i have heard about this movie many times but as it was made in Tamil and i couldn't understand it perfectly(to catch a film its content its must to know that language)i waited for its dubbed version(Hindi-Telugu)..
some days ago i tried to find it in net and finally found in you tube in Telugu dubbed as IDDARU (means two)..
i downloaded it and watched..
y i watched it?
1.its directed by MANI RATHNAM (a WELL KNOWN director) 2.story of rise n fall of Tamil movie icon MGR (M G RAMACHANDRAN) and KALAINGAR AKA (KARUNA NIDHI ) 3.to know the situation set for starting regional parties throwing national parties away
4.making cinema as medium-jump pad to politics 5.the situation sentiments of state people about both persons(KARUNA N MGR)
director told its pure imaginary story-but it clearly makes its about late MGR n present KARUNA's LOVE -HATE relationship ,rise-falling out,starting new parties game plan..!!
MANI RATHNAM worked well and researched about both persons and made a believable story with fantastic actors like NAAZAR-MOHANLAL-PRAKASH RAI(RAJ)and leading ladies(2+2)...
REVATHI-
TABU- GOUTHAMI- AISHWARYA RAI
AISHWARYA RAI >>> as mgr wife n love interest again..!! GOUTHAMI>> as MGR wife (a heroine falls in love in film set) MADHUBALA>>>> cinema heroine--just for a song ..!
acting wise its MOHAN LAL who excels well in MGR'S shoes... for MGR(who's a originally MALAYALI)part ,director approaching MOHAN LAL a MALAYALI and best actor well suited for that role...
PRAKASH RAI's acting seems BIT over acting..! MOHANLALS balanced act noticeable.. it has some songs in film background (MOHAN LAL as actor MGR-n PRAKASH RAI cinema story-song writer)..
keeping in mind the b/w cinema days its made in such background only.. n make up dresses sets remind it..
because of protests for their leaders portrayal in film MANI RATHNAM deleted some scenes -and in some scenes u can just c movements no sound@all courtesy-censor cuts..:(( film may commercial flop but had its impact on concerned and viewers too..
watch it to know the love- hate relationship of MGR n KALAINGAR and rise of cinema politics .N .reasons....
>>>the scene where mgr's body is taken for cremating - lakhs of people gather 2 sides to c n pay respect- it reminded me of Kannada matinée idol Dr-Rajkumar's funeral procession..
i liked it and hope you too.. I FELT DIRECTOR SHOWCASED MGR AS SOFT AND KARUNA A TOUGH PERSON..! AND IN END U FEEL IT... you can watch it in you tube in name of IDDARU (Telugu meaning-two-DUO) happy watching
i give 10/10 it deserves.....!!
