Every year release but still a hit

Sri MGR Year 94, 23rd March, Wednesday

 

MGR Devotee Sailesh Basu has forwarded an article from access kollywood website. The article is about MGR re-release of Nadodi Mannan.

 

The article is given below:

 

It is ages since Puratchi Thalaivar left film industry and it’s almost a quarter century since he left for his heavenly abode. But his films still have the same attraction and his popularity among the movie going public has not waned one bit. It’s about Nadodi Mannan which is released in some of the Chennai theatres and suburbs. The film is running to packed houses in these theatres and some of them are even having 4 shows a day. Nadodi Mannan has also stood up to the technical development of the industry in the sense that digital prints of the film are being released these days. The name MGR would never ever fade from the Tamil speaking land.

 

The original appears in access kollywood website.
