Nadaswaram – Gennext ! : konjum salangai

Nadaswaram – Gennext ! – Triplicane Nagaraj, his cute daughter  and Prakash photographed here.

 


Synchronous with Nadaswaram, dance and music was the movie ‘Thillana Mohanambal’;  a few years earlier was released ‘Konjum Salangai’ in 1962,   a musical dance film directed by MV  Raman, starring Gemini Ganesan, Savithri, RS Manohar and Kumari Kamala. 

The film was dubbed into Telugu as Muripinche Muvvalu. This film is the Indian Tamil cinema's one and only Tamil film to be entirely shot and released in Technicolor. Konjum Salangai was the 100th  film for Savitri.  It was shot in 41 different sets at three studios Newtone Studios and Narasu Studios in Madras, and Raman Studio in Bombay.  It was processed in London ! and was a big budget movie of those times. 

Music was by SM Subbaiah Naidu – there were dozen songs – S Janaki became much acclaimed after this movie Nadaswaram portions for the song was played by Karaikurichi Arunachalam.
