You can read the full article here.Ĭinematters, I rememebr seeing Rathinirvedam as a teenager (did I tell you that I seem to have seen *very* age-inappropriate films?) and not really ‘getting it’ – until many years later, when I was doing my PG, I had a discussion with a classmate about movies and this came up – and he said it was a classic look at mostly any young male. Shwetha Menon is all set to play the role of ‘Rathi’ in the remake of ‘Rathinirvedam’.
Pretty soon, who knows, there would be remakes of Kallichellamma, Murappennu, Yavanika, Irakal and if you are lucky, starting with the beautiful Pavithram, TK Rajeevkumar might even remake his own film!Ī new post on the confirmed cast and characters the 2011 version of Padmarajan’s Rathinirvedam (1978) Update: 13 November 2010 I was recently watching a documentary called Cinimayudey Kalpadukal, brought out by Moserbaer ( in VCD format, thank you very much! ), where Sri.Madhu speaks about this “Change that is a Cycle” I thinks he is absolutely right in his assessment of Malayalam Cinema’s current state of affairs. And it has also proved its commercial value once, so why not repackage it, tweak the script and make it again? When you think about it, the current film makers have a treasure trove to pick from, an Aladin’s Cave of riches in the form of the movies from the 60’s and the 70’s. I guess at this rate, you can witness the dismembering of Padmarajan’s body of work in the coming years, and once they have finished with it, maybe they will start with Bharathan’s.

Jayabharathy in Rathinirvedam (1978) Am sure, with the coming days, some rabid, nubile, trite TV anchor might get hold of Krishnachandran and Jayabharathy in the comfort of the air-conditioned TV studio, and start off the sessions by questions that would suspiciously sound like “What was your experience in working with Padmarajan?” and so on. It is an intensely beautiful and sad poem which can only be written by the likes of such geniuses, so rare as Sri.Padmarajan.
Malayala Manorama’s Sunday pullout Shree had come out with a feature on Rathinirvedam in 2004, which also featured a small interview with Jayabharathi who so rightly said : It was the same fate of his previous remake of a Malayalam classic into Hindi – Sathyan Anthikkad’s Varavelpu into a cringe-worthy hideous thing called Chal Chala Chal in 2009, starring Govinda! This time he is trying it in a playing field he knows best – Malayalam itself! Though the digital realm still celebrates Rathinirvedam as glorified porn, for anyone who has watched the movie, it was as if Padmarajan just laid bare your tribulations of your pimple-era with such lyrical beauty. TK Rajeev Kumar’s last remake, the lovable little classic Mutharamkunnu PO into Hindi, starring Rajpal Yadav, called Kushti didn’t even run for a day in release centers. The report goes on to say that the movie would be told from the perspective of the now-grownup Pappu (played by Krishnachandran), but it isn’t clear whether it is a reminiscence of the same narrative, or they are reinventing it once again. This would be the second Padmarajan creation to go under the Processor in the past month, the first being Nakshathrangaley Kaaval ( 1971). According to media reports, this is going to be produced by the veteran producer Suresh Kumar, who thinks he has hit mother lode and a probable way out of the current mess called Malayalam Cinema – remake old classics on shoestring budgets, which he found out by remaking MT Vasudevan Nair’s Neelathamara ( 1979) with Lal Jose. There was also the coming together of the great creative friendship of Padmarajan and Bharathan in Rathinirvedam ( Padmarajan’s screenplay and Bharathan’s direction), a creative collaboration that started with Prayaanam (1975) ( Journey a.k.a Progression). Why exactly do they do this? Why? Rathinirvedam was our answer to lady Chatterley’s Lover and Lolita, in a way only a genius conceive and translate it on the big screen, treading the fine ground between pornography and sexual awakening that was brilliant, beautiful, at places corny but a cinematic experience, so much like Padmarajan’s other creations. The Malayalam Film Processor Machine has now decided to serve Padmarajan’s Rathinirvedam (1978) in bubble wrap and tinsel wrappings, to be directed by T.K.Rajeev Kumar.Īll I can say is ughhh.and a heave a deep-drawn out sigh.
