Ph: TAMIL CINEMA 75 - A LOOK BACK By RANDOR GUY THE AVM STORY - 62 After scripting many hits like Ethirpaaraathathu (1954), Amara Deepam (1956), Maadhar Kula Manickam (1956, adapted from the famous Rabindranath Tagore novel, Nauka Dubi (The Wreck), Uthamaputhiran (1958, adaptation of the noted Alexandre Dumas French novel and successful Hollywood movie, The Man In The Iron Mask (1939), Sridhar graduated to film direction. He joined the then newly formed film company Venus Pictures as partner and directed his first film based on his own script Kalyana Parisu (1959, Tamil). A love triangle, it was a roaring success launching Sridhar as a filmmaker of merit and box-office potential with a slam-bang impact. It had Gemini Ganesh, multi-lingual top star, B. Saroja Devi and talented actress - good in tragic and emotional roles - C. R. Vijayakumari in the main roles. Interestingly, a parallel comedy plot with the famed comedy star K. A. Thangavelu and M. Saroja (his wife in private life) proved a big hit with moviegoers. The audio cassettes of the comedy scenes ( known as track ) proved a best-seller and continues to be popular even after fifty-plus years today. An interesting sidelight on moviegoers tastes in India! Sridhar soon promoted his own production unit Chitralaya which forged ahead to be a successful and noted film company with many hits in its portfolio. He hit big time and created film history with Nenjil Oar Alayam (1962, Tamil). Again a melodramatic love triangle, involving a doctor, his former sweetheart, and her sick husband, now his patient, the film had many interesting features. It was shot in the claustrophobic sets of a private nursing home, and the indoor photography was brilliant with camera angles never before seen in South Indian Cinema. The man behind the camera was Aloysius Vincent, one of the finest painters with light in Indian Cinema. The main players were Kalyankumar, an import from Kannada Cinema and excellent actor, a new face from the stage and soon to be star R. Muthuraman, and the star in the making C. A. Devika. The film was shot in less than thirty days, a record for that day in Indian Cinema and it raised many eyebrows! Another new find in the movie was Nagesh who later ruled over the Tamil Cinema as ace comedian and character actor for over two decades. Another major plus factor responsible for the enormous success of the film was the melodious music composed by the famous duo Viswanathan-Ramamurthy. Many songs became hits and are remembered and hummed to this day. After this sensational success, Sridhar forged ahead to be a force in Indian Cinema. His major hits include Dil Ek Mandir (1963, Hindi remake of Nenjil Oar Alayam ), Kathalikka Neramillai (1964, Tamil), Vennira Aadai (1965, Tamil, which introduced the cult figure, clout-plus political leader and former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Jayalalitha to Tamil Cinema. ), Pyar Kiye Jaa (1966, Hindi remake of Kathalikka Neramillai ), Urimai Kural (1974, Tamil), Seetha Geetha Daatithey (1977, Telugu) and several others. Bhai Bhai was essentially a family melodrama of two brothers and the interesting and unusual element was that it is the elder brother who goes astray abandoning his loving dutiful wife and the younger brother brings him back to even keel and to the family fold to live happily thereafter. In India, especially in Hindu joint families, the first born eldest brother enjoys a special status and stature, and so does his wife. Once the father dies, the eldest brother becomes the pater familius and rules over the family. His word is law and others have to implicitly follow him. However, in recent years, with the break-up of the joint family system due to many reasons, sociological, economical, impact of western culture, mores and life style and others, the situation is different.
