigar Thilagam Sivaji Ganesan Part 8

[rsubras]

Another thing about Thillana Mohanambal.......the film is devoid of most of the accepted and beaten to death filmy cliches........ In usual films, the hero will be all over the film appearing in virtually all of the scenes...but here the protoganist is depicted not as a hero but a normal man with usual weaknesses.... When the heroine was in danger from the villain, it was a Saadhu who arranges for local men to fight against the villain's henchman and not the hero..... in general through out the film, whenever the heroine's dignity was under threat it was either the situation or some other character artists who bail her out rather than the hero...... In fact the hero, falling victim to the circumstances, even let down the heroine in the climax........ not sure if any Top heroes (in their peak form) would have agreed to take such a characterisation (there had been instances, even if the original stories had such kind of characterisation, either the director or hero would have made some alteration to suit to the hero's "image")
