TAMIL CINEMA 75 -A LOOK BACK

TAMIL CINEMA AND MUSIC - 3

In the early days of movies, the word ‘Talkies’ was usedas the suffix to the name of a cinema theater as in SelectTalkies’, ‘Crown Talkies’ and such.

These names appear confusing - and even amusing - toforeigners in India and to those studying the history ofIndian Cinema. The word was used by theater owners tomake it clear that it was wired and equipped for sound andthat it screened talking pictures and not silent movies.

Even after movies began to talk in 1931, silent filmscontinued to be made for some more time and screened asbefore In India. So, at a given point of time in a town, bothsilent and talking pictures were being screened in differenttheaters! To distinguish between the two, the word ‘Talkies’was added to the name of the theater with sound equipment.Such names continue to be in vogue even today in the 21stcentury in many parts of India, especially in small townsand rural areas.

Indian Cinema played a significant role in the FreedomMovement, in spite of the rigid system of film censorship bythe British government. Yet filmmakers used smart andsubtle methods to introduce the message of the struggle,mainly through songs. The role of Tamil Cinema in theFreedom Movement awaits a full and in-depth study tilltoday.

Unfortunately there are no gramophone records (thencommonly known as “plates”) of the songs of “Kalidas”, andno print of the film has survived. Even the song-book is nottraceable and, sadly, details about the names of its lyricistand music composer and other technicians remainunknown.

“Kalidas” was the only Tamil talkie to be produced in1931 and it created history. A new aural age in cinema haddawned and the role of film music began to take roots in thehearts, minds and souls of moviegoers.

In the same year, many silent films were produced inMadras. They were “Bhaktha Vatsal” (or “Durvaasa GarvaBangham”), “Leila, the Star of Mingrelia”, “MayaMadhusudhan”, “Nara Narayan”, “Praval Padmini” (or“Coral Queen”), “Rose of Rajasthan”, “Satharam”, “SignetRing”(the latter-day pioneer and famed filmmaker, K.Subramanyam, then cutting his teeth in cinema, wrote itsstory and scenario), “Taranhar”(story and scenario - K.Subramanyam) and “Vishwamitra”. Sadly these films arelost forever in the limbo of time.

Even though the films were silent, they were accompaniedby background music provided in the cinema house by theexhibitor. Instrument players, mostly using harmoniumand tabla and sometimes a flute, sat in the pit of thetheater and they played appropriate background musicscore. Interestingly the background score for the samemovie varied from theater to theater - even from show toshow - depending on the moods of the instrument playerswho produced the score at a moment’s notice! Not any easyjob that!

There were also men standing at a doorway in the middleof the theater-wall and they narrated, in the local language,the events on the screen and also spoke out the dialoguesin their own fashion. Such men, known as “barkers”,enjoyed a certain degree of popularity and some of themwere treated as “stars” with fan following of their own! Thispractice was in vogue in Japan and also in small towns andvillages in India.

The silent films were less than 6000 feet in length andwere screened at the speed of 16 frames per second. The 35mm sound films run at 24 frames per second.

Another interesting feature which was popular in thatperiod in South India was ‘live shows’ during the screeningof a silent film. Projection would be stopped and dancers,mostly scantily dressed women, would come on stage andperform dances for about fifteen to twenty minutes. Suchdances were widely advertised in hand bills and the crowdswere larger on such days!

NO HOLDS BARRED

S. Subramani’s stop-watch article in the Times of India shouldbring droves of litigants to the Madras High Court since, all that thewarriors chasing the justice shadow have to do, apart from emp-tying their coffers, is to wait for 59 seconds to win or lose their cases!

Even slot machines like the weighing contraptions installed inrailway stations take a bit longer to pronounce the extra lard thatyou have to shed and prophesy your future. Since Subramani wasa Court Reporter, and a thorough one at that, he must have donea Herculean surgery of the time taken for the incantation of the“My Lord, Me Lud, Me Lud” by the warrior counsel who feelthat pleasing the one on the bench was 99% of the labour for whichthe clients engage him. If the learned lawyer had been engaged evenonce to appear in the Supreme Court, he, when he returns to thehome court, addresses even a single Judge, “My Lords”. Well,Subramani’s stop- watch perhaps omitted the incantation part ofthe proceedings to hand the laurels to our set of brilliant Judges andthe magnificent bar, whose combined effort has crowned our HighCourt as the fastest dispenser of justice in the country, a welldeserved award to it in its sesquicentennial year of birth (1862-2012).

This first rank is all the more historic because the number ofboycotts by lawyers probably stanched the flood of new filings sothat the equilibrium between filing and disposal is maintained.

Subramani reports that our High Court has been the championdisposer for the fifth year in a row, keeping our Law Journalssleepless. Justice K. Chandru goes through the stories in the filesas a hot knife does through butter since he has banned theincantation of “My Lord” in his court forcing many forensic tonguesto talk sense. Justice T. Sathiadev (May his soul rest in peace!) usedto read the files from the first word to the last at home in the caseof new Writ petitions. Their admissions or dismissals would be overwithin the first hour, and the final disposals would be taken uppromptly thereafter. That was his legacy to our High Court whichis now the fastest disposer according to Subramani.

All I can say is “when comes such another!”, unless it is Chandru!
