Director Sridhar passes away

[sathyakabali]

Director Sridhar passed away after prolonged illness. There are no words to describe his contribution to TFM.
Let His soul rest in peace.

He was the first 'super star ' director and trend setter.
he had many firsts to his credit
including first social movie in Tamil -- Kathalika neramillai
first tamil film to be shot in Kashmir
first tamil film to be completed in asingle schedule - nenjil or aalayam
first movie to be shot extensively in foreign locations- sivanda mann
His repetoire covers from extreme pathos like kalyana parisu to the masterpiece of comedy 'Kathalika neramillai.
Only mythology was left untouched by the master.
His sense of music was wonderful which shone through the ages

kalayum neeye
nenjam marapathillai
nilavukku en mel
poo mudipaal intha punkuzhali
engirunthaalum vaazgha
thanga ratham vandadhu
pattathu rani
poo maalayil or malligai
anubhavam pudumai
neerada neram nalla neram
vizhiye kathai ezhuthu
pongum kadalosai

en kalyana vaibhogam
orenaal unnai naan
pani vizhum malar vanam
thalayai kuniyum thaamaraye
kanmani nee vara kaathirunthen

aagayam thaane azhagana kurai

many more!

His movies may have hit the bulls eye or bitten the dust but the lustre did not diminish.
Sridhar desrvedly became alegend in his own lifetime.
and through his movies he will live on forever for in his fans "Nenjil there will always be an alayam and in it will reside CV Sridhar"

[karthik_sa2]

my most favourite director has always been Sridhar. He has passed away. rhomba kashtamaa iruku.

Kadhalikka neramillai, my most favourite movie was directed by him.

It seems he has one of the best ways to tell story and song situation to music directors to extract the very best. Almost aaaaallllll his movies had terrific songs. To name a few movies (I can not name the songs, there are plenty): Kalyana parisu, Thean nilavu (these two movies were composed by the singer AM Raja), Venniradai, Sivandha mann, urimaikural, ooty varai uravu, policekaran magal, nenjil oar aalayam, nenjirukkum varai, nenjam marappadhillai, sumaithaangi and again the all-time greatest classic Kadhalikka neramillai. Even with IR he had great hits like Ilamai oonjalaadudhu, oru odai nadhiyaagiradhu (Thalaiyai kuniyum thaamaraiye), ninaivellaam nithya!
the songs in these movies. 99% of the songs are maaaaagnum hits with extraordinary stuff from Kannadhasan and MSV-TKR.

Sridhar will live on...

Hi,

AvaL (Remake of Dhoraha) is not by Sridhar.

O Manju & SoundaryamE varuha varuha were also directed by Sridhar.

[MusicIsLife]

one of the greatest ever to understand "Comedy" in the real sense.
Kathalika Neramillai... wow what a marvellous movie!! He had a great acumen for "MUSIC" and lyrics

[Bhoori]

SN23,

Thanks for the info and I have an updated list of Sridhar movies at http://awardakodukkaranga.wordpress.com/2008/10/28/ஸ்ரீதர்-பட-லிஸ்ட்/

[rra]

Bhoori: You might want to check on Vaira Nenjam and Uttharavindri Ulle Vaa. I think these were directed by Sridhar.
RRA

[SN23]

rra, Yes Vaira Nenjam (Old name was Hero-72) was directed by Sridhar. Padmapriya's debut movie but released very late.

Uttharavindri Ulle Vaa was was produced under Chithralaya (Sridhar's production banner) but was directed by NC Chakravarthy (Sridhar's close associate).

[Bhoori]

How Vikram who was introduced by Sridhar, never is this age and time, has never spoken or mentioned about the person who introduced him?

Why no mention of music?? :( .... Awesome soundtrack though !!

Some people have difficulty in accepting IR's role in getting the recognition for MD in the TF field. This is but one proof. I think someone has posted the AV vimarsanam of annakkiLi in some thread, which failed to mention about the MD as well. It's a fact that even MSV got his recognition in the media only after IR iconised the role of MD in a film.
