Not a bad year for films

In all, 155 films were released in the year 2001, thereby creating a record of sorts in the south. But only 75 films were straight films and others were dubbed ventures. The Kamal Haasan-starrer Thenali and the Vijay starrer-Friends were the only two films that reached the silver jubilee mark while Ajith’s Dheena completed a 125-day run shows the poor state of the film industry. While only nine films completed 100 days in 2000, last year had 15 films which reached the 100-day mark. Vijaykant’s Vanchinathan and Narsimha, Karthik’s Ullam Kollu Poguthe, Vijay’s Badri, Madhvan’s Dum Dum Dum, T Rajinder’s Sonantha Kathala, Mammootty’s Anandam, Ajith’s Citizen and Poov Ellam Unn Vasam, Vikram’s Dhill, Prasanth’s Chocklet and Sarath Kumar’s Samudaram were the films that touched the 100-day mark as per official records but many of these
films were pulled in the theatres by the producers to keep up the ‘star status and banner value’ is an undeniable fact.

With nine films released, Roja topped the list of actresses who acted in the maximum number of films and also had the distinction of having acted in 100 films. She is currently in the news for having come out with an interview criticising Kamal Haasan for the way in which his heroines are depicted on screen. With six films, Devyani came a close second and Jothika came third with five films out of which two were successful at the box-office. Simran, the numero uno of 2000, had only two releases and both were flops. Laila had four releases of which two were hits. Meena had three releases but she was the heroine in only one of them. While she only had a side role in one, in the other she appeared in a song sequence. Rambha had two releases and both were flops. Mumtaz, the sex bomb, came in six films and kept her slot intact.

Vivek was the most popular comedian with 21 films to his credit and Vadivelu came a close second with 19 films.

Directors Ramanarayanan and Sundar C directed three films each and topped the list. Sundar had a hit in Ullam Kollu Poguthe. K Balchander directed and released his 100th film starring Madhvan and Simran in the lead.

Amongst the new talents, Sham who made his debut with 12B is the most sought after hero in Tamil film industry because his first film has got him a lot of fans in the college-going crowd and is said to be a strong rival to Madhvan who managed to retain his slot with Minnale while his K Balchander film was a washout.

Among the debutante heroines, Rima Sen in Minnale, Gaytri Jayram in Manathe Thirudi Vittai, Anjala Zaveri in Ullam Kollu Poguthe, Bhoomika in Badri, Richa Pallot in Shahjahan and Sneha in Anandam were those who showed promise. Rinkie Khanna’s debut performance in Majnu was a disaster. Kavya Madhvan, the popular actress in Kerala, made her debut in Kaasi but did not create a ripple.

Besides this, a lot happened in the industry.
Actor Sarath Kumar and comedian SS Chandran were nominated as Rajya Sabha MPs.
Director Rajakumaran’s marriage with actress Devyani created a flutter in the film circles.
Sarath Kumar and Radhika who were longtime friends turned husband and wife last year.
Director Suresh married actress Meera, vamps Vichitra and Alphonsa too tied the nuptial knot.
Comedian Vyapuri got married.
Actress Nalini and Ramarajan’s divorce case caught the media attention.
The passing away of veteran actor Sivaji Ganesan left a void in the film industry. The Union Government released a stamp in his memory and the State government gave him state honours at the funeral.
The death of director Tirupathiswami in a car accident before his debut film Narasimha was released was the most tragic event. It led to the editor’s union to decide that they will not work for more than eight hours a day since the director was returning home in the early morning after working with the editor the whole night.
The accidental fall of Sarika Kamal Haasan upset the industry while the attack on the unit of Samudaram in Karnataka angered the Tamil film industry.
Actress Vindhya fled her house and accused her parents of forcing her to take up prostitution.
Rajanikant, with no release last year, continued to be the point of speculation about his next film. He, however, ruled out his coming to politics while his friend Kamal Haasan hinted about his desire to join politics.
Vijaykant’s hobnobbing with AIADMK supremo Jayalalitha set off reports that he had changed sides from DMK.

Unlike previous years, last year passed off without any strikes or major disputes. The film industry was, to a certain extent, to get support from all sections to enforce curbs on TV channels from showing new films clippings and telecasting interviews of artistes on festive days since it affected collections.

Ravichandran can be comparable --- samakaalam ah irukka vaippu niraya undu

Mohan -- in 1980's .. so can't compare as such
