Nadigar Thilagam Sivaji Ganesan Part 9

[Murali Srinivas]

Watched a movie in Vasanth TV today titled Rajabhakthi..hero Sivaji......... never heard of this film previously..but this had a line up of all famous heroines at that time, Padmini, Vyjayanthimala, Banumathi (in a negative role, surprisingly) and then M.N.Nambiar, Balaiah etc...story ennamo konjam Manohara, konjam Manthirikumari ngra range la irunthathu (saw only half an hour or so)...... Any one have more info on this film and whether it is good or so? i assume it came after manohara, since there were many Manohara style dialogues, veeravesam etc.,

RS,

This was a movie that was in the production for some time before getting released in 1960. Was a bit outdated as historical movies were slowly losing ground to social themes. In that year of 1960 iself, films with social theme, strong family oriented movies and great acting by NT took the theatres by storm and to name a few they were Irumbu Thirai, Deiva Piravi and Padikkaadha Medhai. It didn't see much of re-releases also. one of the few movies of NT that yours truly had missed out seeing so far.
