Nadodi Thendral
Nadodi Thendral was a 1992 Tamil language film directed by Bharathiraja and written by Sujatha Rangarajan. It starred Karthik and Ranjitha in the lead roles. The music was provided by Ilayaraja.The music score by Ilayaraja was of much talk. As usual his background score and original score were fantastic. Ilayaraja penned story for this movie and also some lyrics. Featuring an international cast, the film was a period movie set in British India and was based on a triangular love story between a goldsmith Karthik, a gypsy woman Ranjitha and the district collectors sister. Some critics opine that later movies such as the Hindilanguage blockbuster Lagaan and the 2010 Tamillanguage movie Madrasapattinam were inspired by Nadodi Thendral.
