September 24-30, 2011 MAMBALAM TIMES Page 5 TAMIL CINEMA 75 - A LOOK BACK By RANDOR GUY THE AVM STORY - 83 Meenakumari (1933-1972), hailed as one of the best actresses of Indian Cinema, came from a family of theatrical background, her father Ali Bux being a stage actor and mother Iqbal Begum a dancer. Named Mahajhabeen, she entered movies to support the family as a child actress under the name Baby Meena in 1939. Renamed Meenakumari, she blossomed as an excellent actress of tragic serious roles and showed a wide range including comedy. Her complicated private life influenced her screen persona and urged her to write and publish poetry. She created memorable roles in costume and period films like Baiju Bawra (1952), Azad (1955), Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam (1962), Chitralekha (1964), and Pakeezah (1971). Sadly she did young when she was barely 40. In 1957, Meiyappan scored one of his finest triumphs with Bhabhi, the Hindi remake of Kula Deivam. It was a major success of the year and enjoyed long runs in many States of northern India including Punjab where normally heavy melodrama did not always find favour with folks! In Calcutta, it had an astonishing run of 54 weeks at Roxy cinema. The issue of widow remarriage evoked empathy in family audiences contributing to the grand success of the film. Meiyappan introduced the directors of the Tamil version, Krishnan-Panju, to Hindi cinema with Bhabhi. The excellent actor and Hindi film star, Balraj Sahni, played the elder brother. Pandari Bai played the same role as his wife and her performance was highly impressive. Balraj Sahni (1913-1973) was a person of varied talents and skills. Writer, poet, journalist, college lecturer, and brilliant stage and screen star, he is considered one of the best actors of India. A Leftist by conviction, he wrote Hindi fiction and, after an impressive career on stage, he came into cinema with Dharti Ke Lal (1946). His convincing performance as the struggling, starving, land-less farmer in the Indian neo-realistic classic, Bimal Roy s Do Bigha Zamin (1953) brought him stardom and undying fame. His fame soared high with Garam Coat (1955), Sone Ki Chidiya (1958), Kabuliwala (1961), Haqeeqat (1964), and Garam Hawa (1973). A champion of the underdog, he was a highly respected figure of Indian Cinema. The young widow in Bhabhi was played by the noted Hindi film star Nanda. Daughter of the one of the important personalities of Indian Cinema and celebrated Marathi star and trend-setting filmmaker Master Vinayak, Nanda had begun as a child actress and made her way to stardom. 1957 was a historic year for Meiyappan. He produced three Hindi films and the third film brought him not only fame and name but also proved memorable - a time to cherish in his memory and recall with justifiable pride and pleasure. Interestingly, the third film of 1957 which gave so much joy to him was a children s film, Hum Panchi Ek Dal Ke - an unusual genre for him and AVM Studios! It created history as the first film to win the Indian Prime Minister s Gold Medal for the Best Children s Film. The children s film in India is a sadly neglected genre. Considering that the country has been producing for many years nearly a thousand films annually, the number of films for children continues to be pitifully negligible. Private producers have not shown interest in this kind of films due to the stark fact that such films are not commercially viable. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of independent India, was fond of children and they too loved him and affectionately called him Chacha Nehru. He realized the need for films exclusively made for kids and he was also pragmatic enough to understand that film producers would not venture into that area for economic reasons. Consequently, under his inspired guidance, the Government of India established The Children s Film Society (CFS). At first it was headed by politicians who had no interest or involvement in such cinema. Later, film world persons like stars Kamini Kaushal, Amol Palekar and Jaya Bacchan and the famous filmmaker V. Shantaram have headed the Society but the track record has been rather dismal and barely satisfies the need for such films. Meanwhile, the children of India have to look to the West for such movies.

SADANAND Every evening, when I switch on the TV, I straightaway land on Asianet in spite of its generous lard of the good things of the market without which one feels lost in this bountiful and beauty-filled world and feel honoured that the goodies of life are brought before me as though I am in a fabulous supermarket which I have heard of but never shopped in. One paint company has made a vow to spread sunshine and colour in the lives of the viewers by showing an old decrepit man, a retired teacher, going to seed sitting on the steps of his house, when an old student approaches him. The chap bows and touches his feet whereupon the oldie says, I am old and so is my house. The rich-looking young man immediately promises to take care of both. And he does it with the special brand of paint which makes his house sparkle. The oldie, overwhelmed by happiness, travels back 20 years. How wonderful! He must have been a humane, loving teacher who had made even the most fractious student attend his class. I did not have such a good fortune in my 8th standard in the rural high school where I studied before defecting to Madras. Chandu Mash, my class teacher with a gruff exterior, was the biggest customer of cane sticks, in the wielding of which he was miles ahead of the rest of the teacherdom. One bad morning he threw a challenge, What is the opposite of big?. After 20 petrified mouths gaped and the cane did yeomen service by its swish proving its worth, he had a ghost of a smile as though he had won a bet that not even one of the students deserved to be in his class. My turn came and, after a silent vow to break ten coconuts at the local Bhagavathi temple, I took a dozen breaths and spluttered Small. He appeared shocked, but the cane did not meet my palm and continued its sway until 39 other palms were seared. Bhagavathi got her 10 plus 2 coconuts as bonus that evening and Chandu Mash became my hero. When, at the end of the school year, I joined the M.C.C. in Madras, his was the only face I remembered and still remember at my 78-plus age. He must have gone to his Maker without the help of a paint company or a once beaten student. Looking for qualified staff for your office?
