TAMIL CINEMA 75 -A LOOK BACKTAMIL CINEMA AND MUSIC - 51

‘Kalamegam’ remains an oddity, a paragraph in the historyof Tamil cinema, a movie in which a master of Carnatic musicfaced a movie camera with much hope and no success. Sadly,no print of this rare historic movie exists. Only some aging stillsand fading memories linger .…

M. K. THYAGARAJA BHAGAVATHARHe was the first Super Star of South Indian cinema. His

incredible following was not only among the masses but alsoamong the classes. A great favourite among the women, he wasperhaps the first film actor to achieve such popularity with amere fistful of films. Between 1934 and 1944, he was the mostsought after personality in the fields of fine arts, music andcinema in south India. His films usually ran for months andyears, and one film ‘Haridas’ (1944) established a stunningrecord by running uninterruptedly for 114 weeks in BroadwayCinema, Madras. This is a record untouched to this day, morethan half-a-century later. This movie witnessed three Deepawalifestivals in 1944, 1945 and 1946. Responsible for this successwas the matinee idol of his day M. K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar.He was no great actor, but he was an excellent musician anda singer with a rich and honey-dewed melodious voice.

A handsome man with great charisma, ThyagarajaBhagavathar became a household name in South India and isstill fondly remembered even after half century and more sincehis demise in 1959.

To this day, he has fans not only in South India but alsoaround the world wherever Tamilians and Tamil- speakingfolks live like Sri Lanka, Singapore, Malaysia, Canada, USA.Australia, England, France, Germany and others. His films‘Chintamani’ (1937), ‘Ambikapathi’ (1937), ‘Thiruneelakantar’(1940), ‘Ashok Kumar’ (1941), ‘Sivakavi’ (1943) and ‘Haridas’(1944) are unforgettable.

A Bhagavathar film meant several songs rendered by him,many of which have become immortal melodies. During hisheyday, he was a cult figure, hailed by many as the reincarna-tion of Goddess Saraswathi.

Before he conquered the world of cinema, he was a leadingstage star over whom men and women went gaga. His stageplays like ‘Pavalakodi’, were enormous hits not only in SouthIndia but in Ceylon and Burma as well.

Mayavaram Krishnamurthy Thyagarajan was born in 1910into a family of struggling goldsmiths in Trichinopoly. Hisfather, Krishnamurthy Achari, earned hardly enough to makeboth ends meet. In spite of his poverty, he sent his sonThyagarajan to school, but the boy showed little interest instudies. He was more involved in music and singing in which herevealed astonishing talent in spite of lack of proper training.

Krishnamurthy pulled his son out of school and got him towork in his workshop. The father was surprised to see crowdsflocking to the workshop and his surprise grew greater when hefound that the crowd was not of customers but people who hadcome to listen to young Thyagarajan singing!

He thereupon decided to make his son a stage actor and tookhim to the noted talent scout, impresario and theatre person-ality of Trichy, F.G. Natesa Iyer, a senior railway official whohad his own amateur troupe. It was a time when Tamil Theatrewas under the influence of the ‘Boys’ Company Movement.

Thyagarajan made his debut as Lohidasa in ‘Harishchandra’and at once created telling impact with his vibrant voice.Indeed, his performance so moved the audience that manyabused the stage parents Harishchandra and Chandramathifor causing Lohidasa so much grief! Some in the audiencethreatened to beat up the concerned actors after the show!Many threw coins on stage when he sang the sorrow-tingedsongs.

Recognizing his son’s talents, Krishnamurthy Achari nowarranged for Thyagarajan to undergo proper training in classi-cal Carnatic music. Thyagarajan received such training underleading musicians like Namakkal Raghava Ayyangar. One ofhis gurus felt that his precocious pupil was now a master ofmusic and bestowed on him the honorific ‘Bhagavathar’. AndThyagarajan came to be known henceforth as M. K. ThyagarajaBhagavathar.

(A ‘bhagavathar’ is an expert in music and musical entertain-ment.)
