Idhu Oru Manidhani Kadhai Alla - Oru Nadikannin Kadhai
PRAKASH2
For past few months there is no news about Tamil films or about film
personalities. Here I post about a Well Known Tamil Actor.
Yes, Idhu Oru Manidhanin Kadhai Alla - Oru Nadikannin Kadhai.
I myself decide to give you all this Mallarum Ninaivugal. When he gave his
MN in DD he title it "Netru, Indru, Indru". This was happened in 1980. I
think this actor's carrier is started before some of us born; that is his
carrier as a Man. Even his carrier starts before I born.
I think it was 1958 or 1960 ( I am not sure), a very popular producer
went to a marriage. He saw a boy who is so cute and very mischief. He
asked him "Thambi, en padhathila Nadikiraya?", athuku andha paiyan
"Ennku,Pomeranian nai vangi thanthingana Nadikiren" apidinu sonnan. That
producer agreed with him and he acted in that film. (clue 1)
Again that boy made one record he was the first kid acted double role.
Then that boy acted in some more films. After that he joined in Hindu
School - Triplicane, Madras. (Clue 2).
He is not good in his studies, he was much interested in Dance, Drama
etc. So his mother took him to great drama actor T.K.Shanmugam. There he
learnt a lot. Today this actor is telling that it was a University Of
Arts for him. (clue 3).
In early 70s he started acting in the movies. He acted as a supporting
artists. Who acted with him his first film when he was a child artists
also acted in that movie. He only recommended our man to this film.
Actually so many child artists acted in that movie after they become
elder. They are Kutti Padmini, Master Sridhar etc. But now our man only
the famous actor through out the country. (clue 4).
After that movie (ok. I will tell the name of the film "Kurathi Magan") he
did not get any chance.
Then he joined as a assistant dance master to Mr.Dhangapan (clue 5. Now
Netters may now find out our man).
Mr.Dhangappan was famous dance master, even big actors also call him
'Master'. Mr.Dhangappan directed the film "Annai Vellankanni". Our man
assisted him in the direction area too. He acted as Jesus Christ in that
film ( now Netters surly find out who This actor is).
Still he was working a assistant dance master. He was the dance master for
MGR's film, "Nan En Prianden". After seeing him, MGR told our man "Enna
Thambi Eppadi Ellachu irukkinga, Nan sila Exercise soli tharen adhai
dhinamum saiyunga". There it self MGR taught him some exercises.
Still our man doing those exercises and still he look like a youth. When
he was working for a film (I don't know the film's name) in which the
actor who recommended him for his first movie, Nam allai parthu acharya
paththu "Ennada Madiya, entha valaiellam saiyara?" appidinar, Unde namma
alloo "Enna Sir saiyardhu, chance kidaikaliye" appidinu sonnar. Athuku
avar "Sarida, KB oru pudhu allu venum sonnar, avar kitta unai recomand
pannaren" appidnu soli he took him to KB's house. After seeing him KB put
him as a Villan in his film "Arenketram". Actually he is not a villain in
that movie, he ignored his elder sister because of her character. Now you
all should know who is this person.
Then he acted in lot of KB's movies. What he told our man "Unnal Mudiyum
Kamal , Unnal Mudiyum" appidi solli namkku oru nalla actor kidaika vazhi
vaguthar. We have to thank KB. Kamalluku Naai vangi tharadha sonnavar
Thiru. AVM avargal. Kamaloda mudhal mudhala act pannavar Mr.' Gemini'
Ganesan. He acted as a father in the first film. He also acted in Kamal's
first movie as a teenager or a manly character.
As I told in KB's MN, Kamal acted in his all movies form " Arenketram" to
"Nool VEli" without any break. There was a break started after 47
Natkkal. KB only give him a character role in "Aval Oru Thodar Kadhai". He
acted in the same character in Malayalam, Telugu, Bengali, Oriya. He
didn't act in Hindi version. He acted as a bus conductor in Kanada
Version, that is the only movie he acted with Suhasini.
His first film was "Kalathur Kannama", His 100th film was "Raja Parvai".
He got twice National Award for Best Actor. No other Tamil film
personality got twice. He won Filmfare award for 14 times. He is not only
popular in Tamil, but also in Telugu, Malayalam, Kannadam and Hindi. As
you know he is a good singer too. His first song is in the film
"Andharangam" and the song is "Naiyiru Olli Mazhaiel Thingal Kullika
Vandhal". Mr. Sp. Muthuraman utilised him fully. He started acting
different kinds of roles after "16 Vayadhinile". Then also he acted as a
routine hero in many movies. Mr. G.N. Rangarajan again srike back. He gave
us "Palyana" Raman in "Kalyana Raman". His ambition is changed after "Raja
Parvai" only. Then he started acting only different kinds of charactars.
Sagala Kala Vallavan allava avar, mostly he never used dups. So, he met
with more accidents. I can't agree for his award for Moondram Pirai and
Nayagan. Because, the climax of Moondram Pirai made only for him, actually
Sri Devi dominates that film at the climax only Kamal did well. I can't
tolerate that a head master was afraid of police in that film. He can
straight away talk to Sri Davi's parents in that film. Then in Nayagan,
very sorry he over acted in few scenes like Ravi's death and while talking
to Kiruthika.
He should be given awards for 16 Vaydhinile, Raja Parvai, Maha Nadhi,
Devar Magan,Guna, Kokila (Kanadam), Avargal, Marocharithra (Telugu),
Sagara Sangaman ( Telugu), Swathi Muthiyam ( Telugu). He should get awards
for his novel ideas like Appu's role in Apporva Sagothararkal and Mikel,
Madhana, Kama, Rajan. He did all the 4 roles not only in a different
style but also all roles in a single frame. No other actor did this in the
Indian Film Industry He should get national awards for all the films for
which he got Filmfare award.
Recently Kamal produced and acted in Kurudhippunal. Which came for Oscar
from India. It his fifth film came for Oscar Nomination. Other films are
Nayagan, Sagar, Sagara Sangamam, Devar Magan. Now he is working in the
film Indhiyan.Hope the best from Kamal soon.
Some of the distinct roles by Kamal, Deaf and Dumb in Uyarthavargal,
Physically Handicapped in 16 Vayadhinile,
Blind Man in Rajaparvai, Ventriculisar in Avargal, Mimicry Performer in
Aval Oru Thodar Kathai, Mentally Upset person in Sigappu Rojakkal.He
acted as 100 year old witch in a Malayalam film, which was dubbed in to
Tamil too.
He and Super Star Rajinikanth acted together in Apporvaragangal, Mundru
Mudichu, Avargal, Adu Puli Attam, 16 Vayadhinele, Illamai Unjaladukiradhu,
Thappu Thalangal (Kamal Guest Role), Thai Illamal Nan Illai (Rajini Guest
Role), Neenaithale Innikkum Allavudeenum Arpudha Villakkum , Thillu Mullu
(Kamal Guest Role), Girafthar (Hindi, Rajini Guest Role).There is a
similarity between him and Rajini, that is Rajini - Sri Devi 12 films and
also Kamal - Sri Devi 12 films (i.e. Hero & Heroine)
He acted with Nadigar Thilagam in Palum Pazhamum (As a child Artist in
Duel role) Nam Pirandha Man, Sathyam, Devar Magan.
The lone film he acted with MGR is Anandha Jothi As Child Artist.
He is the good singer. After Andharangam, he only sung in Sigappu
Rojakkal. Once Y.G.Mahendra congratulated KJ.Yesudhas for the song
“Sundari Neeyum...” in MMKR, and KJY replied him “It is a good song, but
Kamal sung that song”. YGM was acharya pattufy after hearing that.
Kamal directed the film Sankarlal partially after the death of the
director of the film MR.T.N.Balu. He never acted in Director Mahendran’s
film. Kamal sing for Mohan in the film Oh, Mane Mane Mane.
I admire this great actor. Every one says Shivaji is the Marlan Prando of
India. It is not correct. Kamal is the Marlan Prando of India. Oruthar
oru mozhi padathil peiyar vangaradhu kashtam annal Kamal is popular in all
the souther language movies. Now,he is not acting in Malayalam and Kanda
films.He is the legend of this generation. New comers should learn from
him and should not copy him.
