Rajapart Rangadurai


Rajapart Rangadurai is a 1973 Tamil Drama Film, directed by P. Madhavan. It stars Sivaji Ganesan and Ushanandini.
It narrates the story about a poor drama actor. It is a film on theatre artists who, through time have been ignored, they play all roles from mythology characters to patriotic people, but fail to appeal to modern viewers who are drawn to more glamour and glitter. It is a symbolic film of the past being rejected by the present, and that love and affection have no place in a selfish world. This is one of Sivaji Ganesan's most outstanding film roles, where he portrays characters like Bhagat Singh, Joker, Tiruppur Kumaran and even lord Murugan.
