Women Helpline 1091 TAMIL CINEMA 75 - A LOOK BACK By RANDOR GUY THE AVM STORY - 65 H. M. Reddi, a pioneer of Indian Cinema, gave Prasad the break to play roles on and off the screen. In Madras Reddi made two Telugu films Tenali Ramakrishna and Gharana Donga in which Prasad played important roles on screen and also worked in the directorial departments behind the screen. However he found the going unsteady in Madras and went back to Bombay where he was associated with the great Indian stage and screen person Prithvi Raj Kapoor in his theatrical activities. Once more Madras beckoned its finger at him and during mid- 1940s he came back to Madras, this time for keeps. Prasad made a mark with Grihapravesam (1947, Telugu) in which he played the lead role too. He also completed the historic film Palnati Yuddham (1947, Telugu) when its maker, the rebel Telugu filmmaker Gudavalli Ramabramham passed away while the film was in progress. Critics acclaimed both films and hailed Prasad as a man to be watched and destined to go places in movies. And he did... Drohi (1948, Telugu) witnessed Prasad moving up the ladder. The movie highlighted the differences between the haves and the have-nots. A memorable sequence of the slum-dwellers rising in revolt and marching in protest seeking revenge against against the exploiting rich attracted considerable attention in many quarters. A stirring background song, rendered by a popular singer of that era M. S. Rama Rao, Padhandi raa...padhandi raa.. (Come on, let s go...) added punch and power to the sequence. The theme, screen story, powerful narration by Prasad, good acing and melodious music created a sensation all over the Telugu-speaking districts of the Madras Presidency. In certain quarters the film was branded as communist propaganda! Obviously engendered by certain vested interests of the Telugu film industry, Drohi was subjected to recensoring because of its alleged political inflammable content which was something new in that period of time, the late 1940s when the country was free. Indeed, there were even questions in the Madras Legislative Assembly, again a rare happening those days. However Drohi emerged unscathed and turned out to be a big hit and was critically praised. With the thumping success of Drohi, Prasad had arrived as a top filmmaker of Madras. In 1949, he directed Mana Desam, again a film with a social content, which created history in a manner. In a minor role as police inspector was introduced a handsome young man destined to create history not only in movies but also in the Indian political world, N. T. Rama Rao! Prasad soared skywards with many hits not only in Telugu and Tamil but also in Hindi and soon became a force in the Indian motion picture world. He gave breaks to many of his assistants who emerged as successful filmmakers. His list of films is long but mention should be made of some like Sahukaru (1950, Telugu), Samsaaram (1950, Telugu), Pelli Chesi Choodu (1952, Telugu, Kalyanam Panni Paar, Tamil), Manohara (1954, Tamil), Sharada (1957, Hindi), Mangayar Thilakam (1955, Tamil), Jeene Ki Rah (1969, Hindi) and Bidaai (1974). During a career spanning over forty years, Prasad received several awards,prizes and encomiums from many quarters. The most prestigious of them all was the Dada Saheb Phalke Award, the highest ever given by the Indian Government in Delhi for meritorious services to cinema.after a glorious career spanning forty years, Prasad passed away in 1994. Missiamma, which led to the Hindi version Miss Mary, was inspired by a classic Bengali comedy Manmoyee Girls School (1935) which in turn was based on one of the most famous Bengali plays written by Rabindranath Maitra. A rich man starts a school for girls and would employ only married couples as teachers. Two teachers, male and female - both single - pretend to be a married couple to get the jobs and then the fun starts! This interesting storyline has been filmed in more than one language with success.
