MGR's Ponniyin Selvan -1958 (Unreleased)

Ponniyin Selvan  is an Unreleased 1958 Tamil Historical fiction. The movie was to be produced and directed by actor M. G. Ramachandran. The film had M.G.Ramachandran, Vyjayanthimala  and Gemini Ganesan in the lead with Padmini, Savitri, Saroja Devi, M. N. Rajam, Nagesh, T. S. Balaiah, M. N. Nambiar and O. A. K. Devar forms an ensemble cast. This was one of the first film which was an adaptation from the Kalki Krishnamurthy's Ponniyin Selvan.

Cast :

• M. G. Ramachandran as Vallavaraiyan Vandiyadevan
• Vyjayanthimala as Kundavai
• Gemini Ganesan as Arulmozhi Varman
• Padmini as Vaanathi
• Savitri as Poonguzhali
• Saroja Devi as Manimekalai
• M. N. Rajam as Nandhini
• Nagaiyah as Sundara Cholan
• T. S. Balaiah as Azhvarkadiyan
• M. N. Nambiar as Chinna Pazhuvettarayar
• O. A. K. Devar as Aditya Karikalan

The casting was made by M. G. Ramachandran who wanted to retain the lead character, Vallavaraiyan Vandiyadevan. For the Arulmozhi Varman role he choose Gemini Ganesan whose role in Veerapandiya Kattabomman is well received. For the role of Kundavai, his choice was Vyjayanthimala who was best known for her song sequel in Vanjikottai Valiban. Furthermore, actress Padmini was chosen to enact the role of Vanathi for her timing utterance of dialogues. The other star cast was selected later which consist of Savitri as Poonguzhali, Saroja Devi as Manimekalai and M. N. Rajam as Nandhini. The male dominant characters for the villainy were set by the inclusion of O. A. K. Devar for the character of Aditya Karikalan since he had the resounding voice modulation and fiery eye contacts. The celebrated villain of that time M. N. Nambiar was pitted for the character of Chinna Pazhuvettarayar and the comedy slot was allotted to T. S. Balaiah as Azhvarkadiyan with Nagaiyah playing the disabled king Sundara Cholan.

In 1958, when acting in a stage drama in Sirkazhi, M. G. Ramachandran met with an accident. The wound took six months to heal. This made many of his films to shelve such as Malai Nattu Ilavarasan, Sirikum Silai,Silambu Kugai and Thungathae Thambi Thungathae this include Ponniyin Selvan.

Aayirathil Oruvan (English: One man in a Thousand), also spelt as Ayirathil Oruvan, is a 1965 Indian swashbuckling action-adventure film in Tamil language, directed by B.R. Panthulu. Starring M. G. Ramachandran and Jayalalitha in the lead roles, the film further stars other widely known actors such as M. N. Nambiar, R. S. Manohar, Nagesh and Madhavi.

The digital conversion is done by Prasad EFX, Chennai, Divya Films Mr. Chokalingam which had earlier released the Sivaji-starrer Karnan in digital format taken more pains in digitizing the version of the movieAayirathil Oruvan .

 

All MGR Fans has put banners near all theatres in spite of the elections.All MGR Fans bursted crackers ,gave sweets and did milk abhishekam to the MGR banners.

For those who grew up watching Vathiar’s films, Aariyathil Oruvan was sheer nostalgia. For the younger generation who have not seen his films in theatres it is a one of its kind experience. It beats all the masala films of today hollow ! It is a perfect example of how a screenplay is written and how the personality of the Hero is slowly injected and this is done with great expertise. The songs are all runaway hits. The costumes match the background and the stunts are simply awesome ! MGR mesmerises audiences with his usual charm and agilty and fast movements duirng all fight and song sequences. His philosophy of life is shown in all his films and this film is no exception. The princess charming, Jayalalitha is fresh like a flower . The pair have great on screen chemistry and this is transformed right through the film. Dialogues by R.K Shanmugam have appropriate punches and one feels like hooting and clapping every 5 minutes. B.R. Panthulu’s direction is remarkable and production values are superb. The film travels along the beaches and the sea around goa and takes you to a different era altogether. It takes you through Neidhal nadu, kanni thevu the pirates Island smoothly and the story travels in three parts .

‘Aayirathil Oruvan’, true to its name is a wholesome entertainer and a must watch as it is a film to be watched on the big screen.

Only then justice can be done to the granduer, the locales, the songs and the cast.
