4 Page 4 MAMBALAM TIMES November 1-7, 2014 TAMIL CINEMA 75 - A LOOK BACK By RANDOR GUY G. RAMANATHAN witnessed the peak of success for G. Ramanathan and the film Thookku Thookki, was indeed his career best. In this film, his music touched rare heights of melody, rhythm and excellence and almost all its songs became hits and some became immortal melodies of Tamil Cinemawhich are still popular. After more than half a century, those tunes are remembered, heard, and hummed by millions of Tamilians wherever they live around the globe. Before taking an in-depth look at the various songs Ramanathan composed for this film, it will be interesting to take a look at the production back-story (a familiar Hollywood expression translated as pin kathai in Tamil!) which created movie history in more ways than one. Thookku Thookki was a popular folk tale and stage play in Tamil Nadu. It was brought to the screen for the first time in 1935 by the famous Madurai-based Rayal Talkie Distributors with the movie pioneer R. Prakash directing it and handling the camera. Noted star of that era C. V. V. Panthulu played the title role with the star of yester-decades, known as Stunt Queen, K. T. Rukmini in the female lead. K. N. Kamalam and Clown Sundaram formed part of the cast. R. M. Krishnaswami (RMK), then a young, talented camera assistant, was working with Prakash. This film was embedded in his mind. He turned producer in the 1950s with his Aruna Films and made his directorial debut with Rajambal. He took up Thookku Thookki as his next production, which turned out to be the biggest success of his career. (This writer knew RMK well and worked with him on some of his Malayalam movie projects in the script department. For a while, both worked on a thriller screenplay with MGR to be cast as hero but for many reasons the production had to be shelved because MGR was not available for RMK on the latter s terms! RMK was a tough guy and among his intimate circles he was known as Murattu Krishnaswami!) The tale of Thookku Thookki was all about five maxims: 1. A father cares only for the riches earned by his son. 2. Only a mother stands by the son through thick and thin. 3. A sister values her brother only for the gifts he brings her. 4. A wife should never be relied upon since she will even murder her husband. 5. Lastly, a friend in need is always a friend indeed. A prince (Sivaji Ganesan) listens to the maxims in a religious discourse and sets out to prove them wrong. He undergoes several adventures and finds more than a grain of truth in the maxims. Sivaji as the hero came up with a fine performance while T.S. Balaiah, in the role of a North Indian Seth, was superb. The scenes featuring Balaiah speaking Sowcarpet Tamil with his mistress (Lalitha, the hero s wife) were entertaining. What elevated this film to great success was its scintillating music composed by G. Ramanathan. The lyrics were by A. Marudhakasi, Thanjai Ramaiah Das and Udumalai Narayana Kavi. An interesting back-story about the song composing: Udumalai Narayana Kavi based in Coimbatore reached Madras by the Blue Mountain Express on the morning of the day scheduled for the song composing and recording. He was to return by the same train from Central Station around eight in the night. In less than 12 hours, Narayana Kavi wrote five of the eight songs which were composed immediately by G. Ramanathan, rehearsed by T. M. Soundararajan and others,and sung and recorded. An amazing feat of creativity, it vouches for the musical genius of G. Ramanathan, the poetic talent of Narayana Kavi and the captivating singing of TMS. Many of the songs rendered by Soundararajan became popular and it was this film that laid the foundation for his glorious career. Female singers M. L. Vasanthakumari, M. S. Rajeswari, P. Leela and A. P. Komala also contributed to the richness of the music. Noted singer and actor V. N. Sundaram lent his voice to one of the songs along with TMS and others. Now for the songs in detail (To be continued) If anything interesting is happening in your neighbourhood please inform Mambalam Times. Installs bus-stop shelter in memory of wife 67-year-old T. R.

Sriram contributed Rs. 4.5 lakhs towards cost of the project. The civic body provided him space to display a portrait of his wife along with a few words from her poem.

Corporation likely to revise property tax Chennai Corporation is planning to link property tax with the current guideline values, instead of old base rates finalised in This is likely to increase the property tax rates across the city. Following complaints from residents pertaining to anomalies and inconsistencies in the base rates, the civic body is planning to request the State government to amend the Chennai City Municipal Corporation Act to revise the property tax every year based on current guideline values. The civic body continues to calculate property tax based on the annual rental value of a property and on base rates fixed 16 years ago. With the Chennai Corporation considering a proposal to revise property tax rates on the basis of current guideline values, residents wonder what the impact on their expenses will be. Some neighbourhoods in the recently-added areas of Chennai Corporation pay the same property tax as those in well-developed areas such as T. Nagar that fetch high rental values, experts said, pointing to anomalies. Residents of such neighbourhoods with low guideline values pay the same amount of property tax as neighbourhoods with high guideline values every half year. A chunk of the 11 lakh residential and commercial properties which have relatively lower property tax rates are within the old city limits. The civic body will map all such roads to asses the loss of revenue because of the existing system. Based on a study, the civic body will rationalise and revise property tax rates. Property tax is around 30 per cent of the total revenue of the civic body. The increase in property tax collection is likely to result in a rise in per capita capital expenditure. Chennai spends less than Rs per resident, much lower compared to developed cities.
