TAMIL CINEMA 75 -A LOOK BACK

TAMIL CINEMA AND MUSIC - 44With advancing age and changing trends in Tamil film music

under the impact of Hindi film and western music, PapanasamSivan began to move away from movies and dedicated himselfto Classical Carnatic Music. He was, though belatedly,honoured with the title ‘Sangita Kalanidhi’ by Madras MudicAcademy.

Cinema has contributed immensely to Thamizh Isai and itall began with Papanasam Sivan way back in the 1930s. Theman is no more but his music and film songs shall live forever.Man is transient but art is immortal. So is Papanasam Sivan,the “Thamizh Thyagaiah”.

V. V. Satagopan - The Forgotten HeroMovies began to talk and sing in Tamil in 1931. As early Tamil

cinema inherited the legacy of the Tamil theater, music, ormore precisely songs, dominated Tamil films. Films containedas many as fifty songs and this number was advertised withpride on posters, in song books, and elsewhere. In the bygonedecades, all films had song books which were sold at moviehouses, shops and by pavement book sellers at low prices.Today they are great sources of information and a part of filmhistory. The books gave the story in a capsule, credits ofartistes and technicians and the songs. Sometimes even theragas were mentioned. Some had even still photos which areinvaluable today. Sadly the practice of bringing out song booksdied some years ago and that important source of film historyis lost forever. Today such old film aong books are collector’sitems.

Until the late 1930s there was no voice-lending behind thescreen due to lack of necessary technical facilities for such asystem. The actor had to sing himself or herself while thecamera rolled. (In Hollywood the word ‘actor’ is used for bothsexes, thanks to Women’s Lib!).

Consequently producers sought the services of stage actorsand Classical Carnatic musicians. Thus, during the 1930s andthe early 1940s, many such musicians came into films but notmany lasted for long. The reasons were many. Firstly therewere not actors by inclination nor did they have any professionaltraining in acting. Secondly most of them were Brahmins andthey could not shed their Brahminical accent while deliveringthe dialogues! Most of them came from orthodox and tradition-bound families and the freewheeling ‘leisure-pleasure’,easygoing, fun-loving, female-filled ambience did not helpmatters! After a film or two they went back to their world ofmusic. Of course not all of them were saints but social and peerpressures forced them to keep up appearances and play thegame of social hypocrisy!

This list of noted classical male musicians includesMaharajapuram Viswanatha Iyer (one film), MusiriSubramania Iyer (one film), Thiruvavaduthurai N. RajaratnamPillai (one film), G. N. Balasubramaniam (five films). And inthat list was another musician, V. V. Satagopan. For a shortperiod he was in movies and, in spite of his handsome looks andsinging talents, stardom eluded him.

‘V.V. Satagopan, B. A.’, as he was styled in the film credits,hailed from an orthodox middle class Brahmin Ayyangar family.He had good looks and showed a flair for music even at an earlyage. Like many middle class young men of his time he went tocollege and took his B. A Degree. Besides he underwent trainingin Classical Carnatic Music and attained a good standard ofproficiency. Not surprisingly he cut gramophone records (thenknown as ‘plates’) for Columbia Recording Company. The mostsuccessful song he recorded was Saint Thyagaraja Swamigal’scomposition in raga ‘Saraswathi Manohari’ , “EnthaVedukonthu O Raghavaaa”. The disc was a best seller andindeed that song and Satagopan became synonymous! Like“Nagumomu” and Musiri Subramania Iyer!

Satagopan took his bow in movies in 1937 with a now-forgotten film ‘Navayuvan’ (Modern Youth) or ‘Geetha Saaram’.In that era Tamil films had two titles, with one in English too!As Tamil films played all over South India in that era with nosub-titles or dubbing, an English title was given to make non-Tamil moviegoers understand what the film would be all about.

By M. A. SADANANDNO HOLDS BARRED

Handsome is as handsome does, said anidle poet when he had one too many at anarrack shop.

But, without the great elixir, long-retiredChief Justice Verma of the Supreme Courtjoined me, another handsome fellow, in tell-ing the blood-thirsty inheritors of Macaulay’sPenal Code pallbearers that death is not apunishment but the logical end to life, andnone has the right to hasten it except thevolunteer who wants it, and that the State isnot that a volunteer.

Even the suicidal chap who tries to escapefrom this beautiful world would be hauled upby Macaulay’s henchmen if the chap doesnot succeed. So, Miss Delhi has, while her lifewas plucked out by byped beasts, coaxed thealmighty Government of India, founded onthe tenets of Mahatma Gandhi, Chief Jus-tice Verma and a good chap named Sadanand,to delete ‘death’ as a punishment from allstatutes in force in this country.

Justice Baghavathy came close to doing itby authoring the ‘rarest of rare murders’deserving the Indian rope trick, but not defin-ing what the rare condiment is. The greathumanist and intellectual colossus JusticeV. R. Krishna Iyer, during his innings in theSupreme Court, had no opportunity to ruleon the legality of murder by law, for I am surethat he was and is a big cut above the otherinhabitants of the billion-plus country and hewould have deleted ‘death’ from all the stat-utes extant, and prohibited it until kingdomcome. Killing is immoral whether throughrape or rope.
