This Tamil film is the most expensive Indian film at that time and kept that record for further 5 more decades until 2000's based one adjusted inflation rates. This is also why Tamil Cinema keep making the most expensive films in India, a legacy of this film
The producer sold everything he had his property his assets everything he had to make this flim( Biggest budget in India at that time)! But it did not get commercial sccess as he expected! One of the First flims to put south India on the spotlight!
During the making (of Chandralekha), our studio looked like a small kingdom ... horses, elephants, lions, tigers in one corner, palaces here and there, over there a German lady training nearly a hundred dancers on one studio floor, a shapely Sinhalese lady teaching another group of dancers on real marble steps adjoining a palace, a studio worker making weapons, another making period furniture using expensive rosewood, set props, headgear, and costumes, Ranjan undergoing fencing practice with our fight composer 'Stunt Somu', our music directors composing and rehearsing songs in a building ... there were so many activities going on simultaneously round the clock. - Kothamangalam Subbu on the film's production at Gemini Studios Source: Wikipedia
Amazing. I saw this movie when I'm very small. Watching now it brings goosebumps and the quote you able to get from a person saw this by first hand, simply ♥️
A big Thank you to the dear folks who recommended this gem❤️🙏 You do realize right.. If this was shot in 1943, this was before our country gained independence.. What an amazingly extraordinary feat to shoot these kinds of sequences so well even with all the challenges back then. Incredible video🙏😊😍🌹👌👏👍
This how our ancestor gave for us discussing the shots, directerical ideas, cathering mass people, get in to the single frame even after 72+ years... this is what art lived in hearts... Chandralekha is a Masterpeice of each and every indian cinema
Embarrassed to admit I had no clue that something this epic was produced in Indian cinema.. your channel is becoming the knowledge house of long lost treasures now
See a documentary film titled "An American in Madras" about Ellis Dungan, the American director who made several films in Madras (now Chennai) in the 1930's--1940's.
Thank you so much guys for giving us the opportunity to witness this....I am a Bengali...and haven't heard or seen this film or sequence about in my entire life...it is a shame though 😣....such an epic scale of production...from my own country....and never heard of it 😤....loved it....keep sharing these gems with us...lots of love to your channel ❤️
The last part was the Tamilian version of a TROJAN HORSE! 😛 Btw one thing to keep in mind is that they didn't have access to multiple cameras then so they had to shoot the whole sequence many times from different angles.
Atleast one comment i saw that it's the old version of the TROY film. And also for the camera techniques. In this film there are a lot of new and creative techniques are made (for ex in the circus scene : The old cameras are not having the zoom in & out features, although they capture the distance shot by moving the camera using a rope in that circus scene. ) Hats off to the old geniuses.
This is absolutely amazing and a hidden gem to most non-Tamilians! It was the most stunning thing from 1940s I have seen even from any where in the world!!! 👌👍 👏 👏 👏
The choice of video from South from you guys is awesome. This is the most costliest film so far considering the year. Also please react to Viswanathan velai vendum (1962 dance song) and adiye koluthey (2008 Tamil rock song)
This is a miracle of movie scene... This was inspirational to many TAMIl directors to many ages.. Eventhough this is a TAMIL movie this movie was a combined effort of all south regions.. I was admired by the idea of this sequence at that time.... We talk about budget now, what was the budget to produce then... It was huge... This was delight to audience also... This came out in a era where cinema was considered to be bad influence to society in South India. Huge respect to effort of all People behind this and vigor and bravery to make this effort... Thank you...

This dance trolled in Delhi Doordharshan every Friday at 10:30 after English 'The News ' night special proggrame " Focus " but not this lenght, just little bit , i still remembered it .
Being a Bengali I feel fortunate that I had seen this song few times in my childhood on India's National Television Doordarshan. It's sad that a huge population of our country are unaware of this specially non Tamilians. Thanks to OSR at least some of them get to see this song today.
This reminds of child hood TV experience, when in DoorDharshan (DD channel - where I watched this movie when I was a child) all great creative work from all over India was shared with subtitles unlike now where TV schedule is decided only based on TRP.
Yes right, Indian films bcoz foreign countries only know Bollywood as representation of Indian films till very recently. Most of Bollywood films had flashy, glamourous, over the top action dance and song sequence giving lesser importance to scripts and creativity. This glossiness tempted other Indian film industries to follow them...
@@sheenaiyer4434 But people cannot keep on banking on a particular film industry. People are changing, due to advent of technology many people have access of watching Good movies made in other industries other than Bollywood, especially in South India. I am astounded to notice that Tamil actor Vijay Sethupathi has more fan following in Maharashtra and North India (Till now he hasn't acted in any Hindi movie). Also he has fans from Georgia, Pakistan, Bangladesh and other countries too. Now after the OTT releases every film would have chances to get international recognition.

Chandralekha , Is classic for all ages . The most expensive Indian film of its time . A grand finale promises Never seen on screen ,The Most important set peice, "The drum dance" , The highlight of this film , the first of it's kind in Indian Cinema . So artistic, fabulous and brilliantly choreographed
@@rahulgm1685 yes you are right, but I am talking about DD national,. But those were great memories. I remember Chandrlekha, Gopi gayan bagha bayen, etc
This was the most expensive Non-English movie back then... Directed and produced by S.S.Vasan with a budget of 6lakh USD back then... This was also the first movie to get dubbed versions in indian cinema(maybe the first pan indian film??)
Rick noticing Shadow continuity, hats off really what a epic gem you introduced me to. Thank you. I heard about it but never watched it. Now going to for sure.
I second ur thought @Reshma Umesh...i was supposed to recommend Chandralekha Drum Dance and Dance duel between India's Bharathanatyam legends Padmini and Princess Vyjayanthimala! It was from a movie VANJIKOTTAI VALIBAN. Those times have given us real classics!
Hi.. must react.. kannum kannum kalanthu ( movie Vanji kottai vaaliban) old competitive dance between legendary dancers Padmini and vaijainthi mala.. film from 50s I think... Great classical dance performance 👍
All credit goes to the director S.S.VAASAN, who is also the founder of tamilnadu's 95 year old famous weekly magazine called 'vikatan' (started in 1926) which carried the best cinema reviews for decades until the TH-camrs came.
This film was shot for 5 long years and it's budget was 5 lakh rupees at that time. It was when you could buy one ground of land with roughly 80 to 100 rupees. The budget of this song alone was 2 lakh rupees and it was thrice more than a budget any film at that time would have cost. The dance form for the elegance and comfort taken from Sinhalese dancing style and the best of the best dancer was transported to india, to teach all the dancers at that time. It was the most expensive production till now, taken the risk and screens they had at that time for release. This is truly a miracle...
Kudos to you guys for choosing a timeless wonder scene from pretty old but eternally popular film Chandrakeka. Everything is physical, and the pal for a great climax. You have good tate boys. Congrats. Mind No digital-facility.
It was one of the hit and popular film of that era and still now. It was a great work during that period without any technology, only man-made stuff with amazing artitechtural activities.😍😍😍😍😍
Tamil Indestry... Actor RANJAN.. This actor RANJAN NO. 1 FIRST AUROPLAIN... LEICENCE POILET ... great acting this film... RECORD... big budget Indian FIRST FILM... CHANTHIRA LAKHA...
It took so long(5 years) for the production mainly because of world war 2, which I guess you both know had cost India dearly(remember shashi tharoor's speech in Oxford University). It was the time of scarcity of everything, yet the production studio, Gemini Studio, invested heavily on it. It then turned out to be an iconic piece in Indian cinema, if not world cinema, during that time.
In 1940's the film cost most than 1 crore rupees. At that time 1 rupees was equal to 1 dollar. Forget Bollywood even Hollywood couldn't make a film like that at that time
Wow...❤️ It was mesmerizing 😍 I didn't know even back then we had such beautiful choreography without much technology 😱. Indeed beautiful things take time to happen. Kudos to director and his entire crew 🙏🏻👍❤️ proud of Indian cinema🥰
A must watch film too. Was originally made in Tamil (released April 1948) & later in Hindi (released Dec 1948) with considerable changes. The Hindi version became a huge success. Ahead of its time in every aspect & add to that brilliant songs.
Hey Bro's The background poster is Awesome,, but Three Iconic actors are missed in the poster,, 1. M.G.R 2. Shivaji Ganeshan 3. Super Star Rajini Kanth
Please Do check out the final Swords Duel between M.K. Radha and Ranjan. That was Epic too. They say "The": "Errol Flynn" Himself (who wielded Swords with Amazing dexterity in His Adventure movies) was Brought over by Gemini S.S. Vaasan who gave some personal Training for this Fight sequence.
Damn 1st time watched & have to say today they can't make this grand scale film. If it happens in present time this particular drum dance must have got it's deserved recognition.
Superb Work...must be acknowledge massive amount of time and money to get it done .. This surely biggest Project story screenplay Performances BGM Cinematagraphy Dancers...
This film is an absolute masterpiece in film making . ! Whoever recommend this to you ! Salute ! Thanks to dad I saw this movie as a kid in 1980 in B/W TV - DD . Mind blowing trendsetter, turning point in indian movie industry. 👍👍 3.5 hours I did not miss a single moment between 11 pm to 2.30 am. ! Wow . This was the climax scene of mammoth proportions. Unimaginable in those times. Still vivid memories remain. Got goosebumps 🤩😍👍 amazing movie. Bow to the dedicated team led by legend s s vasan - 🙏🙏 who dared to attempt such a grandeur. 👍
Previous generations of film makers have inspired the current generation and the future ones will also get inspired accordingly. That is how knowledge flows. If everything becomes cheating or stealing then only the first filmmaker should have had the right to make films. Everyone else STOLE the idea of film making.
Now it's the time for you to watch 'Avvaiyar' movie starred by Legendary Smt K.B.Sundarambal. Especially, the climax scene of the movie. They did the great cinematography in the climax. Have a marvellous picture, Guys !!💓💐🤝✨
You guys have to react to more old songs in Tamil... I am not degrading the current filmmaking but the effort they took in each and every aspects in those days is jawdropping. With very less technology, they provided vishual treat which need immense effort... My suggestions are Kannum kannum kalanthu song from vanchi kotai valiban Manam padaithaen from kandan karunai Mannavan vanthanadi from Thiruvarutselvar
A copy of this film is in Congressional library of USA. It is Classic of all time. It was released in 1948 less tqn a year after independence of India when it was undergoing a diabolic partition of India by the British. Billy Wood has never reached such a height not by Sanjay Bansali or Bahubali. He had hired an entire 3 ringed circus for the movie. Cecile B. Devilled Pale shadow before him. He is and was the Greatest showman on earth not Barnunum and Bailey. This just the get you understand what India particularly Tamil Nadu is capable of.

Wow 😲 I'm from Tamilnadu but.... now only i seeing this Epic cinematic video 🎥 ✨👌
Thats the vision and grandeur of the legendary S S vasan
It is believed it withould take more than 900 crores to make this movie again
That to before the Independence which is 1947 so it must have been so much work.
Now because of foreigners, i coming across the real gems of India. Thank you for this beautiful channel.
Tamil movies paved way for technology. Epic movie
This film is an absolute masterpiece in film making . ! Whoever recommend this to you ! Salute ! Thanks to dad I saw this movie as a kid in 1980 in B/W TV - DD . Mind blowing trendsetter, turning point in indian movie industry. 👍👍 3.5 hours I did not miss a single moment between 11 pm to 2.30
am. ! Wow . This was the climax scene of mammoth proportions. Unimaginable in those times. Still vivid memories remain. Got goosebumps 🤩😍👍 amazing movie. Bow to the dedicated team led by legend s s vasan - 🙏🙏 who dared to attempt such a grandeur. 👍
Now you know from where Sanjai leela stole his scenes.
but frankly them mentioning his name during this song was irritating ;)
Previous generations of film makers have inspired the current generation and the future ones will also get inspired accordingly. That is how knowledge flows. If everything becomes cheating or stealing then only the first filmmaker should have had the right to make films. Everyone else STOLE the idea of film making.
Gives me immense pride to think that something of this scale was first conceived in India.
Now it's the time for you to watch 'Avvaiyar' movie starred by Legendary Smt K.B.Sundarambal. Especially, the climax scene of the movie. They did the great cinematography in the climax. Have a marvellous picture, Guys !!💓💐🤝✨
I had not seen this, thanks for shring this.
Incredible!
Woww this was one heck of an experience!
Finally tis song has seen some spotlight after lot of recommendation
Plz react to "Kannum Kannum Kalanthu" a Tamil song from the 1958 film Vanjikottai Valiban
Am so proud that am pure tamilian and I have very good, decent culture❤
Love from South Indian 🙏 There are many movies like this in Tamil to watch do take time to watch you will be amazed 😍
Do watch the song "pookal pookum tharunam" from the movie " madharaspattinam" .
When i was small my mom told me this the one of the oldest expensive song..but ignore and make fun of this master piece..... 😔😔😔😔
You guys have to react to more old songs in Tamil... I am not degrading the current filmmaking but the effort they took in each and every aspects in those days is jawdropping. With very less technology, they provided vishual treat which need immense effort... My suggestions are
Kannum kannum kalanthu song from vanchi kotai valiban
Manam padaithaen from kandan karunai
Mannavan vanthanadi from Thiruvarutselvar
A copy of this film is in Congressional library of USA. It is Classic of all time. It was released in 1948 less tqn a year after independence of India when it was undergoing a diabolic partition of India by the British. Billy Wood has never reached such a height not by Sanjay Bansali or Bahubali.
He had hired an entire 3 ringed circus for the movie.
Cecile B. Devilled Pale shadow before him. He is and was the Greatest showman on earth not Barnunum and Bailey. This just the get you understand what India particularly Tamil Nadu is capable of.
And one more thing through this film and dubbed hindi version TR Rajakumari Amma became first actress in indian cinema history famous all over india
Hi guys please watch KANNUM KANNUM KALANDHU song from VANJIKKOTTAI VAALIBAN movie... Famous old song 🥰🥰🥰
You guys are really good!
