contempt. C.Rajagopalachari’s view of the cinema as the source of moral corruption was pre-dominant in their minds. However, Dravidar Munnetra Kalazhagam (DMK) took film seriously as a vehicle for political mobilization. The interview Hardgrave had with the great lyric writer Kaviyarasu Kannadasan came to light that congressmen never realized the power of film. Kannadasan opined that they decried the Cinema and we used it. DMK introduced symbols and references and the party rode to rising popularity of cinemaand film artists like MGR brought great popularity to the DMK lead by Anna. As a young lieutenant of DMK Peraringer C.N.Annadurai (most reverentially called Anna) had written number of dramas as vehicles for social reform and non-brahmin self-respect ideology. From dramas Anna entered the film industry. Anna wrote six screen plays including the famous “Velaikkari (servant maid)” as he believed that through screen play he can educate the people of Tamil Nadu. But it was Kalaiger Karunanidhi’s (Kalainger) Parasakthi that stunned the Tamil audience and it had become the “Paradise Lost” for Tamil people in terms of lively and scintillating dialogues in chaste Tamil that people had begun to admire with awe and majesty (4). Hard Grave further states that Film artists brought glamour and electoral support to the DMK, and actors graced the platforms of party rallies. Some stars, like M.G.Ramachandran, converted their popularity on the screen in to successful bids for seats in the Legislative Assembly. The entry of the Dravidian Movement into the film industry brought a new era in the Tamil screen. In the years before 1949-1950, film dialogue had been awkward. Anna and Kalainger brought particular prominence to the spoken word, and in the early DMK films, dialogue was of a highly literary, almost like formal speeches. These speeches, whether from the platform or the cinema screen, come as "rain of words" (sorpozhivu) and have popularized a highly ornate form of spoken Tamil (5).

In this study the following hypotheses were formulated and as per practice the hypotheses are to be accepted or rejected.
