it was remake of tamil movie sigappu rojakkal meaning red roses which had kamal haasan and sridevi in the lead made by the same director bharathi raja and the same cinematographer p. s. nivas .

the original tamil movie was reported to be loosely inspired by raman raghav 's grisly crimes and was dubbed in telugu as erra gulabilu and was also remade in japanese as red roses and in russian as krasnyye rozy .

she has no indian baggage / background so her way of looking at a film can be quite different from a typically indian angle . this applies not just for red rose but for any film reviewed by her .
so friends , watch red rose at your own peril . it is not for the weak - hearted and the easily - offended .
the only thing mildly good about red rose is 2 rd burman songs which are again not his greatest but just because the film is at some other level , the songs stand out .
red rose had a nice song : kiski sadayen…did you like it ? personally i did not like red rose… . i liked the build up and everything , but yes , the naivete of poonam dhillon and hamming of rajesh khanna does get on my nerves and i hated how flatly the movie ended .
of my father’s films , i can’t see anand now . so i’ll say aradhana , and for some strange reason , i love red rose . ”
as a teenager i watched aradhana - kati patang and red rose at roughly the same time . that last film was funny in an incredibly odd way and i would have my own renditions of rk’s mannerisms .
red rose is a prime example of the man hacking his way through a truly awful performance . only , neither the movie nor the music did enough to redeem him , unlike a dozen other instances .
finally is red rose about ossified misogyny ? no i am not just talking about anand ( rajesh khanna’s ) ceaseless sexual harassment of his subordinates and of saleswomen , which somehow the women find dreadfully arousing .
his home decor is dominated by the color red , and as he leaves for work every morning the creepy gardener fixes a red rose to his lapel at the gate . this morning his routine is a little different , since it’s his birthday—and every year on his birthday he visits the legendary central jail .
wise crack is the cherry red imprint dedicated to reissuing the great comedy records of the 20th century .

red rose – 1980 super star rajesh khanna taken on the role of a serial killer in the unsettling and original red rose . we learn that rajesh khanna’s character was beaten by his mother as a child and then went through a number of unsavoury relationships with women leaving him disturbed and unhinged . in a much more radical move than the shahrukhs and sunjay dutts of today , khanna broke with his lover boy screen image and portrayed the disturbed woman hater who lured young women to his house , murdered them and buried them in his garden . director baharatirajaa tackled this unsavoury topic in a surprisingly direct manner but his slasher film was seen as anti women and triggered protests by feminists in bombay and delhi .
in 1980 , red rose also has among its cast rajesh khanna , iruna arani and very likely that same psychotic black cat . in phir wahi raat this cat had revenge on its fur ball brain and went for the jugular , but the last we saw of the cat , it was being swung around by its tail being readied for space travel . so it is with relief that it shows up again in this film as crazy as ever and still going for the throat and with a taste for blood . red rose is an odd grimy subversive film that breaks many of the then conventions of bollywood – unfaithful wives , unfilial daughters , wanton middle class women willing to have sex for advancement or money , a disdain for religion and a main protagonist who is a serial killer .
tune in is the cherry red label devoted to the u . s . psychedelic scene of the late 1960s .
a film review , esp on one’s own blog , is essentially the personal view of the reviewer . a film like red rose , which is different from the usual fluffy indian movie , was always going to give much scope for intense discussion . fine and most welcome – as long as this discussion is done with an open stance and not with a “i am right , you are wrong” stand .
a film than shows what an excellent actor rk was . the film is disturbing and it is meant to be so . not for the faint hearted but what a film . may be it will be appreciated in its right perspective today .
is red rose about the undergarment cotton industry in general ? in an age when bras were not “lingerie” but un - glamorous white receptacles with seams as prominent as a kokkaburra balls , red rose glamorizes them in a way that makes one suspect surrogate advertising . and it’s not just bras . it’s also baniyans and rumaals . much of the movie’s action is set in a garments shop called roopsagar clothing store where rajesh khanna randomly ambles in and starts asking for random things from random saleswomen .
i have seen both versions . personally i preferred the original . i felt it had more credibility than red rose . but then maybe another reason i did not like red rose is that i stopped liking rajesh movies after the mid - 70s . i used to avoid his movies after 1975 . even when i saw the odd movie made thereafter , i usually winced at the sight of him . i prefer memories of the rajesh of roti and kati patang . but that is just me .
it is a ridiculous write up by memsab ; it is the first time i have gone through such a negative view point about red rose and kaka . however , in the end she admits the guts of kaka for taking such a challenging role .

red rose is a hindi language horror / thriller ( a remake of the same director ' s own 1978 film sigappu rojakkal ) that is heavily informed by italian giallo cinema of the 60s and 70s . the grafting of hyper - dramatic bollywood sensibilities and garish italian style works so well it ' s surprising that there aren ' t more films and filmmakers…
antonioni’s mid - career masterpiece – his first film in colour – tells the story of giuliana ( monica vitti ) , a young woman suffering a mental and emotional crisis and embarking tentatively on an affair . red desert is a stunning film from the great italian auteur , a deserving winner of the golden lion at the 1965 venice film festival and a high point of post - war european cinema .
red rose is a ‘milestone’ movie in rajesh khanna’s career just like how gunda is to mithunda…also a career deining movie for master mayur , who finally ‘came of ages’ after this movie and stopped doing child roles as this movie made him a ‘man’… . . satyen kappu and om shivpuri are the most underrated ham - actors of our times… . . whattay film ! !

super hit movie red rose ( 1980 ) synopsis : anand lives a wealthy lifestyle in bombay in a palatial house , and runs a business ' export india ' . while shopping at roopsagar clothing store , he meets one of the sales clerks ' , sharda , and falls in love with her . shortly thereafter he proposes to her , she accepts , and both marry at the registrar of marriages but she find ' s her life turning upside down when she discovers a deadly secret from anand ' s past .
the resulting track is a little unnerving , red rose’s conspiratorial , reverb - heavy vocal threatened by a slithering bassline that diffuses dread into the spacious production . it’s also , somehow , inescapably pop , filtering its alien sonics into something hauntingly anthemic . that factor secured
tempo
an illustrious afterlife : after helping midwife ragga in jamaica , it became something like a standard for uk junglists , with mcs and djs adopting red rose’s vocal as a de facto motif of the genre . but tubby’s original , all impending doom and spaced minimalism , still feels like the one . —jazz monroe
by 1985 , the immersive dub productions that king tubby had perfected on reggae b - sides smacked of overfamiliarity , and jamaican sound systems pulsed with digital , a more rigid dub offshoot based on preset casio keyboard rhythms . legend has it that tubby , upstaged by king jammy’s work on digital smash
under me sleng teng
, swiftly sidelined his firehouse label , built the all - digital waterhouse studio , and enlisted kingston singjay anthony red rose , all in a bid to outdo his protegé . ( red rose claims , somewhat improbably , that
tempo

this film was quite disturbing to watch . you can ' t quite work out what rajesh khanna ' s character is in the film however he seems eerie no doubt . this film had heavy sexual undertones throughout . it ' s not until the end of the film we find out why khanna has such a hatred for women in the film . this film is an early 1980s suspense thriller and it ' s quite successful as the theme and style of film is very original and different to other hindi films of the time . although in some parts illogical and irrelevant the film shows flashbacks of sexual imagery to portray rajesh khannas psychotic intentions . i was surprised to see an artist like khanna ( once the romantic superstar of the late 60 ' s ) take this role on . i wouldn ' t recommend this film for watching with your parents ! nor will i be watching this film again . i found the concept and certain imagery used quite disturbing and perverse at times .

rajesh khanna played a psychopath in this murder mystery and thriller classic film . due to its unorthodox story - line and since it was made in 1980 , it was very ahead of its time for hindi film audiences . the film bombed at the box office but got critical acclaims for the story - line and khanna ' s strong attention holding performance . lot of political parties back in 1980 protested that the film be banned but amid protests the film was released but audience did not flock to theatres . rajesh khanna has done films of all genres and people used to go with their families to go to theater to watch his films . but for this film people feared to go out with family and this affected its box office collections . people did not want to see their hero doing wrong things . its a must match for people who are fan of films from thriller or adventure or mystery genre . a must watch for both rajesh khanna fans and his detractors . kamal hassan won many awards for the same role in tamil , but khanna was not even nominated in any award function for best actor , in - spite of khanna having given splendid performance .
one of the main theses of red rose is that women today desire too much independence and bad things will happen to them as a result . as a matter of fact , a character says exactly that , namely that women have too much independence and the rajesh khanna character says that the fault is not theirs but society’s .

mark kermode says : “today , the film may seem almost quaint , but it’s as captivating as ever . ”
while the smell which permeates her apartment is enough to convince rose that her building houses mater tenebrarum , the mother of darkness , rose questions the antique dealer , mr kazanian ( sacha piteoff ) , who sold her the book . like any enigmatic dream - figure , the shadowy kazanian tells rose not only that the
bittersweet
smell she complains of is coming from
the cake factory
( ! ) but also that she will
get used to it .
before dismissing rose from his shop , kazanian cryptically adds ,
the only true mystery is that our lives are governed by dead people .
leaving the shop , rose hesitates before an iron grate in an alleyway and , recalling the words of varelli that the second key is
hidden in the cellar ,
descends the moonlit stairs in high gothic style in search of the mother ' s abode .
i liked it more than red rose for reasons already mentioned . and i think it became a huge hit partly because of the relative novelty factor in indian cinema at that time . in the midst of routine romantic stories this was something “hatke ( different ) ” . and kamal hasan and sridevi were both “hot” in tamil cinema at that time .
what will happen next ? will the waiter be able to identify anand ? will sharda find out what her husband has been up to ? what has he been up to ? and why ? well , you’ll have to watch red rose to find out ( and also to see an amazing twitchy - face scene on the part of the superstar ) .

i didnt like this movie one bit . dint rajesh khanna wear a silly look on his face in the last scene ? however , we had seen the movie in a group and were able to laugh at the silly scenes . for weeks my cousin would keep recommending the movie to others as a joke – go see red rose – its a classic !
james franco and travis mathews recreate explicit footage cut , and rumoured to be lost , from one of the most notorious features ever made – cruising ( 1980 ) , starring al pacino as a cop who goes undercover to hunt out a serial killer preying on new york’s homosexual s & m community . inspired by the mythology of this controversial film , the directors explore the limits of sexual and creative freedom .
the film opens with stylish music by rd burman ( which reminded me of all those 1970’s cop show themes ) , accompanying scenes of digging at night . these are interspersed with rajesh khanna in giant aviator glasses trawling discos , punctuated by screams of “no ! ” as white roses decay into red ones .
and yes , this film started off well , but just didn’t sustain the suspense—and by the end became comical , unfortunately .

ve gmemsaab i agree with abhijit there is flaw in your review . was it intentionally reviewed . i am also fan of kamal hasan and i have seen this movie in hindi and tamil . but it compared red rose movie was best in hindi . and more thing i want to bring to you that rajesh khanna’s performance was better than kamal hasan and this movie was successfuly movie and well appriciated .
kaka is a legend and red eose proves . he was remarkably good in thefilm . he performed his job very well . the truth is that he is not our first , but only superstar .
it wanted to be a psychological thriller , but in its execution became a slasher film . the explanation of the psychology behind the killer’s motivation is pretty lame and in all other respects , by the end it resembled a friday the 13th or halloween type of film .
all in all an epic film . . a film which needs to be passed on from one generation to other…also this is one movie which is crying for a remake with new interpretations for this generation starring maybe srk as only he can justify the psychotic killer role …
• “cactus and a rose” ( 1980 ) moved away from familiar nashville studio surroundings and into the southern country - rock arena that first inspired him . gregg allman and dickey betts were among the musicians and , with chips moman as producer , these ten tracks added up to a programme unique to stewart . it also provided another two chart singles – the title track and the double - sided ‘are we dreamin’ the same dream’ and ‘roarin’’ , the latter living up to its title as bonnie bramlett joins in the raucous barrelhouse fun .
set this hybrid construction to selections from verdi ' s 1842 opera nabucco and discordant music from keith emerson of emerson , lake , and palmer ; illuminate the highly stylised sets in surreal blues and reds and have the characters speak cryptically . the result is the profoundly haunting and disturbing dream - logic of dario argento ' s inferno ( 1980 ) , a film which appears to be self - consciously masquerading as a giallo - style , gothic opera—albeit without singers .
described by martin scorsese as “the movie that plays in my heart” , and a direct influence on kate bush , who was attracted by its portrayal of crazed passion , michael powell and emeric pressburger’s film is a moving masterpiece . moira shearer stars as a ballerina torn between her love for her husband and the strenuous demands of her art . the extraordinary 15 - minute performance of the red shoes ballet at the film’s climax is one of the most famous sequences in british cinema .
then there are films such as ittefaq ( 1969 ) , khilona ( 1970 ) , anhonee ( 1973 ) , red rose ( 1980 ) , dilwale ( 1994 ) and tere naam ( 2003 ) , in which the mentally ill protagonists are anti - heroes . in ittefaq , the main character is declared insane by a court after he violently assaults his wife . in khilona , the lead character molests his caregiver in a manic fit . in both dilwale and tere naam , the protagonists physically threaten and intimidate the objects of their desire . even when there are cack - handed attempts at providing a sympathetic view of the actual diseases—as in shabd ( 2005 ) and karthik calling karthik ( 2010 ) —the characters’ behaviour is always injurious and abusive .
, ends up in the hands of rose elliot ( irene miracle ) , a poet living in new york who becomes obsessed with the suspicion that her apartment building is the dwelling place of some mysterious supernatural force .
the debate is on multiple levels . the content , interpretation of the content , the film - making and the acting ( esp rk ) .
before her death , sara phones mark asking him to come to her apartment . however , he arrives at the scene of a double murder where he finds torn fragments of rose ' s letter on the floor . in pursuit of the mystery , mark is soon on his way to new york and arrives at the apartment building where rose lives , only to find that she has disappeared . here inferno slips still further into dream - logic , never to return . rose ' s building is labyrinthine—the epitome of the oneiric house : multiple stairways , baroque rooms , cluttered passages , heavy , theatrical curtains , false floors and vents which serve as listening conduits running throughout the structure .
in this most dream - like of all scenes , rose swims unhurriedly downwards towards the floor where her keys lie on the carpet . by the time rose ' s hands slowly reach out for her keys , the viewer is as deeply submerged in inferno ' s dream - logic as is rose elliot in the flooded ballroom . in inferno , argento seems to be saying that the filmic state , like a rebus , is oneirically complex . to search for the key in argento ' s films is to do dreamwork . this realisation comes upon us with a vengeance when , suddenly , a door in the flooded room bursts open in a current that sends out a badly decomposed corpse which , in floating upwards , seems to pursue rose in her desperate attempt to find the hole through which she entered the room . as rose swims frantically in search of the opening , her feet kick in revulsion at the head of the rising corpse . in his study , the philosophy of horror , noël carroll points out that in the aesthetics of gothic horror the key element is disgust , and this sequence is classic abjection material .

kashyap ' s upcoming film won ' t be the first on this subject . tamil director bharathiraja ' s film sigappu rojakkal ( 1978 ) , starring kamal haasan and sridevi , was loosely inspired by raman ' s grisly crimes . meanwhile , director sriram raghavan ( ek hasina thi , johnny gaddar , badlapur ) had also made a 45 - minute docu - drama on raghav shortly after graduating from his alma mater , film and television institute of india , pune .

ruggero deodato is explaining how to eat a human being . not that he ' s done it , or has he met anyone who has – but when it comes to cannibalism , the 72 - year - old director is still something of an authority . in 1980 , deodato released what is still regarded in many quarters as the most controversial film ever made :
the film red rose contains nothing except to an extraordinary characterization of a completely negative mentally disturbed character . to characterize this character , rajesh khanna has been able to show his infinite range of acting calibre owing to the particular reason that he characterized this totally negative tone character without any help of make - up or light effect and any kind of artificial technique , except to his classic facial expression . and this makes him an unparalleled classic actor of indian cinema , who can not be compared with any body . being the first super star of the nation with historic world famous romantic image , it is an unique example for the indian film world that up - to what extent any actor can reach with sheer dedication to be able to break shackle of his own image . the last scene of this film where the character played by mr . khanna became abnormal mentally and was behind the bar , was an landmark example of facial expression for any actor .
not true , the boston strangler was based on a true life serial killer . both movies had serial killers as protagonist but that is where the similarity ends . red rosé i’d in the same genre but not a copy at all !

“honestly it is the most tongue in cheek and irreverent take off on conventional films and baddies and a towering performance . filmfare should give an award to kaka in retrospect for redrose . it is a performance that no other hero ever in bollywood will have the guts to repeat . a true classic of a great actor enjoying himself . most people think that aavishkaar was kaka’s offbeat role . no no , red rose wins hands down… . of course , followed by naukri ! ! ! ! ”

ha , ha . i was clever and never watched that film . rajesh khanna’s twitchy face is truly horrifying , though . wonder how you did escape having nightmares .
i truly believe that any film maker has the choice , even in the most light - hearted film , not to go beyond certain limits , and perhaps choose to help to undermine outdated attitudes , rather than reinforcing prejudices and status quo 99 % of the time . maybe over time they would help to wear certain things down .
argento ' s colour schemes and imagery are bizarre . in inferno , colour—morphing blues and reds—is a language . objects are surreal . a pipe without any ostensible purpose hangs suspended from the ceiling while a long , red wire protrudes from one end . other pipes rise from floor to ceiling juxtaposed with doric - style columns which , placed haphazardly , give the impression that one is backstage in an abandoned theatre . the camera follows a stream of water as it flows into a red and blue rivulet from a broken drainage pipe into a hole in the concrete floor of the cellar , which turns out to be the ceiling of a flooded room . when her keys fall into the hole , rose casually removes her shoes , climbs into the overly blue water , and swims in search of them , but not before she is momentarily framed by the crazily - angled pipes , columns and posts that surround the hole . in one of the film ' s most eerie scenes ( filmed by lorenzo battaglia ) , rose swims languidly underwater in what we dimly perceive in the gloom is a flooded ballroom in which still hangs a poster bearing the name and image of
mater tenebrarum .

i’m sorry you find it ridiculous abhijit , but i doubt somehow that i am the first to find this an unsuccessful film and performance ! but to each his / her own .
it astounds me that a total of 22 people with dubious taste have given this film 9 . 4 stars on an average . assuming that these are not simply the film ' s crew , i suppose that must have been the total viewership from its creation in 1980 to date . it certainly does not deserve more . rajesh khanna by this time must have been seeing the end of his tunnel . amitabh bacchhan had already taken over the reins of stardom from khanna and co . , so the offers pipeline must have been thin . and it shows . this is old india ' s attempt at a spooky thriller , but it ' s simply spooky , for all the wrong reasons . utterly forgettable fare ( if anyone does ever come to read this ) and better left to its own mire .
after her horrifying experience , rose attempts to contact her brother mark ( leigh mccloskey ) , a student of music studying in rome . we first come upon mark in a large lecture hall where he and his fellow student and friend , sara ( eleonora giorgi ) , are listening to selections from verdi on headphones . while attempting to read rose ' s letter , mark seems drowsy . he rubs his eyes and when he looks up , it is as if he is having a lucid dream when he becomes entranced by a strange woman who gazes back at him .

mark kermode says : “with its evocative electronic music and its startling off - kilter vistas , there is a hint of science fiction about red desert , where vitti becomes the woman who fell to earth… yes , this is a world of pollution and poison , both physical and emotional . but it is also a world of fable and fantasy , of imagination and hallucination – worldly and otherworldly . or to put it another way , it is a film by antonioni . ”

a few days later , sheela disappears as well after being called to a public park to meet a man dressed in white with a red rose in his lapel . at the same time anand escalates his weird “courtship” of sharda , and discovers how very innocent and pure she is . despite his blandishments she won’t sleep with him before marriage , and she likes to pray ! she falls in love with him ( although i really just don’t understand why—he is seriously weird ) and we are treated to several requisite “we have the technology” montages to illustrate their blossoming ( pun half - heartedly intended ) romance .
reconnecting german cinema with its weimer forebears via murnau’s iconic nosferatu , herzog’s vampire film references its 1922 predecessor but has a distinctive temperament . nosferatu , played by the stunning klaus kinski , is modelled on the monster of the earlier film , yet his obsession with isabelle adjani’s character of lucy harker reveals a certain pathos , even as his army of rats brings plague and delirium to a prosperous small town .
artist clio barnard’s moving film about the late bradford playwright andrea dunbar ( rita , sue and bob too ) is no ordinary documentary . mixing interviews with dunbar’s family and friends ( seen lip - synched by actors ) , scenes from her plays performed on the estate where she lived , and tv footage of her in the 1980s , the film makes intriguing , inventive play with fact , fiction and reminiscence .
mark kermode : “for all the film’s shortcomings , sadsy brings a dash of argento - esque style to the increasing splatter , ensuring that the hands of the ripper continue to grip audiences even today . ”

whatever the intention , green day ' s set list reaffirmed why the band pretty much stands alone in america . this is a band with roots in the radical berkeley underground — the site of some of the most volatile alt - right and antifa clashes in america — but also one with the ability to fill the rose bowl .
nelson plays a horse - riding , pistol - twirling , double - braid - rocking outlaw in this overlooked western from 1982 . gary busey , still fresh from his academy award - nominated turn in the buddy holly story , is his bumbling sidekick , and writer william d . wittliff — who also worked with nelson on honeysuckle rose and red headed stranger — handles the script . barbarosa didn & apos ; t exactly shoot & apos ; em up at the box office , but the movie currently boasts a 100 percent score on rotten tomatoes — proof that it & apos ; s aged rather well , much like ol & apos ; willie himself .
is red rose about religion ? rajesh khanna repeatedly mocks the virginal poonam dhillons idols and temples , which shows that he may be even worse than a serial killer . he may be an atheist . ( i am guessing this is the kamal hassan influence ) . the profusion of apples in different sequences , for example rajesh khanna gives prisoners apples as gifts and apples lie next to his bed , hint at original sin , and the skeleton that is found in his room of horrors , might ( and i didn’t look that quickly ) be missing a rib , further strengthening the metaphor of adam and eve ( eve being produced from a rib of adam ) .

mark kermode says : “when the film first came before the bbfc in 1976 it was banned outright , with one examiner noting that , ‘this sort of depiction of sexual pathology goes way beyond what we can certificate for showing in a public cinema…’ yet that same examining conceded that ‘the film is very well made , with good acting performances from two of france’s leading stars…’ but concluded ‘…opulent excrescence , for all its glitter , remains excrescence . ’”

the original “sigappu rojakkal” made in 1978 ( possibly inspired by a hollywood film ) was a psychological thriller and super - duper hit in tamil . considering that until then most movies in india in this genre had been laughably pathetic , this tamil film stood out and received rave reviews from critics . ( i just want to mention here that one should not compare with hollywood . india was miles behind at that time in this genre for sure ) .
while inferno has often been criticized for terrible acting , dialogue and an incoherent plot , this compelling film—which argento calls his
purest and most sincere
—seems less concerned with traditional narrative trajectories than it does with the art of horror film - making . recalling the russian formalists ' emphasis on form over content ,
device
over message and strangeness over familiarity , inferno involves the viewer in its
mind - boggling artificiality
[ 1 ] to dramatise the aesthetic and experiential links between film - making and viewing which christian metz , in psychoanalysis and cinema , likens to dreaming—a motif that inferno takes up with a vengeance by turning that dream into nightmare . [ 2 ]

is red rose about brassieres ? in one of the film’s opening sequences , a servant - boy goes into rajesh khanna’s bedroom . the first thing he sees is a black pussy ( cat ) and a discarded brassiere , lying on rajesh khanna’s bed . rajesh khanna ( anand ) is there too with covers drawn over his bare - torso enough to reveal an abundance of lush black chest vegetation . the viewer immediately wonders whose bra it is , given that there is no woman on the bed . is the bra then the pussy - cat’s which might imply that rajesh khanna had a night of passionate loving with minerva macgonagall , whose animagus all harry potter fans will recall is a pussy cat ? before your mind can solve the origin of the bra , the camera focuses on it again , as well as the servant boy’s aroused eyes , leaving you in no doubt as to that bra being a rather significant element of the sequence .

karthik has regally arrived at the wedding hall , ostensibly to get married to vyshnavi when he is consumed by second thoughts . and no , it isn ' t another woman . with the gita ( the holy book of the hindus ) tucked under his arm , a walking stick and an umbrella he makes an amusing show of going away to kasi ( a holy place in north india ) to become an ascetic , far away from the impending life as a householder . vyshnavi ' s father intercepts and convinces him ( read : puts some sens into his head ) to stay back and marry his daughter . a very pliant karthik agrees and returns to the mandapam ( mun - duh - pum ) .

all marriages in india involve a lot of rituals as a marriage is more than the coming together of two individuals . it signifies the unification of the couple , parents , families , well - wishers and above all the gods . thus a typical hindu wedding involves vedic rituals as well as social practices . most of the mantras for the wedding ceremony are from the tenth mandala of the rig veda , which describes the marriage of sūrya , the daughter of the sun god , with soma .
before discussing the rituals on the day of wedding , let us see the events that take place before the wedding . the first ritual in the process of marriage is celebration of the nischayartham ( settling the marriage ) . this is a legal contract ( with a brief religious ceremony ) between the families of the groom and the bride . for arun and ajeeta , this was performed in chennai on 23rd august 2009 .
on the day prior to the wedding , two important rituals take place – one is social and the other religious . the social event is janavasam or barat in which the bridegroom is brought in a procession from a temple . in south india , he comes in a flower - decked car and on a horse’s back in north india . by such a procession , the approval of he public is sought by the bride’s family from their co - villagers . after reaching the venue of the wedding nischayartham is performed .
fire which is one of the five elements ( pancha bhootha ) plays a major part in all south indian weddings . all the ceremonies described here take place in front of the homam which burns throughout the muhurtham .
rice is also an important part of the whole ceremony as the bride and groom are periodically showered with ' akshadai ' which is rice mixed with turmeric powder .
dharbai ( or dried kora grass ) is considered holy and is extensively used in all religious ceremonies including marriages . the groom ' s dhoti is dipped in turmeric water and dried earlier and hence is yellow . the bride , wears nine - yard saris in the traditional form known as ' madisaar ' .
the marriage ceremonies begin separately for the bride and the groom . the bride ' s father performs jathakarna & namakarna to the bride . kaappu ( thread soaked in turmeric solution ) is tied on the hands of both the bride and the groom , to ward off all evil sprits and groom ' s prospective mother - in - law applies ' mai ' ( kaajal or eye - shade ) to the groom .
nine kinds of presoaked cereals are ceremoniously sown in earthern pots . water is poured into these bowls . the seeds sprout and are immersed in a river or lake later . this ceremony is done to invokes the blessings of the eight guardian angels ( ashtadikh paalaks ) for a healthy life and progeny to the couple .
for the groom vratham begins with invocations involving the gods indra , soma , chandra and agni . from thereon the groom prepares himself for a new chapter in his life as a householder or grihasta . the days of his bachelorhood or brahmacharya are over now . the acceptance of this is all what the vratham is about .
the groom enters the wedding hall where the bride joins him . the two garland each other thrice ( assisted by their respective uncles ) . a special tune for the occasion is played on the nadaswaram . in the shastras , the exchange of garlands symbolizes their unification , as one soul in two bodies .
the bride and groom are made to sit on a swing and are treated like radha and krishna while the bridesmaids and the female relatives sing beautiful love songs around them . they are given a sweet concoction of milk , sugar and bananas to eat . water and lighted lamps are circulated around the swing in order to guard against demons and ghosts . while sitting on the oonjal their feet are washed with milk and they are protected from the evil eye by circling a handful of coloured rice around their head and then throwing them away in all the four directions
kanniga dhaanam literally means gifting the bride . before kanniga dhaanam a few other dhaanams are also made . kanniga dhaanam is made by getting the bride seated on the lap of the father who gives away the daughter to the groom . on the bride’s head , a ring made of darbha of kusa grass is placed . and over it is placed a yoke . the tirumangalyam or thali is placed on the aperture of the yoke . and water is poured through the aperture . the mantras chanted at this time say :
“let this gold multiply your wealth , let this water purify your married life , and may your prosperity increase . offer yourself to your husband . this ritual means that just as a two bulls have to work in harmony , the success of the marriage needs both the wife and husband .
the bride is then given an auspicious ablution . a new sari , exclusive for the occasion , called the koorai is chosen . the colour of the koorai is ‘arraku’ i . e . red , the colour associated with mahalakshmi . a belt made of reed grass is then tied around the bride’s waist .
thanksgiving vedic hymns follow , to the celestial caretakers of her childhood , the dieties of soma , gandharva and agni . the girl is now free to be given over to the care of the human - - her man .
“i offer ye my daughter : a maiden virtuous , good natured , very wise , decked with ornaments to the best of my abilities . with all that she shall guard thy dharma , wealth and love”
the bridegroom returns his assurance to the bride’s father saying three times that he shall remain forever her companion in joy and sorrow , in this life and the life after .
the tying of the mangal sutra or thali takes place at exactly the pre - determined auspicious hour . the bride is seated over a sheaf of grain - laden hay looking eastward while the bridegroom faces westward . thirumangalyam ( also known as thali in tamil and mangalsutra in hindi ) is blessed by the acharya , the priests , elders and the assembled guests . it is tied to a yellow ( turmeric powder - coated ) thread , which is tied around the neck of the bride by the groom to signify that the bride becomes his wife . thirumangalyam is tied with three knots . the first two knots are tied by the bridegroom and the third knot is tied by his sister . as he does so the nadaswaram is played loud and fast so as to muffle any inauspicious sounds at the critical hour . ladies . the vedic hymn recited by the bridegroom when he ties the knot is :
i tie this knot around your neck . oh soubhagyawati , may providence bestow on you a fulfilling life of a sumangali for a hundred years to come !
next is ‘paanigrahanam’ when the groom and the bride hold their hands in public . by holding the hands in public , they indicate to the world that their hearts are set to live together in harmony .
saptapadhi , which literally means seven steps , consists of circumambulating the homam ( fire ) seven times while reciting mantras ( invocations ) one made by the bride and another made by the groom with each step .
“i . may the lord narayana , who pervades the entire universe , satisfy your physical hunger by feeding you in response to the first step you are taking .
ii . may your second step give you physical strength by the grace of the lord narayana .
iii . may he follow your third step and help you fulfill your good actions .
v . may he bless you with the wealth of cattle by following your fifth step .
vi . may he confer happiness on you during all the six seasons by following your sixth step .
vii . by following the seventh step of yours , may he bless you to perform the soma - sacrifice by the worship of the seven ritwaiks .
after crossing these seven steps together , we are now eternal companions and are totally committed to love , compassion , fidelity , duty and mutual respect . we shall remain as one , and together we shall truthfully perform all our duties sincerely . we shall remain steadfast and faithful to each other and never desert one another . unity in thought and action will be our life ' s mission . now i am the sama veda and you are the rig veda . i am the expansive sky and you are the merciful and bountiful earth . i am the mind and thoughts and you the words and expressions . i salute you , the angel of virtues and serenity . please walk with me and you shall realize all your aspirations , flawless progeny and enormous wealth and health . i welcome you , the goddess of beauty and wisdom with devotion and deep love . let us live in harmony and attain both bliss and peace .
the marriage is sanctified and complete after saptapadhi . the couple offer their prostration to the parents and elders . they then take their seat near the fire and pay their respects to the gods as husband and wife .
since the bride and the groom are to begin their life as householders , there is an introduction of the concept by the ritual of ammi midhitha . the groom places the foot of the girl on the grinding stone and requests her to maintain the reputation of the house and the family . with this it can be said that the bride takes over the kitchen .
there are a number of activities where attempt is made to impart in the couple traditional values . arundati and dhruva partal ( watching the arundati star ) . is one such ritual . during the course of this ritual the groom takes the girl out in the open and shows her the ' arundati ' and dhruva stars on the horizon . arundati was the wife of sage vashista who became immortal as a star due to her devotion to her husband . dhruva is the north star who had attained immortality through single - minded devotion to narayana .
this comprises the bride’s own offering into the sacrificial fire . her brother gives her a handful of puffed rice grains which she hands to the bridegroom , who on her behalf , feeds it to the fire . through this food offering , the bride seeks a long life for her husband and for propagation of her family . participation of the bride’s brother indicates the continuance of links between the two families even after marriage . the couple circles the fire three times . the feeding of puffed rice to the fire is also repeated thrice .
sambhavanai literally means blessings . first of all the blessings are invoked from the ‘acharya’ the guru or the priest . the blessing of the priest is followed by blessings by the maternal uncle and all other relatives and friends .
vilaiyadal ( which literally means playing games ) is the social and entertaining part of a wedding . this also serves to introduce the relatives on both sides to each other . the ladies from the groom ' s side bring trays in which all the items of daily need for the bride ( such as hair oil , comb , cosmetics etc . as well as the traditional wooden doll for playing known as marappaachi ) . these items are known as vilaiyadal seer ( gift for playing ) to the bride . then the ritual of ' thengai urutal ' takes place in which coconuts covered with turmeric are rolled at each other by the bride and the groom . while doing so the women from the both sides of the family sing songs .
grihapravesam is the formal entry of the newly - married bride to her in - laws’ place . in any marriage hall , the bride’s party and the groom’s party stay in different parts of the kalyana mandapam . so the newly - wedded wife enters her husband’s ‘house’ escorted by her parents amidst the chanting of mantras . she is welcomed with aarthi ( tray filled with water with turmeric and the lime which makes the water turn red ) , flowers and sweets by her in - laws .
be the queen of your husband’s home . may your husband glorify your virtues ! conduct yourself in such a way that you win your mother - in - law’s love . and be in the good books of your sister - in - law .
this ritual is done a number of times during the wedding ceremony . it is done to ward off any evil and as a protection .

cover all your wedding planning bases with these expert tips no to - be - wed should be without .
when planning your wedding , there are things that are nice to know , and there are things you need to know—advice so essential any bride who ' s lucky enough to hear it thinks ,
i ' m so glad someone told me that !
if you ' re wondering whether there ' s something you may have missed ( or even if you ' ve got everything under control ) , check out our indispensable planning secrets below .
get a grip on the approximate number of guests you ' ll invite before settling on a venue . this will ensure there ' s ample space for your crew . as a rule of thumb , allow for 25 to 30 square feet per guest . that may seem like a lot , but it ' s really not if you count the space you ' ll need for the tables , bustling waiters , the band and a dance floor .
know ahead of time if your wedding date falls on the same day as a trade conference , charity walk or other local event that could affect traffic and hotel room availability . here ' s a handy list of potentially problematic wedding dates coming up in the calendar .
heed the weather and other potential annoyances . guests have been known to skip out early from hotter - than - hot summer tent weddings and improperly heated winter loft receptions . bugs ( gnats , deer flies and mosquitos ) also swarm in certain areas during certain seasons . consider renting pest control tanks to alleviate the problem or including bug repellent in guests ' gift bags . and if you want a sunset ceremony , make sure you know when to say your vows by checking urltoken . oh—and always , always have a plan b for unexpected weather snafus .
take advantage of the high cost of weddings and sign up for a credit card with a rewards program . whether it gives you airline miles or great shopping deals , consolidating all wedding - related purchases to this card will help you accumulate thousands of rewards points ( which could be used for your honeymoon ) .
let one vendor lead you to another . your wedding photographer can tell you which florist ' s blooms really pop , and your reception manager should know which band consistently packs the dance floor .
the easiest way to trim your wedding budget ? cut your guest list . remember , half of your wedding expenses go to wining and dining your guests . if it ' s costing you $ 100 per person , eliminating one table of 10 can save you $ 1 , 000 .
request an extra hour for cocktails or for your band to throw in that frank sinatra sound - alike before you sign on the dotted line . most vendors would rather secure the reservation than nickel - and - dime you early on ( which might turn you off of them ) . later on , though , they may be less inclined to meet you halfway .
another unforeseen expense ? feeding your wedding day crew . before you sign the contracts , make sure you ' re not required to serve the same meal to your vendors that guests will receive . otherwise , you could be paying for 20 additional lobster tails . choose a less expensive ( but equally hearty ) meal for them instead . you will have to let your wedding caterer know a couple of days before the wedding exactly how many vendors you need to feed ( don ' t forget photography assistants and band roadies ) and what you want them to serve .
in a three - ring binder , compile all your correspondences with vendors , notes you make during meetings , and photos or tear sheets from magazines you want vendors to see . set up a special email address dedicated to your wedding , and store important vendor numbers in your cell phone . for on - the - go planning that keeps everything in one place , download the the knot all - in - one wedding planner app to keep all of your planning info digitally on - hand at all times .
typically , you need one bartender per 50 guests to keep the line at a minimum . but if you ' re serving a signature cocktail that cannot be made ahead of time ( or in large quantities ) , consider adding an extra server designated to this task .
your wedding budget should follow this formula : 48 to 50 percent of total budget to reception ; 8 to 10 percent for flowers ; 8 to 10 percent for attire ; 8 to 10 percent for entertainment / music ; 10 to 12 percent for photo / video ; 2 to 3 percent for invites ; 2 to 3 percent for gifts ; and 8 percent for miscellaneous items like a wedding coordinator . it ' s essential to allocate an extra 5 to 10 percent of your money for surprise expenses like printing extra invites because of mistakes , additional tailoring needs , umbrellas for a rainy day and ribbons for the wedding programs .
your wedding vendors should be your go - to , most - trusted experts during the planning process . when working with them , you should feel free to really explore what it is you want—maybe it ' s serving a late - night snack instead of a first course or doing a bridal portrait session rather than an engagement session . the bottom line is that you should feel like you can have an honest conversation with them about what it is you want . their job will be to tell you what you can and can ' t make work given your wedding budget .
sometimes , last - minute planning can work in your favor . the closer your date , the more bargaining power you have . since most people book their wedding venues at least six months in advance , calling for open dates two months prior to your desired time can save you up to 25 percent . and , friday and sunday weddings should cost about 30 percent less than saturday weddings .
of course you want the perfect stamps for your wedding invitations . but not all stamps are widely available at every post office , especially in large quantities . save yourself scouting time by ordering them online at usps . com . and be sure to weigh your invitation and all the additional paper products before you send them out so you can attach the right amount of postage . ask your stationer about the need for additional postage for oddly shaped envelopes .
know that as a rule , about 10 to 20 percent of the people you invite won ' t attend . naturally , this depends on the location of your wedding ( destination weddings are harder to attend ) , how many out - of - towners are on your list , and the timing of the event ( some guests may have annual holiday plans ) .
you have four choices : you can welcome children with open arms ; you can decide to have an
adults only
wedding ; you can include immediate family only ; or , you can hire a child care service to provide day care either at the reception space , in a hotel room or at a family member ' s home . to prevent hurt feelings , it ' s wise to avoid allowing some families to bring children while excluding others ( unless , of course , the children are in your bridal party ) .
pare down your guest list with the
tiers of priority
trick . place immediate family , the bridal party and best friends on top of the list ; follow with aunts , uncles , cousins and close friends you can ' t imagine celebrating without . under that , list your parents ' friends , neighbors , coworkers and so on . if you need to make some cuts , start from the bottom until you reach your ideal number .
put together a wedding planning schedule and do things one by one , in a logical order , so you don ' t take on too much too fast and end up with everything snowballing around you . don ' t hire any vendors before you ' ve confirmed your date ; don ' t design your cake before you ' ve envisioned your flowers ; and don ' t book a band before you ' ve settled on a space .
if your guest list is bursting at the seams , assess the plus - one scenario . do a faux seating chart in your mind , and imagine whom your single pal would sit with . if it ' s a table of singles that she knows pretty well , then you ' re all set . if it ' s a table of couples ( making her the odd one out ) or if it ' s a table of singles where she won ' t know anyone , consider bending the rules . if asked why you ' re not allowing single friends to bring guests , size or budget constraints or your parents ' never - ending guest list are always good reasons .
as soon as you ' ve picked a date , start to look for hotels in a wide variety of price points . many hotels allow you to reserve rooms for guests under a special wedding block and a reduced rate . you can then release any unbooked rooms a month prior to your wedding . if the hotels you contact insist upon contracts with cancellation penalties , just say no—you don ' t want to be responsible for rooms you can ' t fill .
make sure guests know where they ' re going . as easy as online map programs are to use , sometimes the directions are wrong or there ' s a quicker , less traffic - prone route to take . ask your ceremony and reception sites for printouts or digital copies of recommended driving directions and even test out the routes yourself . then include the best directions on your wedding website or email them to your guests to print out if they ' d like .
get any nonstandard changes to your agreements in writing or send the vendor a confirmation email saying ,
hello , just confirming that you ' ll keep the venue open until 2 a . m . versus midnight .
don ' t just assume everything ' s all set—sometimes , by the time the actual day rolls around , your contact for a certain may no longer be working there to vouch for you .
you must make sure there ' s ample time for setup . if you ' re renting a venue and bringing in outside help , ask what time people can come in to start setting . see if they can do it the day before , or at the very least the entire wedding day , before the event starts .
you can check your state ' s license requirements online , but confirm with a call to the county clerk ' s office to see when they ' re open . even if it ' s open from 9 a . m . to 5 p . m . , they may issue marriage licenses only during slower times like , say , thursdays from 2 p . m . to 3 p . m . give a copy of your marriage license to your mom or your maid of honor ( just in case you lose yours during the final days before your wedding ) .
be prepared—ask the manager of the house of worship or site where you ' ll be married for the list of restrictions ( if any ) . for instance , is flash photography or bare shoulders prohibited ? or , if you ' re exchanging vows outdoors , are you allowed to plant tent stakes in the lawn ( which is often not allowed ) ?
wedding budgets are all about balance . start your budget planning by making a checklist of the crucial details , like the music , your wedding gown , the invitations , the flowers and the photographer , and assign a number to each—one being the most important and three being the least . invest your money in all your number ones and cut corners on your number threes . ( but everything can ' t fall into the number one category ! ) for example , if a designer gown and fabulous food are what really matter , you may have to choose simple invitations and smaller floral arrangements .
make sure your guests can both see and hear from their seats . if people are seated farther than 15 rows back from your ceremony altar or podium , consider renting a mic and a riser . this could range anywhere from $ 50 to $ 100 , depending on the equipment used . you ' ll need to coordinate the delivery and setup with your ceremony space , so put your wedding planner or best man in charge of this task .
keep an emergency contact sheet or phone with your vendor contacts on you on your wedding day—it may come in handy in case your limo driver gets lost or you decide you ' d like your photographer to take some behind - the - scenes shots .
don ' t go dress shopping on your own—all the gowns will start to look the same after a while and it will be harder to recall which style you really loved . but be careful about who you do bring . if your mom or sibling can ' t make the trip , ask a friend who is truly honest . this is the time when you really need to know which dress looks best .
when it comes down to the last month of your planning ( and when you ' re particularly harried ) look at your mile long to - do list and cut three things . yes , cut three things . not crucial things you just don ' t feel like doing , such as picking a processional song or confirming final details with all of your vendors . eliminate only the over - the - top tasks like hand - painting
just married
signs , or baking cookies for all of the welcome bags . cross them off and make a pledge not to think about them again .

prolific : a sample from the author’s collection . it is paramacharya whom t . s . sridharan alias bharanitharan alias marina repeatedly thanks during the conversation . incidentally , not many are aware of cheeli , the cartoonist , yet another hat that marina donned and sridhar , writer of political jokes . on the whole , it is time well - spent talking to this multifaceted personality , octogenarian , who has chosen to spend the evening of his life in spiritual activities . he is guiding the affairs of the sri kamakoti seshadri swamigal mantap committee .
born on christmas day in 1925 , marina had an eventful adolescence , the interesting phase neatly chronicled in his autobiographical book , ‘chinna vayadhinilae . ’ graduating in commerce in 1947 , he found himself interested in freelancing and cartooning . dailies such as swadesamithran encouraged him in the endeavour . he preferred working in the editorial department of ananda vikatan to a job in the reserve bank of india . after about three decades of significant contribution , he retired in 1985 as the journal’s joint editor .
sridharan describes those three decades as the golden period . coming close to paramacharya was a great fortune that paved the way for successes on several fronts , according to him . sridharan thanks s . s . vasan , editor of ananda vikatan , who encouraged him and with equal reverence remembers his father , t . n . seshachalam , mentor and a perennial source of inspiration .
association with ananda vikatan proved enriching . he got opportunities to meet religious heads and political leaders such as kamaraj and rajagopalachari . reviewing the films of sivaji ganesan , k . balachander and sridhar was an interesting experience .
poornam viswanathan ( right ) who made thani - k - kudithanam an immortal classic ; and bharanitharan .
seshachalam , a scholar , was also associated with a tamil literary journal of kalanilayam , between 1928 and 1935 . “my father had mastered kamban and shakespeare and firmly believed that it was life that got enacted on stage . he translated othello and julius caesar and r . p . sheldon’s play pissaro ; the translated tamil version was staged in 1937 .
“during the numerous rehearsals at home ( i was around 12 and memorised the entire dialogue ) , i used to do the prompting even for senior artists . perhaps , the seeds were sown then , ” says sridharan .
what brought about the pilgrim series ? again bharanitharan attributes it to the sage of kanchi ( while drawing his attention to a discussion on chakkiyar koothu , on an early morning exclusive customary talk with him ) . “and it was paramacharya , who prompted me to document the experiences of my pilgrimages ( 1968 - 85 ) . these were published in aalaya dharisanam and ananda vikatan . later they were published as books . writing plays became a pastime . ”
