Rajani's Film 6 to 60

I watched Rajani's film Aaril irunthu Arupathu Varai.(From 6 till 60). One of the 70's films of that time. We have always watched Rajani's latest crappy films(Sivaji !!! , Kuselan ) and when we see a film where we see him really act.
Lot of emotions involved in this movie and how small things make a lot of difference. 1970's are a time in Tamil cinema lot of new things were tried and poverty become a topic to be successful.

This film a favorite of Rajani and his acting abilities started to fail once he became super star, he started to have a thick cover around him and he didn't find the need to come out of it. Obviously he made his money.

The Movie starts with a very happy family and the eldest son is 6 years old. As usual the father dies and the mom also dies after that. The eldest son takes the entire responsibility of handling the family and starts to work at that time. He starts to work for Rs 90 a month and gets to work and reads in his spare time.
His sister marries a rich guy and his brother graduates in first class and then his brothers leave him. His wife dies and then he becomes rich and famous.

When he had a life , he had money , he had money but no life after that. The second half was too much of a drag and wondering how things go from bad to worse and then to awful and then its all rosy.
Later in the career he had "Dharmadurai" which involves 3 brothers, but the second half becomes a typical Super Star film.

I would not even noticed or wrote about this if this was a Kamal movie , since this was Rajani's movie (the guy who says a lot of other things, but make sure his wallet full ) , he is a preacher not a practicer and makes sure to use all the dumb people of Tamil Nadu.
Cho in his movie "Mohd-bin-Tuglaq" has a sentence "Makkal Muttalkal" , People are Idiots and Rajani is the one who understood that and makes all his money.
