Pick #622
Song: pUngkAththu vIsum
Film: Ondru Engal Jaathiye
Music: Gangai Amaran
Singers: Gangai Amaran & Chorus
Lyrics: One of (Muthulingam, Gangai Amaran, Thiruppathooraan, Pattukkottai Natarasan)
Year: 1987
"Ondru Engal Jaathiye" starred a young, slim and handsome Ramarajan, barbie doll Nishanthi, Raasi, Suslakshana, Vinu Chakravarthi, Ravichandran and others. Screenplay and direction by Ramarajan. The film is just like an MGR film, only without MGR. Ramarajan should have returned to directing after his acting career faded. He had the formula down pat.
Ramarajan is a hardworking fisherman who lives in a seaside village with his sister Raasi and their guardian K.K.Sounder. The two were raised by K.K.Sounder, a poor muslim, who came to India as a refugee from Srilanka and lost his family to the sea while making the voyage to India. Ramarajan and Raasi were born to Hindu parents who were killed when their hut was set on fire by the rich man Ravichandran, in order to silence Ramarajan's father who happened to witness one of Ravichandran's murders. Ramarajan and Raasi know that they are orphans but don't know it was Ravichandran who killed their parents. Nishanthi is a lively young girl who makes a living selling fish and is the daughther of an unemployed drunkard(Vinu Chakravarthi). Nishanthi is in love with Ramarajan. Every time some thug in the village tries to misbehave with Nishanthi, Ramarajan fights him to protect her.
Ravichandran is fish wholesaler. He and his men threaten or beat up the poor fisherman all the time and buy their catch at a very low price, or simply take the fish and drive away. Ramarajan fights Ravichandran's men to protect the fishermen. Ramarajan decides to unite all the fishermen and starts a union. The union starts selling their catch themselves instead of selling it to the wholesalers like Ravichandran. Vinu Chakravarthi works as Ravichandran's spy, for free alcohol and money, and keeps him informed about Ramarajan's plans. Angered by Ramarajan's efforts Ravichandran sends his men to destroy the fish market run by the union. Ramarajan fights them to protect the fishermen and the market.
Around this time a young widow named Mary(Sulakshana) arrives at the village after spending seven years in jail for murdering her own husband. As she gets out of the bus and heads into the village Vinu Chakravarthi stops her and yells at her to go back saying that there is no room for murderers in his village. When she does not heed his threat he attempts to beat her. But Ramarajan fights Vinu and protects Sulakshana. K.K.Sounder feels sorry for Sulakshana and offers her to come and stay in his house. Sulakshana moves in with them. (Thus people belonging to three religions come to live under one roof. Now you know the reason for the title of the film.). Sulakshana goes to church everyday. The father at the church keeps asking her to confess and seek redemption but she quietly walks away every time the father brings up the subject.
Ravichandran's son Mohankumar and Raasi attend the same college. They meet and fall in love. When Ramarajan finds out he gets very angry and forbids her to see Mohankumar. She sadly agrees. But Mohankumar talks to Ramarajan and changes his mind. Ravichandran who is initially angry at his son's love for a poor girl also changes his mind because he calculates that through this marriage he can buy out Ramarajan and have him dissolve the fishermen's union so that he can continue his cut-throat business dealings. Ravichandran comes to Ramarajan's house, sweet-talks and performs the engagement ceremony. Raasi is very happy. Ramarajan and K.K.Sounder scrape up every last bit of money they have and make arrangements for the wedding. In the meantime Ravichandran gets a marriage proposal for his son from a wealthy family living abroad who have a girl for marriage. Ravichandran changes his mind again and decides to accept the foreign proposal. On the day of the wedding the bride's family is ready at the wedding hall. But Ravichandran locks his son in his farm house, goes to the wedding hall and announces that the wedding has been cancelled. Ramarajan feels humiliated in front of the guests. Raasi is heartbroken.
That night Nishanti is asleep in her hut and a snake bites her. Vinu is home but he is so drunk and passed out he does not hear her scream. Ramarajan comes running to her rescue, sucks the poison out and takes her to the medicine man and saves her life. When Vinu is woken up and hears what happened he has a change of heart . He tells Ramarajan where Mohankumar has been locked up.
SPOILER ALERT! Skip the next three paragraphs if you do not want to know how the film ends.
Ramarajan goes to the farm house and rescues Mohankumar. Raasi and Mohankumar quickly get married in a temple with police protection. Ravichandran is not able to stop the wedding. He finds out that it was Vinu who helped Ramarajan. Ravichandran's men beat up Vinu. Bleeding from head to toe, Vinu goes home crying in pain. When he sees the church on the way home, he enters the church and asks forgiveness from Jesus for all his misdeeds. He cries out loud that it was he who framed Sulakshana as the killer of her own husband when in reality it was Ravichandran who killed her husband. The father hears Vinu's drunken confession and apologizes to Sulakshana.
That evening everyone in the village is celebrating Raasi and Mohankumar's wedding with song and dance. Angry Ravichandran and his men storm the village and set the houses on fire. The celebration turns into chaos. Ramarajan and the villagers frantically try to put out the fire. In the middle of the commotion Ravichandran abdcuts Nishanthi. K.K.Sounder tries to stop him but Ravichandran stabs and kills him. Sulakshana sees this, tells Ramarajan that Ravichandran killed K.K.Sounder and that he also killed his parents decades ago. She orders Ramarajan to take revenge by killing Ravichandran. Ravichandran takes Nishanthi to his house and attempts to violate her. Vinu follows them and fights to save Nishanti but Ravichandran stabs and kills him. As he proceeds to violate Nishanti, Ramarajan comes there and fights him. Ravichandran drags Nishanthi and runs to the boatyard. Ramarajan chases after him. Ravichandran picks up a machete and attempts to slash Ramrajan's neck. As he goes for Ramarajan's neck he slumps to the ground face down. Ravichandran's back is poked open and blood gushes out. An angry Sulakshana stands there holding a heavy, bloody crowbar.
Sulakshana goes to church and and this time she confesses. Then the police handcuff her.
SPOILER ENDS!
Today's pick is a nice fishermen song that comes at the beginning of the film to introduce the leading man Ramarajan.
