Cast
Crew
ProductionThe film was produced by N. S. Draviam (N. S. Krishnan’s brother), under the banner of Vijaya Films. The film was directed by R. S. Mani, who trained under the American Tamil filmmaker, Ellis R. Dungan. This film was written by C. V. Sridhar. Aloysius Vincent was the cinematographer while the choreography was handled by Madhavan, Hiralal and Sohanlal.[2] ThemesPunar Janmam highlights the dangers of alcoholism. Film historian Randor Guy notes that the scene where Shankar saves Parvathi and gives her "a new lease of life" reflects the film's title, which means "rebirth".[2]SoundtrackThe soundtrack was composed by T. Chalapathi Rao, with lyrics by Pattukkottai Kalyanasundaram, Kannadasan, A. Maruthakasi and Subbu Arumugam. Playback singers are T. M. Soundararajan, A. M. Rajah, Seerkazhi Govindarajan, Thiruchi Loganathan, P. Suseela, Jikki, S. Janaki & Saraswathi. A song, Paadam Sariyaa Master sung by Trichi Loganathan and Jikki was objected to by the censor board on the grounds that it undermines the relationship between teacher and student. However, the gramophone record has already been released. The song was altered in the film as Podhum Saridhaan Mister and was sung by P. B. Srinivas and Jikki.[3]
ReceptionAccording to Randor Guy, the film did not do well "as the story line was familiar", but he noted that the film would be remembered for "The brilliant performances by Padmini and Sivaji Ganesan, its interesting screenplay, the dialogue of Sridhar and the deft direction of the experienced filmmaker, R.S. Mani".[2] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://nadigarthilagam.com/filmographyp7.htm|title=Punar Jenmam|accessdate=22 August 2014|publisher=nadigarthilagam.com}} 2. ^1 2 {{Cite news |url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/cinema-columns/blast-from-the-past-punarjanmam-1961/article7593926.ece |title=Punarjanmam (1961) |last=Guy |first=Randor |date=29 August 2015 |work=The Hindu |access-date=3 February 2017 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20170203063117/http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/cinema-columns/blast-from-the-past-punarjanmam-1961/article7593926.ece |archive-date=3 February 2017 |author-link=Randor Guy |deadurl=yes |df=dmy-all }} 3. ^{{Cite book |title=Thiraikalanjiyam — Part 2 |last=Neelamegam |first=G. |publisher=Manivasagar Publishers |edition=1st |location=Chennai |publication-date=November 2016 |pages=39-40 |language=Tamil}} 6 : 1961 films|Indian films|1960s Tamil-language films|Films about alcoholism|Screenplays by C.
