THE HINDU REVIEW

"சினிமாவை பத்தி எதுவும் கேட்டுடாதீங்க"-அப்துல்கலாம்

அடிப்படை தத்துவம் அறிந்த தலைவர்

சென்னை அண்ணா பல்கலையில் சிறப்பு பேராசிரியராக டாக்டர் அப்துல்கலாம் பணியாற்றிக் கொண்டிருந்தார்.அவரை ஜனாதிபதியாக தேர்ந்தெடுக்கப் போகிற தகவல் கிடைத்ததும் அவரை பேட்டிகாண சென்றிருந்தேன். மலர் கொத்து கொடுத்து வாழ்த்து சொல்லிய பின் "பேட்டி வேண்டும்" என்றேன் . "நான் என்ன சார் பெரிசா சாதனை பண்ணிட்டேன் ..பேட்டி கேக்குறீங்களே ?" என தன்னடக்கமாக சொன்ன கலாம்
"நீங்க பொலிடிக்கல் ரிபோர்டரா ?" என்று கேட்டார். "சினிமா நிருபர், ஆனால் உங்களை பேட்டி எடுக்கும் அசைன்மென்ட் என்னிடம் கொடுக்க பட்டிருக்கு!" என சொன்னேன். "சினிமாவை பத்தி எதுவும் கேட்டுடாதீங்க .அப்புறம் நான் திருதிருன்னு முழிச்சிருவேன்" என அவர் சொன்ன போது ,எல்லோருமே சிரித்துவிட்டோம். அவருக்கு வாழ்த்துச் சொல்ல நிறைய பேர்கள் வந்து கொண்டே இருந்தார்கள். வாழ்த்த வந்திருப்பது மாணவ மாணவிகள் என்று தெரிந்தால் உடனே அவர்களை தன் அருகே வரவைத்து அவர்களுடைய படிப்பு, எதிர்கால லட்சியம் என பல விஷயங்களை விசாரிக்க ஆரம்பித்து விடுவார். ஒரு தகப்பனைப் போல ஒவ்வொருவருக்கம் அட்வைஸ் செய்தார். இதில் ஆச்சரியப் படும்படியான விஷயம் என்னன்னா .......
சொன்ன அட்வைசையே சொல்லாமல் ஒவ்வொரு மாணவருக்கும் ஒவ்வோவோருவிதமாக அட்வைஸ் செய்தது தான்! மாணவர்கள் சரியான பாதையில் சென்றால் தேசம் சரியான பாதையில் செல்லும் என்கிற சூழ்நிலையால் அவரால் பேட்டிக்கு நேரம் ஒதுக்க முடியாமல் போனாலும் கூட..
அவரோடு பழகிய அந்த சிலமணி நேரங்களில் சிறந்த மனிதரை சந்தித்த சந்தோஷம் மனதில் நிறைந்தது ! தலைமைப் பண்பிற்கான இலக்கணம் என்பது எளிமையும் , அடுத்தவர் மீதான அக்கறையும் தான் என்பதையும் அவரை பார்த்த பொது அறிய முடிந்தது."கனவுகள் எண்ணங்களை உருவாக்கும்! எண்ணங்களை செயல்களை உருவாக்கும் !

அகவே கனவு காணுங்கள்" என்றார் கலாம். நானும் கனவு காண்கிறேன். என் கனவு முழுக்க அப்பழுக்கற்ற அப்துல்கலாம் முகம் வந்து கொண்டே இருக்கிறது .

நன்றி.-

ASHTAVATHANI


P. Bhanumati, celluloid queen of yesteryears was an exemplar of bravery, honesty and hard work. She was a short-story writer and a person of assorted talents. She was talented in screenplay, dialogue writing, music and composing, editing, cinematography, direction etc. Due to this versatility she was referred to as ‘Ashtavathani’. When I took her to Erode in May in the year 1985 to participate in a function, she was surrounded by the members of a ladies’ club there who put her questions. Bhanumathi was very quick and crisp in her replies.



Here are some of those interesting questions and Bhanumathi’s replies:

Q: You are afraid of what kind of people?

A: I am not afraid of anyone …only others are afraid of me! I am submissive only to the voice of my conscience.

Q: Out of the movies you had directed, which is your favorite?

A: ‘Ippadiyum oru penn’…

Q: What are your hobbies?

A: Story-writing. I am now gathering details about farming and cultivation.

Q: Today, no artiste is able to sustain in the field. What is the reason?

A: They don’t remain at a place even in the movie! They keep running and rolling! How can they remain steadily in the hearts of the film fans?!



I had met Bhanumathi at her T. Nagar residence for interviews for Tamil magazines including Kumudam and Saavi. She told me to put her name as Bhanumathi Ramakrishna, telling that if she was able to function with so much freedom in cinema and public life, her husband was responsible for that. “My native place is Ongole in Andhra Pradesh. Both my parents had formal training in Carnatic music. They had two sons and two daughters, I was the eldest. I also learned music even when I was young. In the year 1939, I acted as the second heroine in the film ‘Vara Vikrayam’, directed by P. Pulliah. After that, I acted in many films. When I was working in the film ‘Krishna Prema’, Ramakrishna, an assistant director of the film and me fell in love with each other. We got married with the full consent of our parents. ‘Sorga Seema’, in which I acted after my marriage, hit the box-office in both the languages - Tamil and Telugu. I acted with the leading heroes of the time in all the languages – Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and Kannada. Before signing any film I would put the condition that I would not allow indecency or closeness with the hero in love scenes or any other scene. So, the producers, directors and actors always remained at a distance,” Bhanumathi said with a hearty laugh. When I asked her for some unforgettable experiences, she said, “In the year 1975, the Andhra Pradesh Government conferred doctorate title on me. In 1984, Venkateswara University honored me with the same title. I organized All India women writers meet on 27th April 1965 in Hyderabad. Vijalakshmi Pandit was the chief guest. My son was born in Bharani star. We named him Bharanivenkatasubramania Sarma. We started a studio and a production company in his name. N. T. Rama Rao appointed me along with Rajnikant and Rajkumar as a trustee of Thirupati Devasthan committee. S. S. Vasan held a felicitation function to congratulate me and Sivaji Ganesan for the award of Padmashree title to both of us. In 1985, MGR, the then chief minister appointed me as the director and principal of the Government Music College. Indira Gandhi, who was present at the award function at Delhi told me that she had listened to all my songs and also had seen a few Hindi films of mine. These are the unforgettable occasions in my life,” Bhanumathi told with humility in voice. Bhanumathi a rare and versatile personality died on 24th December 2005 at the age of 81. Her husband Ramakrishna died at his son’s residence in America when MGR was the chief minister. MGR helped bring his body to India.
My request and wish is that either the Government of India or the Government of Tamil Nadu should institute a title “Ashtavathani Bhanumathi” and award it to the best actress of the year in honor of Bhanumathi Amma.

INSPIRING DIRECTOR

Director Sridhar ushered in an era of new concepts in Tamil cinema. Among his many achievements, introduction of informal language for dialogues was the most appreciated and received with great response. He was born to Vijayaraghavalu Reddiar – Thayarammal on 22 July 1933 at Siddhamur village near Mathuranthakam. He was encouraged by his classmates in school and college as well when he used to write and enact dramas. He came to Madras seeking opportunities in cinema industry. He wanted to become a scriptwriter. But Jupiter Pictures employed him as a distribution representative. The job required delivering film boxes at theatres and sending collection details. But during this time, he continued to write stories and dialogues in notebooks.



When he offered his script ‘Latchiyavadhi’ for production, it was rejected by all the directors. But T. K. S. Brothers, the doyens of stage drama were impressed by the theme and its presentation. T. K. Shanmugam was very much fascinated by Sridhar’s talents. The script, renamed as ‘Rathapaasam’ was enacted as a stage drama at Rasika Ranjani Sabha by the troupe on 11 November 1951 in Madras. The play received much applause. During the interval, Sridhar who was only 18 at that time was introduced to the audience as the scriptwriter of the play by T. K. Shanmugam. Subsequently, the play was filmed by Jupiter Pictures with T. K. Shanmugam and Anjali Devi in the lead roles in the same name. Sridhar wrote the dialogues. R. S. Mani directed. The movie, released in the year 1954 became a blockbuster. The same film was remade in Hindi by AVM under the title ‘Bhai-bhai’ with Ashok Kumar and Kishore Kumar in the lead roles as brothers. The Hindi version also proved a run-away success. The entire Indian film industry threw open its doors to Sridhar and welcomed him with open arms. ‘Uthama puthiran’ is one of the hits Sridhar gave. Kalyana parisu, Nenjil or aalayam,Vidivelli, Then nilavu, Sumai thaangi, Kaadhalika neramillai, Vennira aadai, Sivantha mann, Nenjirukkum varai, Kalai koil, Avalukkenru or manam, Uthiravinri ulle vaa (the film was directed by Sridhar’s assistant director Chakravarthy), Ilamai oonjalaadukirathu, Ninaivellaam Nithya, Thudikkum karangal, Vaira nenjam, Urimaikural and Meenava nanban were among his popular movies. Many of these films were remade in other languages including Hindi.

Sridhar was also a publisher of a film magazine Chitraalaya. For those who were eager to enter film and media, Sridhar was the inspiration. His wife Devasena was very much attached to him till his end which came on 19-10-2008. People like me, who were close to his family, know this truth. When Sridhar was paralyzed, I met him at his Neelankarai residence. Though he couldn’t talk fluently, he managed to tell me about his script he had in mind for Rajinikant and about another script meant for Ajith. I wept at his words moved both by his zest and inability.



Sridhar’s each and every film can be considered a lesson or even a lexicon for all those who want to enter films.
