Nadigar Thilagam Sivaji Ganesan Part 9

[Gopal.s]

பம்மலார் சார்,
இந்தியாவின் சரித்திரம் மற்றவர்களால் எழுத பட்டதால் பிழை பட்டு,மிகை பட்டு,சிதை பட்டு போனது. ஆனால் நமது சரித்திரம் நம்மவர்களால் எழுத படுவதால் நூறு சதம் சரியானது.இந்திய சரித்திரம் எழுத ஒரு பம்மலார் இல்லாதது நமது நாட்டின் துரதிர்ஷ்டம்.
கோடீஸ்வர மூக்கையன் சொத்து கணக்கை வெளியிட்டது போல், ஆனந்த்,எஸ்.பீ.சௌத்ரி,ராஜசேகர் முதலிய எழுபதுகளின் கோடீஸ்வரர்கள் தங்கள் சொத்து கணக்கை வெளியிட வேண்டும்.

வாசு சார்,
நிச்சயம் பதிவு போடுவேன். ஆனால் உலக பொருளாதார மந்த நிலை,வியாபாரத்தை ரொம்ப கஷ்டமாக்கி,முதுகெலும்பை முறிக்கும் அளவு வேலை கொடுக்கிறது. மேலும்,இந்த திரிக்கென்று ஒரு மரபு,எழுதப்படா சில விதிகள், சில பொதுமை,சில பன்மை உள்ளது. நான் என்னை மேலும் பண்படுத்தி
இந்த திரியின் எல்லோரோடும்,ஒருங்கிணைவு,ஒத்திசைவு கொண்டு, யார் மனதும் நோகாமல் ,கருத்து வெளியிட ,என்னை பத படுத்தி கொள்ள சிறிது அவகாசம் தேவை படுகிறது. மேலும்,பழைய பதிவுகளை ,படி படியாக,நேரம் அனுமதிக்கும் பொது ,படித்து வருகிறேன். இது சக்கரத்தை திரும்ப ,திரும்ப கண்டு பிடிக்காமல் இருக்க உதவும்.
முரளி,சாரதா,பார்த்தசாரதி,கிருஷ்ணா போன்றோர் ,நீண்ட நாட்களாய் காணோமே?
உங்கள் அன்புக்கு மிக மிக கடன் பட்டுள்ளேன்.

Our dear friend has stated in another thread as follows:

Same logic applies to anyone who tries hard to project how Sivaji was not a failure in politics. Historical evidence suggests that it is not the case. No matter how hard you would try to project such a false image, it won't go into people's mind. In that, you would only invalidate all your genuine claims and how painstakingly you have collected true records. And industries like TN are the ones who are blamed for not being open with respect to box office records, true collections etc. In politics, it is a different case altogether. At least you have a clear picture.

I have raised the following questions. My posting is as follows:

Even if you go by logic, then answer the following questions with open honest straightforward mind. Give analysis and not overviews.

1. What is the yardstick for failure in Politics?
2. What do people want to establish - Sivaji is failure in Politics or Election?
3. If in Politics what are the reasons?
4. If in Elections what are the reasosns, circumstances, for whom he canvassed and why he was rejected?
5. How many elections did he contest and give the average performance in elections he contested with success failure rate.

This is what is expected from an educated honest and neutral mind.

Dear friends,
There have been repeated instances of our stances on NT's political career. என்னவோ பெரிய தேச துரோகம் செய்து விட்டு அரசியலில் தோற்றவர் போல் எழுதுகிறார்கள். திரும்பத் திரும்ப எழுதி நம்மையும் பதில் எழுத வைக்கிறார்கள். மாடரேட்டர்களுக்கு வேண்டுகோள். நடிகர் திலகத்தின் அரசியலைப் பற்றி விமர்சிக்கும் போது அதற்கு பதில் எழுதாமல் இருக்க முடியாது. அப்படி எழுதும் போது அது அரசியல் பதிவாகத் தான் இருக்கும். முன்பே பல்வேறு சமயங்களில் நாம் நடிகர் திலகத்தின் பொது வாழ்வில் நேர்மை, தர்மம், தேசப்பற்று இவற்றைப் பற்றி எல்லாம் எழுதியிருக்கிறோம். அவருடையது தேர்தல் தோல்வியே தவிர அரசியல் தோல்வியல்ல. மீண்டும் மீண்டும் அவருடைய. அரசியலை விமர்சித்தால் நாம் பதில் தராமல் இருக்க முடியாது. அப்படி பதில் தரும் போது பலருடைய மனது புண்படத்தான் செய்யும். இதனைத் தங்களுடைய கவனத்திற்குக் கொண்டு வர விரும்புகிறோம்.

There can be no two opinions about the fact that Chevalier Sivaji Ganesan is a legend.
Coming from a theater background (he acquired the title Sivaji from theater), expressing in a very pronounced manner came naturally to him. Being subtle was not the flavor of those days and if you watch cinema of the early Sivaji era, you will see that what many call overacting now was the norm in those days.

It was more or less a theater setting with the camera being kept straight and the actors being asked to perform within the frame, the occasional close up shot being given for the expression of surprise, shock, romance or whatever. Even the dialogues were theatrical. All techniques like bottom and top angle cuts, lighting that suited the situation, precise make-up that enhance cinema so much were non-existent. Sivaji Ganesan began and for a large part, worked in such an era as an actor who excelled in emotional roles.

The greatness of Sivaji Ganesan comes to light when we look at the range of roles that he has done in his career and the range of styles that he adopted in each of his movies. Not many actors of our times have shown the courage that he has. To do a full fledged hateful negative role while you are still a leading hero takes a lot of confidence and Sivaji Ganesan showed that in Andha Naal. Actors of our times have shown a liking to the negative role, Even if they have, they have also chosen to have the security of playing a double role with one character being a do-gooder. Andha Naal had Sivaji Ganesan as a completely unscrupulous person who would not even stop short of treason to make money.(exception Mankata Ajith) His detractors should take a look at this performance.
They also should take a look at Uthama Puthiran where one can see upon close observation, a striking similarity to Rajnikanth’s famous brisk walk.(Imsai Arasan was a copy cat in comic form)
Even Kamal once said in a function that actors of all ages have taken something out of Sivaji Ganesan’s book, be it style or acting skills. What Sivaji did so many years back is adopted and replicated by so many contemporary stars- a compliment to his greatness.

And if any of you still doubt whether the great man was overdoing it, then take a look at some of his films in the 90s. Cinema had evolved and he had understood the change. His performance in Thevar Magan, Gnana Paravai(Though most of them won't agree, I saw the movie on sat , mas mesmeried over NT actin, though the movie was poor) must count as one of the finest in Tamil cinema, please go back and see the scene where he and Kamal Haasan talk in the courtyard, discussing about the hotel that Kamal proposes to build in the city. Such performances can come only from an actor of brilliance of the highest order, only a true genius can adjust to changing times and Sivaji Ganesan was one.

Not to forget the scene in Padayappa( Un Kalyanamthe eppidi ma nadatha poren?, death scene)

Once the famous journalist and cartoonist Madan was asked, ‘Who is the better actor, Marlon Brando or Sivaji Ganesan?’ He said, ‘Marlon Brando is an actor who delivers to perfection what the director asks of him but Sivaji Ganesan used to do more than just that, he used to analyze and add to the character and performance. So, Sivaji is greater.' Do we need to say more?

Another interesting fact is that in a survey conducted long back it was found that Sivaji Ganesan had a greater female fan following than the great M.G.R. Not because he always did emotional family subjects, but because they liked his style. If anyone still feels that the great man did more than what was required of him, then they are in the clutches of ignorance. Perceptions change with time. What was right then need not necessarily be right now and what we celebrate as acts of genius today may be ridiculed upon tomorrow. Wonder how youngsters thirty years from now will react to the patent star mannerisms, intro songs and one liners that we enjoy so much at present. The greatness of Sivaji Ganesan must never be subject to scrutiny.
