Palaivana Rojakkal (lit.'Desert roses') is a 1986 Indian Tamil-language political satire film written by M. Karunanidhi and directed by Manivannan. It is a remake of the Malayalam film Vartha, released earlier the same year. The film stars Sathyaraj, Lakshmi, Nalini and Prabhu in lead roles. It focuses on a journalist, his lover and his friend as they fight a corrupt system to expose unscrupulous politicians. Palaivana Rojakkal was released on 1 November 1986 and became a commercial success.

Plot

Journalist Sabarathinam, his lover and his friend fight a corrupt system to expose unscrupulous politicians.

Cast

Production

The production company Poompuhar Productions, which was on a sabbatical, decided to resume film production to raise both political and financial capital. They chose to remake the 1986 Malayalam film Vartha in Tamil with the title Palaivana Rojakkal,[3] meaning "desert roses".[4] M. Karunanidhi wrote the screenplay and dialogue, while Manivannan directed the film, which was produced by Murasoli Selvam.[1][5] Sathyaraj said he accepted to act in the film because it was a remake of a successful film, and was guaranteed to do well.[6] Karunanidhi appeared as himself onscreen, giving the opening and closing monologues.[7][1]

Themes

Palaivana Rojakkal is about the freedom of the press,[8] and the "struggle between corrupt politicians and angry heroes".[9] Writing in the Economic and Political Weekly, historian Kanakalatha Mukund considered that Karunanidhi, unlike in Manohara (1954) where he "virtually blasted the audience with extremely dramatic, alliterative dialogues", used "a far more subdued and sophisticated style to convey his political message" in this film.[10] Film critic Baradwaj Rangan compared Palaivana Rojakkal to Karunanidhi's Parasakthi (1952) for the way they "took on the times".[7]

Soundtrack

The soundtrack was composed by Ilaiyaraaja, while the lyrics were written by Gangai Amaran.[11]

Release and reception

Palaivana Rojakkal was released on 1 November 1986, during Diwali day.[12][13] In a review dated 7 November 1986, The Indian Express wrote, "One sees [Karunanidhi's] stamp in the hyperbolic references to the pen being mightier than the sword, and in certain needless allusions, but these however are not too long or too frequent to detract from the value of the film. The main strength of [Palaivana Rojakkal] is that it has some lively characters."[1] Ananda Vikatan, in a review dated 23 November, rated the film 51 out of 100.[14] Following Karunanidhi's death in August 2018, Baradwaj Rangan called it "the most sensational movie from the mighty pen of Kalaignar Karunanidhi".[7] Despite facing competition from Maaveeran and Punnagai Mannan,[15] the film emerged a commercial success, and was instrumental in establishing Sathyaraj as a "mass hero".[16] It also led to a slew of political films being made, mainly those which spoke against MLAs and ministers, depicting them as womanisers, drunkards and wheeler dealers.[17]
