Potpourri of tidbits about Tamil cinema - Kalaignar Karunanidhi
‘Kalaignar is the person who has revived the Tamil Cinema from its death-bed by offering an injection known as the concession. He is the fittest person for the conferred title Doctor’ – (Late) Director Sridhar
Everyone knows Kalaignar as a good writer, mature politician, best literary giant, fiery worker and a senior artist. But our pens are not equipped to evaluate all his capabilities fully. - Director Bharathi Raja -
Like BC and AD, we have in history, for the Tamil Cinema it is the period as Before Kalaignar and After Kalaignar. - Director S.P.Muthu Raman
In 1970, when Kalaignar was the Chief Mininister, during one of the Cinema awards function, he declared that 'Neerarum Kadaludutha' a song written by Manonmaniyam Sundaranar praising the Mother Tamil will replace the customary Gods Prayer in all the government functions. From that day onwards, every government as well as private, social and cultural institutions have started using that song praising the Mother Tamil before the commencement of any function. The list of his contributions to the Tamil language, the people of Tamil Nadu and the state of Tamil Nadu will go endless. - Kavignar Vairamuthu
I came to Chennai to act in Mani Magudam a drama staged by S.S.Rajendran for which Kalaignar has written the story and dialogue. Afterwards, I acted in another drama named 'Udhaya Sooriyan' for which also Kalaignar has penned the dialogues. In the drama, I still remember that a question and answer scene between me and Kalaignar has lasted for nearly an hour. The drama went on stage for over thousand times. Kalaignar always has shown personal interest and concern about me and my family welfare. We can compare his literary journey only to that of a perennial river. Manorama - Cini Actress
As far as Tamil Cinema is concerned, let it be yesterday, today or tomorrow, every writer and film maker who has achieved some great success due to his or her creative work will owe such success only to Kalaignar. I can even emphasis that Kalaignar is the catalyst for such successes. - K. Bagyaraj
