The
audio of Mandhira Punnagai was launched at
PVR cinemas on Wednesday, 20th October, 2010.
Mandhira Punnagai has been produced by Nagarajan
and Karthik Nagarajan for Indhira Pictures.
Karu Palaniappan has directed and has also
played the lead role in the film. Meenakshi,
Ramya and Maheshwari are the three female
leads of the movie. The music of Mandhira
Punnagai is composed by Vidyasagar.
The audio launch function was attended by
a host of celebrities from Kollywood and eminent
directors like Hari, Sasi Kumar, Samudirakani
and Dharani. There was buzz surrounding the
function with smiles and lots of chirpy activities.
While director Rama Narayanan released the
first CD of the movie, actor Parthiban, along
with others, received the first copy.
The trailer of the movie and three songs were
played to the audience present in the auditorium.
While the trailer looked interesting and evoked
a lot of interest among the people present,
Vidyasagar's melodies, along with cinematographer
Ramnath Shetty, brought magical smiles to
the faces. The songs looked very slick and
stylish and definitely served as the right
appetizer for the movie.
Speaking at the occasion, director Hari highlighted
the importance of planning and right promoting
techniques. Hari, who usually does not speak
much in public functions, had a lot of advice
to young and budding directors. "Directors
must plan way ahead of the movie's shoot.
Planning is essential because it saves a lot
of time, money and film rolls. Eventually,
it creates an impact on the producer",
Hari said. He also requested budding directors
to plan meticulously before taking up a project.
Taking a reference to Subramaniapuram, Hari
said, "Innovative promoting techniques
are important to draw crowds to the theatres.
Young talent must know ways to promote and
market a movie as it will make producers confident.
Subramaniapuram is a best example as it created
history with just newcomers but had different
marketing and promoting techniques".
This was acknowledged by Mr. Rama Narayanan
and Thyagarajan of Sathyajothi films with
loud applauses.
Director Jananathan, of Peranmai fame, saluted
Karu Palaniappan on his effort to direct and
act in the same movie. He felt that direction
itself is such a daunting task and acting
adds to the woes. Referring to an example
in a scene in Peranmai where there was a disagreement
between his assistant and the producer over
hiring an elephant for a scene, he said, "Karu
Palaniappan has the guts to hire the elephant
and also to mount on it. Directing a movie
has your mind in tatters and I salute Karu
Palaniappan for his stupendous effort".
Actor Parthiban, directors Samudirakani, Dharani,
Ezhil and other also spoke.
It was the turn of Karu Palaniappan in the
end to address the audience and the press.
Speaking about the movie, he said that love
does not occur just once in a person's lifetime.
When a press reporter asked if love can occur
more than once, he shot back by saying "There
can be only one love in a person's life. But
the question is when does that happen?"
Adding to his statement, he said that he still
falls in love with interesting women that
he comes across in life. "Even my wife
may have the same thoughts as mine",
he concluded.
Mandhira Punnagai is set for a release in
December.
