     2== Durai == 
     3Prominent 70s independent Tamil director. 
     4Former assistant to Yoganand and G.V. Iyer 
     5(Hamsa Geethe, 1975). First film, Avalum 
     6Penn Thaane, is a tragic portrayal of an 
     7orphaned woman saved from a vice den who 
     8sacrifices her life to protect another woman 
     9from being trapped into prostitution. It 
     10attracted some critical attention as one of the 
     11better mid-70s commercial films engaging with 
     12the feminist movement. However, he went on 
     13Doordarshan 
     1493 
     15to make a formula of this theme, featuring a 
     16series of florid female characters such as the 
     17tragic heroine who marries her lover’s son in 
     18Oru Veedu Oru Ulagam. Best-known film is 
     19Pasi, which redeems its sentimentalism 
     20through a realistic usage of dialect and a 
     21number of well-sketched characterisations. 
     22Worked in Hindi, Kannada, Telugu and 
     23Malayalam. Also scripted his films.
