{{lang|ta|Neelamalai Thirudan}} (English: Thief of the Blue Mountain) is 1957 Tamil Action film directed by M. A. Thirumugam and produced by Sandow M. M. A. Chinnappa Thevar under his production company Devar Films. The film script was written by S. Ayyaiah Pillai. Soundtrack was composed by K. V. Mahadevan. The film stars Ranjan Anjali Devi P. S. Veerappa and K. A. Thangavelu playing lead role, with E. V. Saroja M. K. Radha E. R. Sahadevan T. S. Balaiah and P. Kannamba in supporting roles.[1][2] Ranjan's performance of a "Robin Hood"-like character was praised.

Plot

A good-hearted brother (E. R. Sahadevan) has a kind sister Lakshmi (P. Kannamba) and a villainous brother Nagappan (P. S. Veerappa), who has his eyes on the family wealth. The kind brother has a son (Ranjan) and the sister has a daughter Maragatham (Anjali Devi). Aware of the evil brother Nagappan plans, the good brother leaves home and entrusts his son to the care of his sister and her husband Thangappan (M. K. Radha). Getting to know about his exit, the villain goes to search of him and his family and orders his henchman Nanjappan (Sandow M. M. A. Chinnappa Thevar) to kill them. The family is separated. The boy, now grown up, takes up the cudgels against the evil uncle. Like Robin-Hood, he helps the downtrodden. How he exposes the villain and restores peace forms the rest of the plot. Finally, the whole family is united.[1]

Film

The two animal characters in the movie Iqbal (The horse) and Tiger (The dog) perform in quite a few sequences. In the famous scene, Rajan, who always rides the horse, is caught alone by his enemies in the woods. The dog follows him, notices his problem and rushes to the horse. The dog gets onto the horse and both ride away fast and rescue their master. The sequence never failed to raise cheers from the audience in those days.[1]

Production

Chinnappa Thevar wanted to make a film with M. G. Ramachandran and planned the screenplay and song situations accordingly. Much to his surprise, MGR did not give him dates for shooting as he was busy with several productions, including his home production Nadodi Mannan. Touched to the quick, Thevar brought Ranjan on board which upset MGR some more! During the making of B. N. Rao's Saalivaahanan, in which Ranjan played the hero and MGR played villain, there was some misunderstanding between the two, especially while filming the stunt sequence.

After Neelamalai Thirudan, MGR and Thevar forgot their differences and came together to make several hits such as Thaai Sollai Thattadhe and Thayai Katha Thanayan. The two had known each other from their early days in Coimbatore at Central Studios. MGR was on the studio rolls and employee and Thevar was supplying milk to the studio canteen and played more than one role in their movies, often without credit.[1]
