Page 2 TAMIL CINEMA 75 - A LOOK BACK By RANDOR GUY Tamil Cinema and Music - 24 Besides Ellam Inba Mayam, the famed MLV-P. Leela duet, other songs in Manamagal too became popular. One of them was Chinnan Chiru Kiliye, a famous song written by the Mahakavi Subramania Bharathiyar and sung by MLV and the singer-actor of yester-decades V. N. Sundaram. Many years later, Sundaram told this writer (and also on camera for this writer s TV film on MLV) that this song was recorded twice. After the first recording at a Madras City studio, NSK was not satisfied with its quality. So he had it recorded again at his favorite studio Newtone in Kilpauk, profusely apologizing to the two singers for troubling them! That was NSK! Another popular duet in the film Iru kaadhalar magizhndhe was picturised on Padmini and Sahasranamam. Not many are aware that the male voice singing this song along with MLV was that of Subbaraman himself! It was the only occasion that he sang a song in films. Subbaraman composed music for several popular movies like Leila Majnu and Devadas. It is a matter of deep regret that he passed away at a young age under somewhat sad circumstances. There were rumors at that time that his end was not natural...! Coincidentally, with Subbaraman s passing, MLV s cine market also appears to have dipped. Of course the era of Classical music in films was also fast fading away. MLV s last playback song was for Hamse Geethe, a Kannada film, in which she sings a Jayadeva ashtapadhi. THE STORY OF NANDANAR The story of Nandanar, as immortalised by Gopalakrishna Bharathi, was filmed thrice, each time with a few Carnatic music greats. Not many are aware that some legendary figures and giants of classical Carnatic music had links with Tamil cinema. They had no serious intention or aim of becoming movie stars and yet they did appear in movies. But soon they abandoned ship and, to mix metaphors, took off to greener pastures on their home turf! Some had the desire to flash on screen and but their wishes remained mere dreams. The glittering list of gems includes many legends of music and contains many surprises - Maharajapuram Viswanatha Iyer, Musiri Subramania Iyer, G. N. Balasubramaniam, Thiruvavaduthurai N. Rajaratnam Pillai, Mysore T. Chowdaiah, S. Rajam, S. Balachandar, Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavathar, Palakkad T. S. Mani Iyer, K. V. Narayanaswami, Chittoor Subramania Pillai, Kalakkad Ramanarayana Iyer, Thiruvengadu Subramania Pillai, Mangalampalli Balamuralikrishna, T. N. Seshagopalan. And, yes, even Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer. Quite a list that! And that too a male list! The first trained classical Carnatic musician to enter Tamil Cinema was Sambur Vadagarai Subbaiah Bhagavathar. He was a top stage star of his day and folks came to hear him sing accompanied by the harmonium maestro K. S. Devudu Iyer, who was the most famous harmonium-player of them all. S.V. Subbaiah Bhagavathar had a fine voice and sang with verve. His on-stage duels with the famed harmonist were a great attraction per se and drew huge crowds. SVS would sing a line of a song and Devudu Iyer would play it on his harmonium adding some touches of his own. Bhagavathar would then sing the same line once more with inspired sangathies of his own making gestures with his hands and face challenging the harmonist. And never the one to say die, Devudu Iyer would play the same line again adding more strokes which would be difficult for the human voice to reproduce with the same effect and impact! Thus the duel would go on with the same song for seemingly long unending minutes but the audiences loved it all and cheered the two wildly with glee. In fact groups would be formed supporting either Bhagavathar or Iyer! In some rich towns and villages, even bets were placed on the outcome of the battle of musical wits! The play, scene, its content and all were forgotten during these friendly duels! (To be continued) Advertise in the bazaar column for your business to boom!

Friend Varadarajan, Secretary of the Old Timers Club, wanted to find out how healthy the oldies and youngees in Anna Nagar Western Extension, the neglected part of the city, fare in the recharged stench of the city, obviously abandoned by the Corporation and the Metrowater Board, but still lying within the city about 15 kms from Poes Garden. He was concerned that he should not be caught clueless at the meeting of the Association should any sufferer pose the liquid point. Prasad, my architect-builder was prescient about what may happen to the Metrowater should the Cooum take a fancy to be an uninvited guest to its mains. So we asked him to go ahead and burrow the bowels of our own plot and we got excellent potable water which, once in a long while, would remind us that an iron tang is good for health. Thank you, Prasad for the bore-well, which is our ONLY sustenance now after the Cooum has conquered the Metro mains of this part of Amma s Chennai. From immemorial habit of two baths a day, we have learnt that the reduced luxury is not harmful and one saves a lot on toilet soap. The Cooum-mix is not lifted from our sump to the overhead tank, as it may kill the plants and the coconut trees that yield our daily kitchen needs. At the suggestion of a fellow sufferer, we are now fluidly well armed with the acquisition of bottled water sold by fly-bynight entrepreneurs who perhaps import it from some neutral country that does not shoot down our fishermen or water seekers. One good thing about these aberrations of men and nature is that, after a while, we accept what we cannot change and therefore cut our coat according to the cloth. The tailors are agog expecting a festival. CPM demands on distribution of rations Hundreds of CPM party workers staged a demonstration outside the Civil Supplies Office on Raghavaiah Road, T.
