Mahanati: Worth the hype?

Disclaimer: Some incessant ranting on your way (I can’t believe that it’s 1300+ words). Please stop reading if you dislike reading lengthy posts. This post is a downpour of my emotions/feelings as I watch the film. This is not a review because I am not a film critic to pen down such. This post is based on some archives, some self-understanding and some information which I got from my parents and grandparents. I can’t guarantee 100% authenticity of it. Also, pardon my grammatical errors.

My heartfelt words of praise to the intelligent film makers as they succeed in their objective -The film has done great job at the box office and has garnered accolades from the audience and the critics. Why intelligent? Because they saw many benefits including monetary ones (no wonder, cinema is also about money making) from this biopic.

Not many from the present generation of Telugu people (especially teenagers) know much about this legendary artist of the 1950s called Savitri. Most of them have hardly seen her work. She has done 148 Telugu films, 102 Tamil films, 6 Kannada films, 6 Hindi films and 3 Malayalam films that make the total of 265 films spending 30 years in the cinema industry.

People from the 50-60s age group, who have seen her work and have adored her acting would be curious to watch this movie, even though they knew the same things about her life, which were going to be showcased in the movie.

I was initially disinterested about this movie due to these reasons -  

Right from my childhood, I have grown up watching Savitri Amma’s films. I have lost count of how many times I watched them. These classics are so close to my heart that I remember every dialogue from every nook and corner of her films. Such was her enthralling screen presence and acting. One instance would be the scene where she expresses through those beautiful eyes in the song ‘Kolu Koloyamma’ from the movie ‘Gundamma Katha’ is splendid. I was afraid that scenes reproduced in her biopic may tamper the memories of those precious scenes for me. Some of my favourites (in no order of preference) include: Maayabazaar, Paandava Vanavaasam, Narthanasaala, Kanyasulkam, Dr. Chakravarthi, Devadasu, Missamma, Mooga Manasulu, Kalasi Unte Kaladu Sukham and the list is just endless.

I could not see anyone except her. How much ever good one might be in reproducing Savitri Amma on screen, my eyes would not at all relate to her. When I saw posters of Savitri and Keerthy Suresh one beside the other, I was like “Savitri Amma ekkada and Keerthy Suresh ekkada?” (Nay! No comparisions at all!). I knew her previous work and thus had very less expectations from her.

When heroines were on screen, none of us would concentrate on their physique. Well, this can be partially attributed to those golden days of movies where glamour was not the one and only constraint for heroines to sustain in the market. Savitri was one such heroine who had this amazing capability to keep our eyes glued to the screen by her performance. She was obese and so were other heroines like Bhanumathi Ramakrishna. Her position started fading away in the 60s, because she gained more weight. After she got addicted to alcohol, she lost weight but still enacted many small useless roles. The sight was so heart wrenching in the movie ‘Gorintaku’. I couldn’t see her like that. It was difficult for me to digest the fact that this was the same woman who had big and beautiful eyes, now succumbed to alcohol, looking so pale and weak. I didn’t have that courage to watch that being iterated.

I have seen my grandparents and my parents loathe Gemini Ganesan (GG). They believe that he was responsible for her fall. We failed to understand the reason behind Savitri falling in love with him. I was not ready to watch their love story. He was already married, was 13-15 years older than her and was in a relationship with Pushpavalli. She did the biggest mistake of her life by marrying him and choosing to live as his second wife. I don’t know what kind of a man he was. He married Juliana Andrews in 1997 almost when he was in his 70s or 80s. This makes me detest him, how much ever ‘Kaadhal Mannan’ (King of Romance) he might be.

But I gave up my dubiety. I watched the film with low expectations and I have mixed feelings at the end of it. The first half of the film was a letdown. There were lot of fictional elements added. A lot of creative liberty was taken in the plot of the film. Madhuravani and Antony’s angle was totally unnecessary. She is a fictional character who becomes a story telling device, narrating the story from a third person perspective. I don’t get why audiences found them cute. I was here to watch Savitri’s story, not their love story. But, it is true that this Tamil article was published by writer Sivashankari. The child Savitri phase was too fictionalised. Rajendra Prasad’s portrayal of Savitri’s uncle K V Chowdary was remarkable. DQ as usual does a great job. Many elements were ignored conveniently. Others in the supporting cast were just too middle-of-the-road. Keerthy Suresh’s acting in the recreated B&W scenes was just passable. She plainly imitated her. From where one can bring that demeanor Savitri possessed? Her personality, her eyes and acting versatility cannot be rivalled to that of Keerthy’s as the audiences claim. I was literally bored watching the sweet love story of GG and Savitri. A special mention to the ‘Mooga Manasulu’ song which is based on the tune from the movie ‘Devdasu’. An awesome visual delight it is.

Then came the second part and *boom*. A fabulous transition by Keerthy. She owned the second half. Her performance was outstanding. There were some issues here as well. The editing was low key. GG was never jealous of her. And second that she was so passionate about acting that lest she considered quitting films. Rest all is okay in this half. I have watched those photographs of her where she was seen riding an elephant with GG. She used to donate a lot of money to the people, and had an interest in buying big vintage idols of Gods and Goddesses. And yeah, her rash driving LOL. The arc from where she becomes ‘Mahanati’ (Great Actress), ‘Nadigayar Thilagam’, the one who used to have many cars, a swimming pool in her big mansion to phase where she distances herself from her family, gets addicted to alcohol, people cheating on her, her getting bankrupt… Every emotion illustrated was fantastic. 

And my worst fears came true. I started crying incessantly in the theater. Although I have known this story since childhood, watching it coming live on the silver screen was so agonising. And the climax and the songs ‘Chivaraku Migiledi’ (This one like the song ‘Mooga Manasulu’ is also one of her films’ names as well. There are so many elements in the film which were related to her films, like the name of the character Madhuravani was indeed the name of Savitri’s character in ‘Kanyasulkam’. One more instance where she refers both Tamil and Telugu industries dear to her, ‘Puttinillu Mettinillu’ is name of her another movie. I just loved this detailing) and ‘Gelupu Leni Samaram’ just added to it. I couldn’t stop myself from crying. Thank God, her face wasn’t shown to us, when she slips into coma. Thanks for sparing us that pain. This movie has done a decent job, but is quite lengthy, the scenes which were cut from the film were good. If they avoided those added fictional things and instead included these scenes, it would have been better.

Evelyn De Morgan said – “Art is eternal, but life is short”. True that. Savitri Amma died in her 40s. She was in coma for one and a half year. Like Divya Bharathi, Soundarya, Madhubala, and Sri Devi, she was gone too early. What remain are timeless treasures of their work.

"We have been talks with Keerthy, but she's mostly likely to be part of the project. She's currently out of town and once she's back, we will make an official announcement. We hope to finalise things with her later this week," director Nag Ashwin told IANS.

Interestingly, diva Samantha has been roped in to play a pivotal role in the film.

Speaking about the biopic, Ashwin said, "There have been countless actresses over the last 80 years in Telugu cinema but none have earned the title of Mahanati, and even today it has solely been reserved for Savitri."

Actor Savitri was born on January 4, 1936. She made her acting debut in 1950 with the Tamil-Telugu drama Samarasam.

She went on to star in several classics such as Devadasu, Missamma, Pennin Perumai, Pasa Malar, Bhale Ramudu, Mayabazaar, Kalathur Kannama and Gundamma Katha.

With Mahanati, the director feels to revisit time and bring back vivid memories of the legend on screen.
