4 Page 4 MAMBALAM TIMES April 20-26, 2013 TAMIL CINEMA 75 - A LOOK BACK By RANDOR GUY TAMIL CINEMA AND MUSIC - 51 Kalamegam remains an oddity, a paragraph in the history of Tamil cinema, a movie in which a master of Carnatic music faced a movie camera with much hope and no success. Sadly, no print of this rare historic movie exists. Only some aging stills and fading memories linger. M. K. THYAGARAJA BHAGAVATHAR He was the first Super Star of South Indian cinema. His incredible following was not only among the masses but also among the classes. A great favourite among the women, he was perhaps the first film actor to achieve such popularity with a mere fistful of films. Between 1934 and 1944, he was the most sought after personality in the fields of fine arts, music and cinema in south India. His films usually ran for months and years, and one film Haridas (1944) established a stunning record by running uninterruptedly for 114 weeks in Broadway Cinema, Madras. This is a record untouched to this day, more than half-a-century later. This movie witnessed three Deepawali festivals in 1944, 1945 and Responsible for this success was the matinee idol of his day M. K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar. He was no great actor, but he was an excellent musician and a singer with a rich and honey-dewed melodious voice. A handsome man with great charisma, Thyagaraja Bhagavathar became a household name in South India and is still fondly remembered even after half century and more since his demise in To this day, he has fans not only in South India but also around the world wherever Tamilians and Tamil- speaking folks live like Sri Lanka, Singapore, Malaysia, Canada, USA. Australia, England, France, Germany and others. His films Chintamani (1937), Ambikapathi (1937), Thiruneelakantar (1940), Ashok Kumar (1941), Sivakavi (1943) and Haridas (1944) are unforgettable. A Bhagavathar film meant several songs rendered by him, many of which have become immortal melodies. During his heyday, he was a cult figure, hailed by many as the reincarnation of Goddess Saraswathi. Before he conquered the world of cinema, he was a leading stage star over whom men and women went gaga. His stage plays like Pavalakodi, were enormous hits not only in South India but in Ceylon and Burma as well. Mayavaram Krishnamurthy Thyagarajan was born in 1910 into a family of struggling goldsmiths in Trichinopoly. His father, Krishnamurthy Achari, earned hardly enough to make both ends meet. In spite of his poverty, he sent his son Thyagarajan to school, but the boy showed little interest in studies. He was more involved in music and singing in which he revealed astonishing talent in spite of lack of proper training. Krishnamurthy pulled his son out of school and got him to work in his workshop. The father was surprised to see crowds flocking to the workshop and his surprise grew greater when he found that the crowd was not of customers but people who had come to listen to young Thyagarajan singing! He thereupon decided to make his son a stage actor and took him to the noted talent scout, impresario and theatre personality of Trichy, F.G. Natesa Iyer, a senior railway official who had his own amateur troupe. It was a time when Tamil Theatre was under the influence of the Boys Company Movement. Thyagarajan made his debut as Lohidasa in Harishchandra and at once created telling impact with his vibrant voice. Indeed, his performance so moved the audience that many abused the stage parents Harishchandra and Chandramathi for causing Lohidasa so much grief! Some in the audience threatened to beat up the concerned actors after the show! Many threw coins on stage when he sang the sorrow-tinged songs. Recognizing his son s talents, Krishnamurthy Achari now arranged for Thyagarajan to undergo proper training in classical Carnatic music. Thyagarajan received such training under leading musicians like Namakkal Raghava Ayyangar. One of his gurus felt that his precocious pupil was now a master of music and bestowed on him the honorific Bhagavathar. And Thyagarajan came to be known henceforth as M. K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar. (A bhagavathar is an expert in music and musical entertainment.) (To be continued) Sita Rama Kalyana Mahotsavam next Sunday Under the auspices of Vasudeva Satsang, Vaibhavam Bhagavad group will perform Sri Sita Rama Kalyana Mahotsavam on Sunday, April 28, from 7.30 a.m to noon at 35A, Vasudevapuram Street, West Mambalam.

Nagar) on April 19, on the occasion of Rama Navami. T. Thiruvalluvan (Founder) told Mambalam Times that the Baba statue was sculpted in Jaipur. Devotees can have darshan on all days from 8 a.m to noon and from 5 p.m to 9 p.m. Scorching summer, blooming trees Yellow is the colour of the season. One cannot miss the avenue trees in full bloom. The copper pod trees (Peltophorum pterocarpum) shed their flowers this time of the year and turn the area into a yellow carpet. This photo taken at around 11 a.m on April 17 shows the shed flowers of the copper pod tree presenting a pretty picture as they lie scattered on the pavement of Bubbiliraja Salai, K.K. Nagar. According to botanists, the flowering pattern of most trees has been bountiful even though rain has played a spoilsport. Summer in Chennai for many is scorching heat, but for the trees it is the glorious flowering time. Most of the trees in the city bloom from March to June and some of the prominent ones are the garish red shades of gulmohar, African tulip, flame of the forest and yellow shades of copper pod. For conservancy workers, it however, means more work. The fall is too much this year. I have just swept and see how they are falling, complained a Chennai Corporation worker on Usman Road, T. Nagar.
