On "Ulagam Sutrum Vaaliban" movie & songs

[Jilaba]

Really an amzing report about the "birth" of Ulagam Sutrum Vaaliban. Yes, as told by someone here, the shooting in foreign countries were done in 1970 only (do you remember Expo'70..?) at that time MGR was in DMK and even in 1971 election also he was there. Only in 1972 October he went out (or sent out..??).

The method of picturisation of USV only different. But the story theme is not new and it nothing but Director Ramanna's "MOONDREZHUTHTHU" released in early 1968, starred by Ravichandran & Jayalalitha.

See the main theme:

MOONDREZHUTHTHU:
--------------------------
A suitcase full of money will be buried by a man (Major) in a place, then he make a plan where it was buried, cut the plan in to three pieces and give each one to three persons living in three places (Ooty, Kanyakumari, Hyderabad) then go to jail. Then the hero (Ravi) will come from abroad, search the three pieces and finally get it. In the meantime villians also following the hero to take the plan and the wealth. One main villain will come in the last (Manohar)

ULAGAM SUTRUM VAALIBAN
----------------------------------
A suitcase (with scientific research file) will be buried in a place by one MGR, then note the place in a sheet, cut the paper in to three pieces and give each one to three persons living in three countries (Singapore, Hongkong, Bancok) and will be under the custody of villain group. The another MGR will come and search them and finally he will get it. In the meantime villains also following them to take the research file. One main villain will come in the last (Nambiar).

My goodness..

Nice to see a separate topic for Ulagam Sutrum Valiban. The whole film moves based on the thin plot, of the villains chasing MGR all over the Orient, to recover the last piece of the secret map. The film ran well because it showed places like Japan, Hong Kong, etc and, also long sequences shot at the international exhibition, Expo 70. It also had nice songs, and Manjula paired once again with MGR in this film.

Btw, thanks, Saradaa_sn, for the information reg "Moondrezhuthu" !
