Keechaka Vadham (The Extermination of Keechaka) is an Indian silent film produced, directed, filmed and edited by R. Nataraja Mudaliar, and released in the late 1910s. No print of it is known to survive. The first Tamil film and the first film to be made in South India, it was shot in five weeks at Mudaliar's production house, India Film Company. The screenplay by C. Rangavadivelu is based on an episode from the Virata Parva segment of the Hindu epic Mahabharata, focusing on Keechaka's attempts to woo Draupadi. The film stars Raju Mudaliar and Jeevarathnam as the central characters. Keechaka Vadham was commercially successful and received positive critical feedback. The film's success prompted the director to make a series of similar historical films that laid the foundation for the South Indian cinema industry. His works were an inspiration to other filmmakers, including Raghupathi Surya Prakasa and J. C. Daniel. (Full article...)
Pinging Ssven2; now we're doing blurbs for all articles promoted at FAC in 2018. Thoughts and edits are welcome. - Dank (push to talk) 12:21, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- As co-nominator, I feel the last sentence can be done away with. This is because it talks about Mudaliar, not necessarily the film itself. --Kailash29792 (talk) 13:07, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
Apologies, Kailash, I always ping the co-noms ... I missed that this one had a co-nom. We're at 955 characters right now (including "Full article..."), and we need to keep it in the 925–1025 range. If we take out the last sentence, what would you like to add? - Dank (push to talk) 18:51, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- Nothing, I guess it's already good. --Kailash29792 (talk) 07:59, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
- That works for me. (Now 945 characters btw.) - Dank (push to talk) 11:13, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
