The strain that rajaraja cholan had to build the big temple in Thanjavur the way the author explained is very embrasing. Small characters also he brought to our notice and gave important. Many character name we not even heard about Mr. He brought that character in the front of our eyes. When i am reading that book i imagine actor Shivaji as Rajaraja cholan. If we take the book in hands we wont leave it down until we finish.ĭuring the reading we can see the chola kingdoms ruling, the beauty of dancing, the method of art the culture of the people. He has written the novel in such a superb manner no one can turn his face from the novel. Each and every part of the novel will drag us to the cholas period. He is survived by his wife and two children.I have read many of the Balakumaran Novels "Irumbu kuthiraigal" like that but i am impressed by the novel 'UDAIYAR' very much. He was also honoured with the Thamizh Thendral Thiru.Vi.Ka Award in January this year, on Thiruvalluvar Day.

Sindhu Bhairavi, Kadhalan, Badshah and Idhu Namba Aalu are wonderful creations of his. But it gave only successes to Balakumaran. The silver screen had kept big names like Pudhumaipithan, Akilan, B S Ramaiah, and Vindhan in a corner. Very few writers who ventured into cinema got the appreciation they deserved. Veteran lyricist and author Vairamuthu says, "Balakumaran was one of the important persons who grabbed the collar of the generation which slowly forgot the habit of reading, and asked them to read first and think later. No other writer can fill the void he has left."

There are writers whose dialogues click well with a certain section of the audience, but Balakumaran sir ruled the hearts of everyone with his unique style of writing. He always maintained his consistency irrespective of the star value of the film. His versatility always surprised me he penned the serious dialogues for social thrillers like Gentleman and Citizen and also worked on offbeat films like Manmadhan and Pudhupettai. For instance, the single line 'Ivargal inge pudhaikapadavillai vidhaika pattu irukirargal ' conveyed the depth of the emotions involved with the story precisely. The detailing and nuances he added to his films through his dialogues was astonishing. We worked together for almost eight months for the dialogues of Citizen. He was a genius at adding realism to dialogues and elevating them to the next level. We've lost a wonderful soul."Ĭitizen director Saravana Subbiah says, "Balakumaran sir's loss is irreplaceable. His command over Tamil and his sense of humour were impeccable. It was always a pleasure working with him. He was such a soft-spoken and God-fearing person. He was a living dictionary and university. We've lost one more legend in the industry. There are no words to express how great a loss his passing is."Īctor Prashanth, whose films like Jeans and Majunu had dialogues written by Balakumaran, says, "It's truly unfortunate. He was so knowledgeable you could talk to him about anything. But he was always encouraging and never treated me like a fresher. I was only in my first year of college when I directed my first film, Mugavari I hadn't even worked as an assistant to any director.

Despite being a legend, he never had a bit of ego. More than a scriptwriter and an author, he was a spiritual guide to many people. VZ Durai, who worked with Balakumaran in his directorial debut Mugavari and Kadhal Sadugudu, says, "The time I spent with Balakumaran sir was a fantastic period. He also ventured into direction, with the 1988 Bhagyaraj comedy Idhu Namba Aalu. This was his sole directorial, however. His work includes critically-acclaimed films like Baashha, Gentleman, Guna, and Pudhupettai. There on, Balakumaran's contributions in films were mainly in the field of script doctoring and dialogue writing. The celebrated novelist forayed into Tamil cinema with Mani Ratnam's Nayakan, assisting the director in scripting the film's dialogues.
