" Modern theaters "
Tamizh makkalukku ninaivu irukkum enra nambikkaiyil intha topic thodankap padukirathu.
Aim : To discuss about the hit songs from modern theater's movies. Also to collect the list of best songs from Modern theaters.
I think already you would have discussed many songs of TMS & PS. But by this topic I would like to collect an album of songs from Modern theaters only. I hope TFM friends can help me. Advance wishes.

• From: Amar (@ worf.qntm.com) on: Thu Jan 15 16:17:48 EST 1998
  
  Raja:
  "Ammamma Kannathil Kannam Vaithukkollu" is an excellent song( I don't if and where it was lifted from ) by LRE and in the movie, Sheela sings to Manohar in "Mottamaadhi".
  
  "Paarvai Onrey Poathuma?" is a song from "Yaar Nee" music by Veda but it is not a Modern Theatres movies to list in this topic.
  
  
• From: rajamahadevan (@ draco.eisi.com) on: Fri Jan 16 11:01:34 EST 1998
  
  Amar,
  
  Thanks, I didn't know the movie ( modern theaters). It is probably from the same period. Paarvai Ondre Podhume itself is a copy of a hindi song, sung beautiflly by Asha Bhonsle. Should a new topic be started where we list out copies and originals. Sometime back I was listening to a latin american piece, and guess what Anubhavam Pudhumai from Kaadalikka neram illai is a clean copy of this instrumental piece..

  Arimugam,
  Thank you for the topic. May I wish to share a little more information that I know of.
  
  MT had produced a total of 118 films from 1937 to 1982.The first film was Sathy Agalya in 1937. The last film was the flop film of "Vetri Namathu" by Rajes and Vanitha in 1982.
  The founder is TR Sundram who was working from 1937 till his death in 1963. His last film in 1963 was Konjum Kumari with Manorama as the heroine against R.Manogar as hero. Sundaram is a BSc graduate from London, and married an English lady.
  Sundram used foreigners like Ellis R.Duncan,M.L.Danton,Bomman D. Irani to add quality to his films.
  Sundram entered the Tamil cine field in 1933.He first teamed up with Salem Angel Film Company to jointly produce two films. It was in 1937 that he built up the Salem Modern Theatres. The first film was Sathy Agalya which was released in March 1937. In 1938 he released "Maya Mayavan". TR Sundaram himself has acted as hero in "Burma Rani" against KLV Vasantha as heroine.
  
  Modern Theatres boasts of a few firsts.
  
  * First Double role was in Uthama Puthiran by PU Chinnappa in 1940.
  
  *First Malayalam Film called "Balan" was produced in 1938
  
  * First Malayalam Colour film was "Kandam Vecha Kottu" in 1961
  
  *First English film in Tamilnadu-Modern Theatres teamed up with an American Film company to produce the first English movie in 1952-"The Jungle"
  
  *The first most expensive film to be produced was "Manaonmani" in 1942, starred by PU Chinnappa and TR Rajakumari.
  
  *First Tamil Colour film(Geva Colour) was Ali Baba And 40 Thieves-1956
  
  *First film where Manorama was heroine is Konjum Kumari in 1963. This is the 97th film for TR Sundaram.He died even before the film was released.
  
  * First film to have 3 separate stories within a movie was "Chow Chow". The 3 stories are Kaligala "Mainar", "School Drama" and "Soorapuli".
  
  At a time when Zoom lens was not discovered such efect was used in "Ponmudi" for which the French Government awarded the cameraman.
  
  The 100th film was Vallavanukku Vallavan of 1965.
  After the death of TR Sundaram, the responsibility of managing MT went to his son Ramasundaram. After Ramasundaram's death his English wife gave away most of the films for a 100 year lease.
