Arivazhagan (Manoj Bharathiraja) is from Chennai and has grown up to be a good-for-nothing fellow because of the neglect and ill-treatment by the hands of his rich parents Anbu (Jai Ganesh) and Usha (Fathima Babu). Despite being a border-mark graduate, his only aim in life is to be an irritant to his father. The entire family goes to Bangalore to attend the marriage of Savitri (Richa Pallod) in Bangalore, and when the groom disappears, Arivu offers to take his place. The families agree, and Arivu waits for Savitri on the wedding stage. But Savitri also elopes, and Arivu feels betrayed. Months later, Savitri shows up at Arivu's house later, asking him to give her refuge. When he moves out of the house to take up residence with his friends, she follows him there too. Initially irritated by her, Arivu realizes that he is gradually falling in love with her.
The soundtrack of the movie was composed by A. R. Rahman. The lyrics are done by Vairamuthu and Arivumathi. 4 songs are re-used from Rahman's earlier Hindi films: Pukar, 1947 Earth and One 2 Ka 4. The soundtrack was released in 2002.[citation needed]
Although Tamil films in the early 1930s had multiple songs, some having as many as 40 or 50, Meiyappan minimised the usage of songs in Alli Arjuna as he felt "a film could be made with new faces or less expensive artistes and with lesser number of songs".[2][4]
Bharathi Raja, unable to make his son a star, desperately went outside and roped in a hot shot director (Saran) and A.R. Rahman, to see if his son's luck would change. This film was supposed to be a "make" or "break" for Manoj. But it looks as if that it will be a "break" and not a "make" for Manoj.An unconvincing story, a weak screenplay, lackluster acting and uninspiring music are not exactly the ingredients of a recipe for a successful movie.Arivu (Manoj) is a stubbord lad who doesn't see eye-to-eye with his dad. One day, thinking enough is enough, he moves out and he and his friends occupy a bungalow which used to serve as a police station. The owner runs a fast food joint.Savithri (Richa Pallod) and Manoj do not get along. How Manoj changes his opinion, falls in love with her and how they get together forms the rest of the story.Earlier, there is the incident of eve-teasing where a girl is raped in public. The culprit is brought to justice in an anaemic end.Manoj tries hard but is hopeless as a lead actor. He just does not have the presence to fill a screen. In fact, even in scenes with Richa Pallod, she comes across better than Manoj. He should try supporting roles. He will be a better fit.Richa has nothing to do other than look pretty which she does.There are no notable performances from the rest of the cast. Karan overacts as usual. The comedy sequences produce a laugh here and there.For Saran, a lesson to be learnt is that you cannot make a star out of somebody with nothing else going.Rahman's songs are mediocre, definitely not songs which will be remembered for any length of time.Bottom Line
Who can forget AVMs Vazhkai in Tamil and its Hindi equivalent Bahar? Personally I find the 1951 film quite dated but the songs are an everlasting delight. I love the Hindi version in particular with its songs by Shamshad Begum. My personal favourites are Duniya ka mazaa le lo and Saiyan dil main aana re. Vyjayanthi was superb, particularly in the dance sequences.
It cannot be said that the Rajput is content to shine in the reflectedglory of the past. In ancient times he devoted his life to makingepic history, and in these days this serves him for an ever-presenttradition from which he will draw the necessary material to add anothervolume to that history. Let him dream of the past achievements of hisrace, his ancient glory in war; let him sing the songs that he hasmade, and shake off the sloth of peace, and so rush into battle; forout of such dreams and stirring songs springs all human greatness.
In 1776 the wars of conquest still continued. Another great man arose,Ran Bahadur Sah, uncle to Pratap Simha Sah's infant son, who was onthe throne. Bahadur Sah was a man of ability, and, as Regent, decidedto subjugate the Chaobisi principalities. He conspired with the Rajahof Palpa, one of the Chaobisi states, agreeing to a division of thespoil in return for his assistance. The Gurkha-Palpa alliance wasthen formed, and nearly all the Chaobisi states were subjugated, theGurkhas keeping the lion's share. Meanwhile the Gurkha armies in theeast, under General Saroop Simha, were victorious, and the whole ofthe Rai and Limbu districts of eastern Nepal were conquered. For sometime after that they continued the extension of their rule in Sikkimand parts of Tibet. This latter invasion brought upon the Gurkhas astrong Chinese army, which utterly routed them in the year 1792. Inconsequence of this the Regent was executed by order of the infantking, who himself, on account of his later atrocities, was forced toabdicate in 1800. After some years of exile in India he returned as afirebrand to Gurkha, and died unhonoured and unmourned in 1807.
Here it was that the Gurkhas and the Highlanders rushed on togetherside by side in a memorable charge, none of them knowing the strengthand number either of the enemy or his further stockades. In theuncertain light of early dawn they drove the enemy up the hillside likechaff before the wind. For a time the Afghans fled in disorder, thensuddenly they rallied and prepared for a wild charge downhill. MajorGalbraith of the 85th Foot was the first to see their intention, andhe immediately directed the fire of his men to demoralise and checkthis movement. While he was doing this an Afghan crept up behind somebushes, and, levelling his rifle at him, took careful aim. Suddenly theMajor observed him, and, with the rapidity of lightning, raised hisrevolver and pulled the trigger. The weapon missed fire, but his promptaction had disturbed the Afghan's aim, and in another moment CaptainCook of the Gurkhas had closed with the native and flung him heavily.There was a quick fight between them, during which Major Galbraith,more fortunate this time with his revolver, sent a bullet through theAfghan's heart. For his brave act in saving the Major's life CaptainCook gained his V.C. But the nation was compelled to mourn this herovery soon, for it was in the following campaign at Sherpur, whileleading the Gurkhas, that he was mortally wounded.
On December 5th, when the stores of the Burmese left wing were broughtforward from the jungle to their foremost entrenchment in front ofRangoon, and were fairly within our reach, Sir Archibald Campbellordered a decisive attack to be made upon their army. Major Sale, withone column 800 strong, and a troop of British dragoons, who had onlybeen landed the preceding day, was directed to fall upon their centre;and Major Walker, with 500 men, was sent to make a vigorous attack ontheir left wing. The operations of these two columns of troops weregreatly facilitated by Captain Chads of the navy, who proceeded up theCreek to a point within gunshot of the rear of the enemy's line, withthe man-of-war boats and a part of the flotilla, and began a heavycannonade which distracted the attention of the Burmese and preventedtheir strengthening their front. Our two columns broke through theentrenchments, and completely routed both the centre and the left withvigorous bayonet charges; but Major Walker and a good many of hisgallant comrades fell. The loss of the Burmese was appalling; they weredriven from every part of their works into the jungle, leaving theground behind them covered with dead and wounded, with all their guns,entrenching tools, gilt umbrellas, and a great number of small arms. OnDecember 6th, Bandula tried to rally his defeated troops, and with somesuccess. On the 7th the Burmese made their last and grand attack on theGreat Pagoda, but they were beaten, driven back to their entrenchmentsby the British bayonet, and finally into the depths of the jungle.
It had been intended that the cannonade should commence at daybreak,but so heavy a mist hung over the plain and river that it was necessaryto wait. It was half-past six before the whole of the artillery wasdeveloped. Dr. Macgregor, in his "History of the Sikhs," gives agraphic description of the opening of the action. He says: "Nothingcould have been conceived grander than the effect of the batteries whenthey opened, as the cannonade passed along from the Sutlej to LittleSobraon in one continued roar of guns and mortars; while, ever andanon, the rocket like a spirit of fire winged its rapid flight highabove the batteries in its progress towards the Sikh entrenchments.Well might the Commander-in-Chief call the opening of the cannonade'most spirited and well directed.' The Sikh guns responded with shotand shell, but neither appeared to do much execution; the latter wereseen bursting in mid-air ere they reached the British batteries, whilesome of the shot passed over Rhodawala, and struck the ground infront of General Gilbert's division. It now became a grand artilleryconcert, and the infantry divisions and brigades looked on with acertain degree of interest, somewhat allied, however, to vexation,lest the artillery should have the whole work to themselves. TheCommander-in-Chief, however, was determined to give full play to an armwhich he had not possessed to an efficient extent in other hard-foughtbattles. It was reported that the guns were to play for four hours atleast; but there is some reason to believe that the rapid firing hadnearly exhausted the ammunition before half that time had elapsed,and it was once more to be proved that the British Infantry were notto remain mute spectators of a battle. 'Notwithstanding,' wrote theCommander-in-Chief, 'the formidable calibre of our guns, mortars, andhowitzers, and the admirable way in which they were served, and aidedby a rocket battery, it would have been visionary to expect that theycould have silenced the fire of seventy pieces behind well-constructedbatteries of earth, planks, and fascines, or dislodge troops coveredeither by redoubts or epaulements or within a treble line of trenches.'"
