Jeyamohan is a bold writer whose courageous stand on MGR and Sivaji Ganesan has been the [[Tamil Film Industry]]'s bugbear recently. Jeyamohan has called MGR for all he was worth - a 2-bit movie star with absolutely no acting skills that relied on gimmicks and fake melodrama to corrall votes for his political party. As a chief minister MGR was a populist that relied on reinforcing people's poverty so he could highlight his generosity on his way to his political chair. He was a shameless disgrace to the people of Tamilnadu, but, was the best of all the Chief Ministers that ruled after him. That should say something about the greatness of our Politicians and the hypocrisy of the TN film industry that chooses to lick their derriere quite so fashionably!! |
