വില്ലന്‍ വേളങ്ങളിലൂടെ പ്രേക്ഷക മനസ്സുകളില്‍ നിറഞ്ഞുനിന്ന നടന്‍ എം.എന്‍ നമ്പ്യാര്‍(89) അന്തരിച്ചു. ഉച്ചയ്‌ക്ക്‌ ഒരു മണിയോടെ ചെന്നൈയിലെ സ്വകാര്യ ആസ്‌പത്രിയിലായിരുന്നു അന്ത്യം. കഴിഞ്ഞ കുറച്ചുനാളുകളായി രോഗബാധിതനായി ചികിത്സയിലായിരുന്നു. 50 വര്‍ഷക്കാലം ദക്ഷിണേന്ത്യന്‍ സിനിമ രംഗത്ത്‌ സജീവമായിരുന്ന മഞ്ചേരി രാമന്‍ നമ്പ്യാര്‍ എന്ന എം.എന്‍ നമ്പ്യാര്‍ തമിഴ്‌, തെലുങ്ക്‌, മലയാളം, ഹിന്ദി എന്നീ ഭാഷകളിലായി ആയിരത്തിലധികം ചിത്രങ്ങളില്‍ അഭിനയിച്ചു. ജംഗിള്‍ എന്ന പേരില്‍ ഒരു ഇംഗ്ലീഷ്‌ ചിത്രത്തിലും അദ്ദേഹം പ്രത്യക്ഷപ്പെട്ടു.
അഭ്രപാളികളില്‍ പരുക്കനായ വില്ലനായി അഭിനയിച്ചപ്പോഴും യഥാര്‍ത്ഥ ജീവിതത്തില്‍ ഇതിന്‌ നേര്‍ വിപരീതമായി ഹൃദയാലുവും തികഞ്ഞ ഈശ്വരഭക്തനുമായിരുന്നു നമ്പ്യാര്‍. 1919 ല്‍ കണ്ണൂരില്‍ ജനിച്ച എം.എന്‍ 13 ാം വയസ്സില്‍ നവാബ്‌ രാജമാണിക്യം ട്രൂപ്പിലൂടെയാണ്‌ അഭിനയരംഗത്തേക്ക്‌ കടന്നുവരുന്നത്‌. 1935 ല്‍ പുറത്തിറങ്ങിയ ഭക്ത രാമദാസാണ്‌ ആദ്യ ചിത്രം. ബാലയ്യ മുതല്‍ മനോജ്‌(ഭാരതിരാജയുടെ മകന്‍) വരെ ഏഴ്‌ തലമുറയിലുള്ള നടന്മാര്‍ക്കൊപ്പം വേഷമിട്ടു.
ആരോഗ്യകാര്യങ്ങളില്‍ അതീവശ്രദ്ധാലുവായിരുന്ന എം.എന്‍ വീട്ടില്‍ നിന്ന്‌ കൊണ്ടുവരുന്ന ഭക്ഷണം മാത്രമേ കഴിച്ചിരുന്നുള്ളൂ. അതും സസ്യാഹാരങ്ങള്‍ മാത്രം. തമിഴില്‍ തിരക്കേറിയ നടനായി മാറയതോടെ നമ്പ്യാര്‍ നാടക മന്‍ട്രം എന്ന പേരില്‍ ഒരു നാടക ട്രൂപ്പ്‌ അദ്ദേഹം തുടങ്ങി.
ശബരിമല ശാസ്‌താവിന്റെ തികഞ്ഞ ഭക്തനായിരുന്നു എം.എന്‍ നമ്പ്യാര്‍. 65 വര്‍ഷമായി എല്ലാ മലയാള മാസവും ഒന്നാം തീയതി ശബരിമല ദര്‍ശനം നടത്താറുള്ള എം.എന്‍ മഹാ ഗുരുസ്വാമി എന്നാണ്‌ അറിയപ്പെട്ടിരുന്നത്‌. അനാരോഗ്യം കാരണം കഴിഞ്ഞ വര്‍ഷം മാത്രം അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്‌ ശബരിമലയില്‍ ദര്‍ശനത്തിനെത്താന്‍ കഴിഞ്ഞില്ല. പകരം മകനാണ്‌ ഇരുമുടിക്കെട്ടുമായെത്തിയത്‌.
എം.ജി.ആറിനൊപ്പമുള്ള 'ആയിരത്തില്‍ ഒരുവന്‍', ശിവാജി ഗണേശനൊപ്പം 'അമ്പികാപതി', ജമിനി ഗണേശനൊപ്പം 'മിസിയമ്മ', 'നെഞ്ചം മരപ്പതിലൈയ്‌ത്ത്‌ള തുടങ്ങിയവയാണ്‌ പ്രധാന ചിത്രങ്ങള്‍. 'ദിഗംബരസ്വാമിയാര്‍' എന്ന ചിത്രത്തില്‍ 11 വേഷങ്ങളില്‍ അഭിനയിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്‌. 'കല്യാണി', 'കവിത' എന്നീ ചിത്രങ്ങളില്‍ അദ്ദേഹം നായകനായും അഭിനയിച്ചു. സിനിമ, സീരിയല്‍, നാടകം എന്നീ മൂന്ന്‌ അഭിനയകളരിയിലും അദ്ദേഹം തിളങ്ങി. എല്ലാ നടന്മാരുമായും നല്ല ബന്ധം കാത്തുസൂക്ഷിച്ചിരുന്ന എം.എന്നിന്‌ ഏറ്റവും പ്രിയപ്പെട്ട അഭിനേതാക്കള്‍ എം.ആര്‍.രാധയും സാവിത്രിയുമായിരുന്നു. മലയാളത്തില്‍ ജയറാം ചിത്രമായ 'ഷാര്‍ജ ടു ഷാര്‍ജ', ദിലീപിനൊപ്പം 'കുബേരന്‍' എന്നിവയാണ്‌ അവസാനം അഭിനയിച്ച ചിത്രങ്ങള്‍.

PROGRESSION OF MAL. FILM MUSIC- ON THE RIGHT TRACK OR NOT???
PROGRESSION OF MAL. FILM MUSIC- ON THE RIGHT TRACK OR NOT???
Music is divine! Music is Universal! Music is soothing! Music is the Truth! Music is pain reliever ! Music takes you to a serenity... at times you are in trance ! Music brings peace of mind..!
Looking at the Mal film music scene it has gone through a metamorphosis.. from the simple tunes of folk and drama songs of 50s and early 60s to the sweet melodies filled with feel, lyrical quality, brilliant direction and sweet voices of mid 60s to late 70s... Perhaps that is aptly called the Golden Era of Mal Film music. ! Arrival of the great lyricists Vayalar, O N V, sreekumaran Thampi ,P.Bhaskaran, Yousuf Ali kecheri, to name a few along with brilliant music directors like Devarajan Master, Baburaj, Dhakshinamoorthy, Arjunan Master, Chidambaranath, Raghavan master again to name a few. The brilliance of their works were made evergreen or more aptly said immortal by the divine and golden voices of the likes of Yesudas, Janaki, Suseela and Jayachandran.. Gems produced by Devarajan- Vayalar or Baburaj-Bhaskaran , S.thambi-D.moorthi or Arjunan Mstr combinations became so touching When Yesudas gave voice to those creations.. The feel, sweetness, romance, depth, clarity and what not in his voice made all those songs evergreen in the listeners minds and hearts... Can any one ever forget the genius S.Janaki... Can anyone ever say that she was a non malayali? such is the commitment and talent she possessed that one can only sit and admire her.. what feel.. what a voice..
Baburaj's songs were given the full treatement the director wanted by Janakiamma.. Tharilittakanakal,. Sooryakanthi, thane thirinjum marinjum, vasantha panchami nalil, oru kochu pushpathin, eeranuduthumkondu, etc etc ..
Saddest part of that era was Devarjan Mstr -Janaki gems were extremely limited for reasons best known to them.. many theories and speculations had been there on this issue.. Suseela's classically rich voice gave some evergreen gems... then Jayachandran, the Bhava Gayakan stood on his own and kept his head high with own style of voice and singing.. !
Can we ever forget Salilda who revolutionised the mal music scene with his own style of music.. "Sagarame..." " kadarumasam", sarike, sandhye.., et etc... the list never ends.. all became hits..
Of course the contributions of Usha Khanna also cannot be forgotten.. !
The time passed and in 80s we saw the genius Ravindran Master emerging.. wow.. for a while one may wonder whether he belonged to the 70s golden era.. Perhaps to a large extent he and Johnson kept 80s and 90s going not to forget the likes of Ouseppachan, shyam, Jerry Amaldev etc..Pramadavanam, Devagangal ...etc will linger in our minds for ever.. But lyrical quality of many songs declined.. and slow transition of music into more mechanical, technical and modernity has been with lots of ups and downs. The other major gain for the musical scene was the melodius voice of Chitra and Sujatha.. There were underachievers like the brilliant Kannur Rajan , Gayathri etc with the turn of this century we saw the arrival of M.Jayachandran, Sarath,
and there was a revival in musical scene.. In between several trend changes took place.. some mediocre songs also came.. too much stress on technicalities and mechanisms used for recording.... But one has to adapt to the changes and one can only wish the musical scene will prosper in Malayalam.. Geniuses like Naushad too blessed us in between... classics from Dhwani songs?
Tailpiece.. : Can we ever forget Pransakhees, Thamasamenthes, indravallari, ayiram padasarangal... kayamboo, sundararavil nandana vaniyil , akale akale,, ,. chakravarthini, anuraga ganam pole, vasantha panchami, thaliritta kinakal,
Arikil, Himavahini, Chitra silapalikal, innale neeyoru sundararagamaym, ponveyil, ... list is endless... there is no space to put all here... ...
Sangeethame ..namikkatte aviduthe munnil???
