Prem Nazir

@@ +1 @@
+'''Prem Nazir (1928-89)'''
+
+
+Aka Chiriyinkil Abdul Kader. Actor born in
+Chiriyinkil, South Kerala, and graduated from
+St Berchman’s College, Changanassery. Biggest
+star in Malayalam film history. Started in
+Kunchako’s Excel company. The bulk of his
+prodigious output was for the Udaya and
+Merryland Studios where he was the first of a
+new generation of stars manufactured to
+bolster specifically Malayalam film genres.
+Nazir, the oldest of the generation (cf. Sathyan
+and Madhu), resembles e.g. Gemini Ganesh.
+His image merged with what Ayyappa Panicker
+(1987) called ‘the second generation of
+romantics’, poets working within a tradition
+framed largely by Vallathol (1878-1958) and
+exemplified by ‘pastoral’ poets Changampuzha
+and G. Sankara Kurup. Most famous Malayalam
+film lyricists emerged from that tradition
+(Vyalar Rama Varma, O.N.V. Kurup, P.
+Bhaskaran) and Nazir’s acting is a
+performative counterpart to their imagery. His
+embodiment of the ideal male is usually seen
+as more accessible than e.g. Sathyan’s
+remoteness, and at its best it drew attention to
+exploitative aspects of social and religious
+systems (Padatha Paingili), the breakdown
+of the joint family (e.g. Kariat’s Maya) and the
+modern engagement with folk narratives (e.g.
+Unniyarcha). With the new generation of 60s
+film-makers such as Vincent (the ghost story
+Bhargavi Nilayam) and K.T. Mohammed
+(Nazir’s classic village simpleton in
+Thurakatha Vathil), the films tend to
+elaborate a strangely intermediate world
+between fantasy and the contemporary,
+culminating in his consecration as a totally selfcontained
+icon, a development evoked in
+Lenin Rajendran’s Prem Nazirine
+Kanmanilla with Nazir, playing himself,
+kidnapped by tribals and ‘forgotten’ by the
+outside world as he matches his unreality with
+that of tribals living outside his definitions of
+the world. Wrote a book on the film characters
+he played, Enne Thediyetha Kathapatrangal.
