    Thotaal poo malarum ( Padagotti )

    As usual, a song for the week end

    MGR always chose a particular set of people and played a character as part of them . For instance, in Netru indru nalai, he plays as a scavenger . We all know about Rickshawkaran, Kavalkaran, Vivasayee. Yeah, the list is countless.

    In Padagotee , he is part of a fishermen community, MGR realizes that there are subgroups within a community which hampers the progress of their main livinghood , that of catching the fish and selling it. The villain Nambiar , who is very powerful and influential makes his moves to ensure that there is no unity within the fishermen community.
    So Thalaivar takes up this onerous task of bringing togetherness by all ways and means. You can see him working very hard and tirelessly towards his pursuit of giving a good life for this set of people.
    Few scenes will even show MGR meeting some govt officials requesting them to address their concerns and will get positive response also.
    Also, some maru vesham ( one that of an old man & another as valayal vyapari ) .
    Once he even crosses over to his so called rival group as an old man and tries to bring harmony by saving their chief Ramdass. So all out efforts were made to bring unity.

    AND FINALLY HE SUCCEEDS IN HIS MISSION.

    Inbetween , he finds some very little time to chat with his lover SarojaDevi .

    So , he does not want to waste time. He runs runs and runs at high speed and finally reaches the spot where he meets SD .

    And here comes ANOTHER WONDERFUL/ DELIGHTUL/ SCINTILLATING / MINDBLOWING composition from MSV-TKR

    Thodaamal naan malarndhen
    sutaal punn sivakkum
    sudaamal kann sivandhen

    Iruvar ondraanaal , oruvar endranaal
    ilamai mudivadhillai


    Wonderful interludes ! Appadiye konjum kuralil PS Madam ! TMS patri sollavaa vendum ? Avar MGR polave vaanzdhavar allavaa !

    Maruthur Gopalan Ramachandran
    17 January 1917 - 24 December1987



    24 December 1987:
    A day etched in the memory of most Tamils worldwide and especially in the minds of fans of Puratchi Thalaivar Dr. M. G. Ramachandran.
    The day he left this material world. 19 years has passed since. But his memories remain.

    On this day, I join millions of people across the globe paying tribute to one of the greatest man who ever walked the thamizh earth.

    The height of emotional response that 'MGR' could evoke was evident when in 1987 during a critical illness, 22 people committed suicide in the hope their deaths would save him! Stories of poor people selling their blood in order to get money to see his films on first release are legendary!

    Born Marudur Gopalamenon Ramachandran in Kandy, Sri Lanka, his family moved to Tamil Nadu where they lived in poverty. When he was 6, he joined a theatre group - the Madurai Original Boys. Here he picked up acting, dancing and swordplay.

    MGR made his screen debut in Ellis R. Duncan's Sati Leelavathi (1936) but his first major breakthrough came much, much later with Rajakumari (1947).

    MGR's 1950s screen persona in adventure films constructed an image of political as well as physical invincibility. Often the themes of his films were derived from heroic ballads which are part of the oral tradition of rural Tamil Nadu. For example - Madurai Veeran (1956), one of his most popular films, is based on the legend of Madurai Veeran, a popular deity of Southern Tamil Nadu. His legend has been the subject of various ballads and plays and this was the second filmed version of the story.

    In the 1960s MGR turned to more 'realistic' fantasies mostly in a contemporary setting often playing someone from the oppressed class - a peasant, taxi driver or fisherman. For millions of fans, his image as the knight in shining armour, saving damsels in distress and being totally dutiful towards his mother was in fact a reality. Mother tongue, motherland and motherhood were what he based his popularity on. To quote M.S.S. Pandian in The Image Trap: M.G. Ramachandran in Film and Politics...

    "The social universe of the MGR is a universe of asymmetrical power.......The conflict between the upper caste/ class oppressors and MGR as a subaltern, and its resolution forms the core of the film. MGR, in the course of the conflict, appropriates several signs or symbols of authority or power from those who dominate."

    MGR used food, colour patterns (black and red, symbols of the DMK) and masquerades (often through double roles of oppressor and oppressed) to construct this universe. In Engal Thangam (1970) for example, MGR playing a truck driver Thangam, fights, sings, cares for the poor and preaches against smoking and drinking. The DMK colours - black and red are frequently featured in the clothes he wears. He even appears as himself in the opening scene at a Small Savings Function. Thangam is in the audience and even refers to him as 'vathiyar' (teacher), the reverent title by which he was known to his fans!

    MGR had joined the DMK party in 1953 and remained its member till 1972. This included a brief stint in the Madras Legislative Council from 1962 - 64, being a member of the Legislative Assembly (1967) when the party won the state elections and the DMK Treasurer (1970).

    He fell out with the DMK chief Karunanidhi and used the DMK's propaganda idiom against the DMK itself in Nam Naadu (1969). In 1972 he set up the rival Anna - DMK party claiming allegiance to the DMK's founder, the late Annadurai.

    In 1977, his party renamed the AIADMK won the state elections in alliance with Indira Gandhi's Congress party. MGR became Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and was re-elected for three consecutive terms. As Chief Minister, he organized a totalitarian crackdown on all political dissent while introducing populist schemes such as the Chief Minister's Nutritious Meal Programme.

    Having survived a bullet wound when he was shot at by fellow actor M.R. Radha in 1967 (which affected his speech), he achieved demi-god status following a paralytic stroke in 1984 which he survived for three years thus acquiring the label 'thrice born'. When he died in 1987, his funeral procession was attended by over 2 million people!

    A temple has been built in Madras with MGR as deity.
