September 17-23, 2011 MAMBALAM TIMES Page 5 TAMIL CINEMA 75 - A LOOK BACK By RANDOR GUY THE AVM STORY - 82 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 producer, 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. It 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 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 acting 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 had just become free. Indeed there were even questions on the film in the Madras Legislative Assembly, again a rare happening those days. However, Drohi emerged unscathed and turned out to be a big hit and also 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 he became a force in the Indian motion picture world. He gave breaks to many of his assistants like Tatineni Prakasha Rao who later 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 Ka Rah (1969, Hindi), and Bidaai (1974, Hindi). 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 Central Government in Delhi for meritorious services to India 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. Vasan purchased the rights for filming Missiamma in Hindi from Nagi Reddi but, as he did not take it up for production for many reasons, Meiyappan acquired the rights from Vasan and produced it as Miss Mary. It had Gemini Ganesh (he had played the hero in the Tamil version), Jamuna and Meenakumari as heroine.

SADANAND Rajiv s ghost haunts the legal stables of our country that has millions of learned and not so learned who have doubts about the wisdom of pushing the killers off the precipice where, after a 20-year stretch in jail, they now stand on the brink of eternity, thanks to Pratibha s cruelty in refusing Mercy, that marks her as the toughest President ever in Bharat. Amma J s legal eagles seemed to have thrown up their arms and told her that the trio awaiting the Indian rope trick in Vellore could not be saved by her after Pratibha s advisers have ordered the ropes. Fortunately, the People s Union for Civil Liberties, comprising untrumpeted legal minds who have time to read and discuss LAW in the raw, found that Amma has the right to prevent the gross miscarriage of justice by requesting the plea for mercy by the trio to be reconsidered as provided under Sections 54 of Indian Penal Code and 433 of the Criminal Procedure Code which enable the State to consider fresh petitions for commutation of death sentence to any other punishment under the IPC. The High Court s Division Bench must have discovered on its own that human rights in the abstract is not on call on the day when the Bench was moved to throw the rope into the rubbish heap but that the Constitution and the I.P.C and the Cr.P.C. have humane provisions that can prevent law being laughed at when, for one offence, two punishments are imposed, namely a 20-year free labour followed by death. No crime provides for double punishment for a single offence. Article 20 of the Constitution should be understood as en embargo against snailing for 20 years and then asking the hangman Come on, bring the rope. That would be one life sentence plus death sentence. The Division Bench saved, at least temporarily, not merely the killer trio, but also the law of the land and justice. Let this episode be the harbinger of the total abolition of the troglodite practice of tit for tat and an example of using law to humanise errant ones. Any fool can kill!
