Ramachandran’s Philosophical Film Songs that Contain the Ideas of Socialistic and Communistic Ideas Which can be Compared More Specifically with the Communist Manifesto as Propounded by Karl Marx and Engels – An Academic Comparative Study, using a Novel Methodology

Abstract

It is a fact that super-hero like Makkal Thilagam Bharat Ratna Dr.M.G.Ramachandran took upon himself the responsibility of not only producing quality movies but also paid personal attention to produce quality songs as he thought that good messages could be propagated through film songs to millions of his fans. In view of this Bharat Ratna Dr.M.G.Ramachandran availed the assistance of peers, and eminent lyricist like the great Pattukottaiyar, Kaviyarasu Kannadasan, Kavinger Valli,Marudhakasi,and also encouraged emerging writers like Na.Muthulingam to write songs for his movies. Given such extraordinary efforts made by Puratchi Thalaivar Dr.MG Ramachandran, his film songs contain ideas of ethics, denouncing corruptive practice, right to education, equity and social justice (communism). In this paper, an attempt has been made to deal with fourteen of such songs that contain the ideas that can be compared with Socialistic and Communistic theory as propounded by the Great Karl Marx.
