40 Years of Moondru Mugam:
Hi Friends, this is a short video on Thalaivar's Moondru Mugam that was release in October 1982. Hence, felt it pertinent to talk about it during Diwali weekend. This was the first movie Thalaivar acted in a triple role. The heroines were Radhika and Shankarabaranam Rajalakshmi. One character was a Police officer and the other ones his sons, with one being a small time crook and the other one belonging to a rich family. It ran similar to Naan Vazha Vaippen where Rajini fans wanted to watch only the second half and gave the go by for the first half. In fact, the hallmark was lot of Kamal fans turned Thalaivar fans overnight. Such was the power of Alex Pandian Character. The Villain role was played by Senthamarai. The movie was remade in Hindi also as John, Jaani and Janardhan. Senthamarai played a role named Ekambaram who trades in illicit liquor. In one scene Senthamarai threatens Rajini that if a baby hears his(Senthamarai) name, any crying baby would close it's mouth. Thalaivar's immediate retort would be, tell the baby my name, it would close it's mother's mouth also. The audience would erupt in the theater with whistles. When Kalaippuli Thanu advertised for Kakka Kakka, he showed Surya following Thanka Pathakkam Shivaji and Alex Pandian #Rajinikanth. The Story is about Sons avenging the death of their father at the hands of the Villain. However, it was the Alex Pandian character that took the movie to a different level. We can watch the movie at least once and any number of times for the Alex Pandian character. In fact the movie was successful only because of Alex Pandian.
