I watched this black and white tamil movie "நத்தையில் முத்து" today. I have watched this movie earlier with my parents, here and there. But this time I watched it alone, completely. I listened to every dialogue in the movie.
I must say for a movie made in 1973, it holds true even today. The way the writer conveys his message of how the economy of the country is affected because of laziness, internal fights and how these politicians use this "Divide and Rule" so effectively and take advantage out of this, is so true even today.
There is this song in the middle of the movie "ஆடு ராட்டே, இந்த நாடு படும் பாடை பாத்து ஆடு ராட்டே ". This mind-blowing, meaningful song I feel, conveys everything that the writer wants to convey in this movie.
The plot revolves around a foreign returned Brahmin boy with broad minded outlook who marries a poor, Harijan girl against the wishes of his mother. The mutual sacrifices they make for each other strengthens their relationship. The girl through her beautiful, unassuming, compassionate character soon wins the heart of her orthodox mother in law.
With this as the main story, the way the writer touches so many wonderful subjects in this movie is awesome.
- He sarcastically points to the plight of today's politics and beautifully explains the value of being self dependent, which could in turn improve the economy of the country!
- Then and there he exhibits his respect for the Ramayana!
- Every line in the movie is so piercing.
- The "Thathuva padalgal" and the Ram Naam in the picture are so soul touching.
A beautiful beginning, meaningful going and a 'visionary' ending.
Apart from the messages conveyed in the movie, the soothing title music (the characteristic of most of black and white movie), the versatile acting of 'Kalaimamani' Varalakshmi and apt expressions of the actors Muthuraman, S V Subbiah and not to mention the excellent story and direction by K S Gopalakrishnan is worth the 3 hours. No wonder he is called the "இயக்குனர் திலகம்". (இப்பவும் இருக்காங்களே இயக்குனர் தங்கம், தகரம், சிகரம் எல்லாம்......தரமான சிந்தனையே இல்லாம
! )
One has to watch this movie to appreciate it.
