Sivandha Mann (1969)
Plot
Sivandha Mann (transl. Red Soil) is a 1969 Indian Tamil-language romantic action film written, produced and directed by C. V. Sridhar. The film stars Sivaji Ganesan and Kanchana, with S. V. Ranga Rao, M. N. Nambiar, Muthuraman, Nagesh and Sachu in supporting roles. It revolves around an Inspector General's son (Ganesan) and a princess (Kanchana) who rebel against the tyrannical ruler (Nambiar) of their region. Sridhar initially began work on a film titled Andru Sinthiya Ratham (transl. The blood that was spilt then) with M. G. Ramachandran starring. Though many scenes were shot, the film was ultimately shelved when Ramachandran backed out. Sridhar later revived the project as Sivandha Mann with script changes, and Ganesan starring. It was the first Tamil film to be shot extensively in locations outside India; shooting locations included Switzerland, France and the Alps. Sivandha Mann was released on 9 November 1969, Diwali day, and became a major commercial success, running for over 100 days in theatres. The film's success inspired many later Tamil and Telugu films to shoot in France. It was later remade by Sridhar in Hindi as Dharti (1970).
