Ulagam Sutrum Valiban returns

Emgeeyar Pictures "Ulagam Sutrum Valiban" is to be re-released next month after the dispute. The movie is going to be released by Diamond Pictures.

We were expecting Ulagam Sutrum Valiban release earlier in May then to June and then to July end or August first week then the unsettled dispute made a huge blow to the release of Ulagam Sutrum Valiban. But finally Raj and Murugan will hit the silver screen soon and the wait is worth.

MGR starrer Ulagam Sutrum Valiban is enhanced visually to digital and changed to Cinemascope.

The movie songs also enhanced to DTS quality, some of the scenes in the movie are re-edited for CGI inclusion particularly climax scene. Further re-release with re-mastered in the pipe line are Emgeeyar Pictures "Nadodi Mannan" and "Adimai Penn".

Rajakumari - Blast from the past

This image was taken from The Hindu an article about Old memorable movies. This week it was about MGR’s first Hero movie “Rajakumari”. Randor Guy is well known writer about yester year movies.

There was no mention about Kalaignar. This was the first movie of MGR and Kalaignar combo.

To hold the position of Hero MGR had told lot in his Biography “Nan Yen Piranthan”. When the producer wished to replace MGR with P.U.Chinnappa and when someone with a long hair i.e. Bhagavathar hair style goes to meet the Producer, there was rumour that MGR was to be replaced. Each and every people of the set will look at MGR sadly. That this is the last day for MGR as Hero. Think how a personality like MGR suffered this torture.

After looking into the movie I feel that MGR’s action remained the same to his last movie, movement of his hands, gestures, smile etc., he has lightly changed the dialogue delivery. Maybe because it is 1947.
