On verge of quitting politics, she bounced back stronger 

Among the most traumatic periods for Jayalalithaa was one before she first went to jail in December 1996. From the time she lost power in May that year, cases were filed against her one after the other, and she had a foreboding that she would be arrested sooner or later. This period, she would later recall, was even more depressing than her actual stay behind bars. In prison, she steeled herself and became tougher mentally.

She had thought of quitting politics if it meant that she would be free of cases. Indeed, she sent feelers on this through S. Thirunavukkarasu, who was then in the AIADMK, to G.K. Moopanar, leader of the Tamil Maanila Congress and a close ally of DMK president M. Karunanidhi. But nothing came of the whole exercise.

At a closed-door party general council meeting,  Jayalalithaa later said Mr. Karunanidhi was no Chanakya in politics; if he were one, he would have ensured that she quit politics, and not have filed more and more cases against her.

But after she spent close to a month in jail, she was a changed woman, full of fighting spirit. She knew she had seen the worst. The subsequent stay in jail, following her conviction in the disproportionate assets case by a Bengaluru court in 2014, was nowhere near as traumatic as her first experience in prison.

Earlier too, in March 1989, it was the DMK’s miscalculation that gave her a new lease of political life. A raid conducted by the police at the residence of M. Natarajan, the husband of Sasikala, to secure a letter — allegedly written by Jayalalithaa informing the Speaker that she was resigning her Assembly membership —  boomeranged on the DMK. She raised the issue in the Assembly, and this led to an attack on her. A photograph of Jayalalithaa with her dishevelled hair leaving the Assembly won her much sympathy.

Tribute to Jayalalithaa: A childhood friend remembers...

Bengaluru: Vijay Rao (65) remembers the time when he and Jayalalithaa played at Tata Silk Farm in south Bengaluru for nearly nine years in what was then a huge open field. That was back in the fifties, when Jaya’s family lived on Model House Street while she studied in Bishop Cotton Girls’ School on St. Mark’s Road.
What remains etched in Mr. Rao’s memory is the time spent playing hop-scotch, racing and watching the local kabaddi matches. He remembers Jaya as a very focused person even in those days. “She never mixed her play time with her dance classes. She learnt dance from Lalithambal, who lived in a house opposite the ground,” recalls Mr. Rao.

Mr. Rao went to see Jayalalitha when she took over as the Chief Minister in 1991. She welcomed him and reminisced about their younger days. “We have just done up the Jawaharwal Nehru Football Stadium in Chennai. You must pay a visit,” she had told him.

The reluctant actor and politician 

She was forced into the film industry by her family and into politics by MGR but once there, she excelled in both.

Jayalalithaa, who excelled in the world of cinema and politics, was a reluctant entrant in both fields.

“I hate cinema, but my mother forced me into films; I hate politics, but MGR forced me into politics. Still I hate politics.” This is what she told N. Ram of The Hindu in 2009, during a private conversation.
 Mr. Ram recounted how, when he asked her if she was feeling lonesome, Ms. Jayalalithaa, pointing to her confidante Sasikala, responded, “I have a sister who is taking care of me. If my mother was alive, she would have cared for me. I have my party cadres who care for me.”

A thinking actor and an extremely popular and powerful politician, who controlled the party she inherited with an iron grip,  Jayalalithaa proved she was a natural leader and true heir to M.G. Ramachandran  when she won from the Bodinayakanur Assembly constituency in 1989, heading an AIADMK faction. Janaki Ramachandran, who led another faction, lost from Andipatti, which her husband won from a hospital bed in the U.S. in 1984.

The convent-educated  Jayalalithaa — she studied first at Bishop Cotton in Bengaluru and later at Church Park in Chennai — was articulate and comfortable in multiple languages, and the skills came handy in politics. She was an outstanding student; in interviews, she revealed her ambition was to become a lawyer like Ram Jethmalani or Fali S. Nariman.
But family circumstances forced her into a career in films; her first lead role in a Tamil film was in 'Vennira Aadai', directed by C.V. Sridhar. “I created a storm at home. I fought, I wept but it had to be films,” she told an interviewer, recalling her protest against entering the industry though she had acted in Kannada movies as a child artiste.
Though her family hailed from Srirangam, her grandfather Rangaswamy Iyengar settled in Bengaluru, where he worked at Hindustan Aeronautics. Her father Jayaram, a lawyer by training, died when she was only two and her mother Vedavalli, better known with her screen name Sandhya (after whom  her Poes Garden residence is named) worked in the Income-Tax department before taking the plunge into films. Vaasanthi, the author of Amma: Jayalalithaa’s Journey from Movie Star to Political Queen, her unauthorised biography, says, “While she was acting in Vennira Aadai, she was booked by director B.R. Panthulu for Aaayirathil Oruvan, in which she was cast opposite the matinee idol MGR, who was more than 35 years her senior.”

Jayalalithaa once declared that it was 'Aaayirathil Oruvan' that paved the way for her entry into politics. “It was a successful film, and it gave me an opportunity to meet and converse with MGR. It is not an exaggeration to say that the film paved the way for my entry into politics,” she said in a statement on the occasion of the 50th year of its release.
Despite her reservations, she took to acting like a fish to water. Cho Ramaswamy, in his memoir, recalled how she would effortlessly respond to his impromptu dialogues on the stage.
Both  Jayalalithaa and her mother worked for Y.G. Parthasarathy’s drama troupe, the United Amateur Artistes. Her stint in theatre and grounding in Bharatanatyam — K.J. Sarasa was her teacher and her arangetram was presided over by Sivaji Ganesan — gave her an edge over MGR’s other heroines.
She continued to act opposite MGR and did 28 films with him, the maximum for any heroine. But she fell out with him in 1973 and revived the relationship only on June 4, 1982, when she became a member of the AIADMK and addressed the party’s conference in Cuddalore.
She was nominated to the Rajya Sabha on March 24, 1984, and her seat number in the House was 185, once occupied by DMK founder C.N. Annadurai.

Stooping to conquer

She had a knack of reading the political situation and foresaw a revival of her fortunes in the 1998 Lok Sabha polls, necessitated by the fall of the United Front government. She put together an alliance, comprising the MDMK led by Vaiko and the PMK led by S. Ramadoss. She brought on board Vazhapadi K. Ramamurthi and they joined hands with the BJP, then seen as a political untouchable in the State. The serial bomb blasts in Coimbatore in 1998 boosted the prospects of the alliance.
But her decision to withdraw support to the BJP government led by A.B. Vajpayee paved the way for another election in 1999.

It closed the AIADMK’s participation in the government at the Centre. The DMK filled the gap and enjoyed power till 2013.

 

Maaveeran Kittu Tamil Movie Review

Maaveeran Kittu Tamil Movie Review

 

Cast: Radhakrishnan Parthiban, Sri Divya, Vishnu Vishal  

Direction: Suseenthiran  

Music: D Imman 

Cinematography: Soorya.A.R 

Editing: Kasi Viswanathan ,  

Production: Asian , Nallusamy Pictures  

  

Maaveeran Kittu, the third time collaboration of Vishnu Vishal and Suseenthiran has hit the screens today. The film talks about caste discrimination set in the 1980s backdrop. Vishnu Vishal, an ambitious college student is a good hearted youngster. An unexpected murder happens in his village, and Vishnu Vishal becomes the accused, unfortunately. Did Vishnu really execute the murder? Or is he falsely accused? The film answers all these questions.

First and foremost, director Suseenthiran can be applauded for sticking on to the core plot of the movie. There was no unnecessary diversion from the story. Dialogues need a worthy-mention. Yugabharathi, apart from writing the lyrics, has also written the dialogues for this film, and they are powerful and realistic.

There is humanity in the film. There is love, friendship, caste discrimination, unity, harmony, betrayal, and much more, but, somewhere around, the film loses its track and tests the audience's patience. The slow pace of the movie is surely a concern, especially the two duet songs in the second half don't work well.


The first half of the movie keeps you engaged and has the audience's attention. The interval portion definitely keeps you puzzled to know what will happen next. But once the latter half starts, it gets loose and slow. One might not expect the film to have an ending like that, but only then, the film would justify its title. Suseenthiran could have worked more on the screenplay to keep it more engaging, as the second half mostly comprises of sad and dull moments.

Vishnu Vishal has given a neat performance. His character is designed in a very subtle manner and the Vennila Kabbadi Kuzhu actor makes no mistake in delivering that. Parthiepan deserves a mention for his strong performance as 'Chinraasu'. This film will be a memorable outing for him as an actor, after a long time. Sri Divya travels all throughout the film, but has very less scope to perform or emote. Her love portions with Vishnu Vishal are not much interesting. Soori, for the first time, appears in a serious role, but for a very brief time. One might wonder the need for him in the movie.

D. Imman's music is a big pillar for the movie, which adds so much value to the scenes. His songs are also pleasant to hear. Soorya's visuals capture the scenic beauty of the hill stations and the rural areas. The aerial shots in 'Inaivom' song are good. The other technical departments do what is expected of them.
Verdict: A strong content that could’ve been more impactful had the execution been better
