Maragatham (1959)
RANDOR GUY
Maragatham.
Sivaji Ganesan, Padmini, S. Balachandar, Sandhya, T.S. Balaiah, T. S. Durairaj, J. P. Chandra Babu, O.A.K. Thevar, P. S. Gnanam, T. P. Muthulakshmi, Lakshmirajam, Lakshmiprabha, M. R. Santhanam, ‘Ennathey' Kannaiah and Lakshmirajam-‘Baby' Sacchu (dances)
Based on an interesting crime thriller by T.S.D. Sami, the film has a sub-title ‘Karunkuyil Kunrathu Kolai' within brackets.
Totally fiction, the title was obviously inspired by the sensational ‘Karunkuzhi Parcel Murder Case', though the content was completely different.
The film was well-directed by the Coimbatore movie mogul, S.M. Sriramulu Naidu who made many memorable movies such as Jagathalaprathapan, Pavalakodi, Kannika and Malaikallan. His studio in Coimbatore, Pakshiraja, was a hive of activity during the 1940s-1950s. The screenplay was by Naidu himself and the dialogue was by Murasoli Maran.
Maragatham narrated the happenings of a rich zamindari family in which the maharaja is murdered and the crime foisted on his innocent brother (Balachandar) and his lovely wife (Sandhya, Jayalalitha's mother). The wife waits for her husband who had escaped from prison. She pines for her daughter (Padmini) who is believed dead. Not knowing Padmini is her daughter, Sandhya saves her life in a boat accident and the girl comes to live with her. Noted comedian of Tamil cinema of yesteryear T. S. Durairaj plays the interesting role of the villain planning the murder, but the real killer is Balaiah. The prince (Ganesan) falls in love with his sister's daughter without knowing who she is!). Ultimately as it always happens in movies, the truth is revealed, the killers are exposed, the parted couples and the young lovers are united, and all's well that ends well.
Balachandar excels with an underplayed performance, while Sivaji Ganesan and Padmini make a delightful pair. Ganesan is a treat to watch in the guise of a servant who tries to find out the truth behind the murder. Chandra Babu as the lovelorn butler is his usual comic self. Sandhya is lovely and plays her role well.
The film had excellent sets (A. K. Sekhar) and the outdoor locations were picturesque. The cinematography by Sailen Bose was fine. S. M. Subbaiah Naidu's music was catchy, with one song, (a duet between Chandra Babu and Jamuna Rani) ‘Kunguma poovey konjum puraavey', becoming a hit — the song is popular even after half a century. Maragatham sustains interest even after five decades, and is worth watching even today.
Remembered for: excellent on-screen narration and direction by Naidu, impressive performances by Sivaji Ganesan, Padmini, Balachandar and Durairaj, and tuneful music.

THUNBAM NERGAYIL - OR IRAVU
RANDOR GUY

Penned in a night: Ore Iravu
Starring: K. R. Ramasami, A. Nageswara Rao, T. K. Shanmugham, B. S. Saroja, Lalitha, T. S. Durairaj, T. S. Balaiah, and T. P. Muthulakshmi
At his disciple Ramasami's request, Annadurai sat up one night and wrote a play and at dawn, it had been written to the last scene with hardly any corrections! The time-frame too was a single night and narrated the events taking place on that night. The hero wore only one costume right through! Hence, for more than one reason Anna titled the play, Ore Iravu!
AV. Meiyappan met Anna who agreed to write the screenplay and dialogue for Rs. 10,000. A week later, he came to the AVM Studio and stayed at No. 10 (Meiyappan's office, now renovated and modernised!). Seated on a mat at a desk without legs, Anna wrote the screenplay, while the dark hours of the night ticked away. When Meiyappan and Neelakantan called on him the next morning they found the Ore Iravu script ready and written on 300 sheets of paper.
Meiyappan gave Pa. Neelakantan the break he had been waiting for and with Ore Iravu began his long and successful career as filmmaker with several box-office hits.
Ramasami played the same role he had played on stage. The story is about a thief, the illegitimate son of a rich zamindar (Shanmugham) who had seduced the mother (Saroja). Poverty drives him to take to stealing. Indeed Anna dealt with the eternal problem of “the haves and the have-nots” in this film. He did this in his Velaikari too. In an interesting turn of events, the thief breaks into his father's house at night when his stepsister (Lalitha) is about to commit suicide! Of course, one is not aware of the real identity of the other.
Lalitha played the zamindar's daughter and Akkineni Nageswara Rao, her lover.
Others in the cast included noted screen villain and character actor T. S. Balaiah as the blackmailer, well-known comedian T. S. Durairaj, and yesteryear star B. S. Saroja.
Ore Iravu had many songs and in true AVM fashion, a dance drama “Shiv-Shakthi”. The dancers were Lalitha-Padmini, and Kumari Kamala (‘Baby' Kamala, now a young woman!). It had a Tamil folk dance (Kurathi dance) too. Interestingly for this dance, a song rendered by M. L. Vasanthakumari, “Ayya Sami... avoji sami...ayya rayyaa vayyaa you comeayaaa...!”, adapted from a popular Hindi film song, “Gorey...gorey...”, was used and it turned out to be a hit. The dancer was a noted starlet — Lakshmikantham.
One of the songs which became popular was “Tunbam nergayil nee.....” It was penned by none other than Bharathidasan (pseudonym of Kanaka Subburatnam, voices V. J, Varma and M. R. Rajeswari.)
T. K. Shanmugham also contributed a song written earlier and used by him in one of the TKS Brothers' plays. “Enga naadu...ithu enga naadu...!” was about India and the problems the country faced.
A song by Bharathiar, “Kottu murasey...kottu murasey...!” also found place and was rendered by K. R. Ramasami and T. S. Bhagavathi.
Ore Iravu was released in April 1951 with much expectation what with the AVM banner, Annadurai's script based on his hit play, dance dramas and melodious music but, it did not do well.
Remembered for: Annadurai's interesting storyline and dialogue, impressive performances by Ramasami and good music (R. Sudarsanam)
