1977 Election

Sri MGR Year 95, 30th September, Sunday

After MGR was ousted from DMK on 10th October 1972, our beloved Leader Puratchi Thalaivar MGR floated a new party on 17th October 1972, after his one week hectic tour over Tamil Nadu.

 

The party faced the first Assembly election in 1977. During 1st March 1977, ADMK Party gave the below advice to the party members how to work in the forthcoming election.

 

 

The words published in the notice are true to its core. Mass support which MGR had and how he utilized to its full potential, the real power of Revolutionary Leader MGR.

 

Note how much positive words are to used to motivate MGR’s Blood Brothers, some are Victory is Ours and இப்படை தோற்கின் எப்படை வெல்லும் there is also a line about how lavishly the DMK party spends for the election.

 

The above newspaper cutting was provided by B.S.Raju Editor Olikirathu Urimaikural Magazine.

Thaiyai Katha Thanaiyan

Sri MGR Year 95, 23rd September, Sunday

One of MGR’s super hit movie Devar Films Thaiyai Katha Thanaiyan was telecasted in Vasanth TV today. The print was not bad with lot of cuts and they had also cut short fight scenes, all fight scenes lasted for one minute.

 

MGR character name is Sekar. Below are some of the image clips from the movie Thaiyai Katha Thanaiyan.

 

  

 

Above images are the scenes were MGR gets hurt during the hunting trip and was helped by Sarojadevi. Interesting dialogue scenes are present one such is:

 

சரோஜாதேவி – உங்கள பார்த்த நல்ல வசதியானவங்கன்னு தெரியது.

எம்.ஜி.ஆர். – எப்படி கண்டுபிடிச்சிங்க?

சரோஜாதேவி – ஏன்னா அவங்கதான் தின்ன சோறு செரிக்கலைன்னு வேட்டகைக்கு போவாங்க.

எம்.ஜி.ஆர். – ரொம்ப குறும்புக்கார பெண்ணா இருக்கியே.

 

MGR Fans will get offended if the same dialogue is spoken by someone, here Sarojadevi as a village girl, utters this dialogues with absolute innocence. And MGR’s reaction resembles the same.

 

The other images are from the song “Katti Thangam”

 

 

The above images are from the dramatic scene of MGR’s mother, acted by Kannamba dislikes Sarojadevi first and then she changes her mind after understanding the facts and true nature of the heroine.

 

  

 

The above image clips are from the song “Moodi Thirantha” a lovely duet song with lot of close up scenes, we get captivated by the charm of MGR and Sarojadevi.

 

The other image the scene from village carnival were MGR’s villain Asokan along with Devar tries to kill MGR in Silambu fight (the fight was edited and shown for one minute)  and M.R.Radha congratulates MGR on his victory over Devar and Asokan.

Uzhaikum Karangal

Sri MGR Year 95, 15th September, Saturday

K.C.Films Uzhaikum Karangal movie telecasted in KTV yesterday. I was very fortunate to watch till the end. Below are the images from Uzhaikum Karangal. The print was excellent.

 

  

 

MGR character name is Rangan who is good hearted and faithful servant of Village head and also the Chairman, Thangavelu. Rangan understands that his Master is corrupt and acquires money through social service. MGR stands against his master and subsequently MGR was out casted from his master’s house.

 

Pankajam a classical dancer saves MGR and she gives the knowledge about the world. She falls in love with MGR.

 

Rangan becomes a local hero the villagers gives him respect. MGR meets his love (Latha) and marries her.

 

  

 

People turn against the Village head and they send petition to the higher officials, and the village head loses his post and grudges against MGR and Thangavelu plans to kill him during a Deer horn fight.

 

  

 

MGR does the deer horn fight with perfect timing (his age was 59! at that time, unbelievable stunts)

 

     

 

Further Thangavelu plans to steal Nataraja Idol from the temple and MGR saves with Rudra thandavam dance.

 

     

 

Thangavelu plans to loot more money from the public with help of Thengai Srinivasan and Nagesh disguised as Saints. But fate was  different Thengai Srinivasan molests Thangavelu’s sister and she tries to commit suicide, in time MGR saves her and tries to make arrangement of her marriage with Thengai Srinivasan. Thangavelu tries to kill Thengai Srinivasan but one of Thengai Srinivasan man gets killed, MGR was accused and was jailed. In the court the classical dancer tries to take up the charges but MGR persuades her.

 

Finally MGR escapes from the prison and fights against his enemies and saves Thangavelu’s son. Thangavelu changes his mind and ask MGR to take care his son.

 

Only two songs are good and unfortunately KTV has deleted the Nalai Ulagai song due to the appearance of ADMK flag. Most of the scenes MGR appears with Two Leaves symbol embed stick, but they showed it clearly.
