By Our Staff ReporterThe newly laid concrete

roads in T. Nagar which arealmost 4 inches in height havenot been engineered properly.

The sides of the road havenot been tapered causing aproblem for residents who arefinding it difficult to take theirvehicles out and also to othermotorists, especially two-wheelers, who are likely to tripat the road edges.

There are four-inch deeptrenches in the middle of theroad around sewage manholesas these have not been raisedto the new road level.

The two-foot wide spaces leftat the road margins for pedes-trians are dirt paths and un-even in a number of places.Pedestrians are hence forcedto walk on the paved surface,risking their lives.

The photos were taken inArulambal Street, T. Nagar.

The Making of ‘Meera’ (1945)The incognito visit of Akbar and Tansen to listen to

Meerabai’ssoulful music and leaving behind as gift a bag of goldcoins bearingthe Mogul Royal Seal is a highlight of the Maraboutalein theplays in many languages like Telugu, and also thefilm.

The making of the movie ‘Meera’ is interesting and the ‘backstory’ (as they call it in Hollywood!) deserves to be told in length.

As a brilliant technician trained in Hollywood, Ellis R. Dunganbroughtin many creative, technical innovations never everbefore seen inIndian Cinema of that period.

Dungan shot a scene which created history in south Indianfilmtechnique. The girl Meera (Baby Radha, MSS’s step-daugh-ter) changesinto the young womanMeera (MSS) and the tran-sition is made with amelodious song sung by Baby Radha andMSS, ‘Nanda balaa ennmanalaaa...” When the change-overtakes place, there is a 45-secondfast-paced background or-chestral musical interlude as bridge as part ofthe song.

Normally such background musical interludes arealsorecorded along with the song in a recording studio longbefore thefilm shoot commences. But Dungan did not do so.Heshot the scene first and the change-over sequence consisted ofanumber of shots of the statue of Lord Krishna….lightedcandles with

flames flickering ...flowers on plates… prayerofferings….Krishna’sflute in the statue….and then a cut to aclose-up of MSS singing withgreat feeling and emotion, “HeyMuraleee Mohanaa….!” The shots werestaticand also on fasttrolley in close-up. (There were no ‘zoom lenses’ in 1944-1945!).Dungan edited them all by himself into arapidly-cut, fast-pacedsequence and then the sadly underrated buthighly talentedmusic composer S. V. Venkataraman scored thebackgroundmusic in rhythm with the shots in a recording theater. Theimpactwas ecstatic and brilliant. It was the first time that such atechnique was used in Indian Cinema. Even today, nearly after70 years, this sequence evokes admiration and is breathtak-ing!

(S.V. Venkataraman told this writer during the 1980s,“Randor, Ialmost went mad scoring music for that bit! In thosedays we had onlymono-channel recording and few mikes, notlike today. I had manyinstruments playingand the playerswere seated on the floor.Onlythe piano-man was given achair.It was hard work and took a wholeday! But the resultswere excellent as you can see. Only Dungan couldthink of sucha thing...! He was a wonderful man….a genius!”)

During his visit to Madras during the early 1990s, Dungantold this writerthat he was eager to meet his music composerVenkataraman. This writerconveyed his wish to SVV but thelatter refused to meet him for aninteresting reason. ‘Dunganhas seen me when I was a young man and was handsome. Itis now nearly 50 years later and I have grown old,infirm andwrinkled and have no wish for him to see me in this state!Lethim retain the memories of mine of 1940s!” When this replywasconveyed to Dungan he burst into a loud laugh and said,“That’s theold boy, Randor!”

Another experiment Dungan made in ‘Meera’ is also uniqueand few havedone it to this day in India. MSS was a woman ofexceptional beautyand charisma, radiating inner charm. Tocapture it all on camera andproject her ethereal beauty,Dungan made an experiment with hiscameraman, anothermovie camera wizard, Jiten Bannerjee. He had amould madeof MSS’s face and took shots of it from different angleswithvaried patterns of lighting. The shots were cut into framesandthose were studied repeatedly by Dungan and Bannerjee onscreen with aslideprojector. The best angles and lighting pat-terns wereselected and used whiled shooting the film. Conse-quently the close-ups of MSS in ‘Meera’ are captivating, evok-ing appreciation from even filmtechnicians of today. (This filmis in black and white.)

Other songs by MS in ‘Meera’ are ‘Kaatriniley varum geetham’,‘Enadhu ullamey’, ‘GiridharaGopala’, ‘Hey HareyDayalaa’,’Maraveney yenn naalilume’, ‘Maraindhakoondil’,‘Engum niraindhaayey’ (an eternally hauntingmelody, it has amale voice in the beginning and that’s S. V.Venkataramansinging),’Janardhanaa Jagannathaa’ and ‘BrindhavanathilKannan valarndha’ (a melodious chorus with MSS leading).
