Sathi Leelavathi (1936 film)
Sathi Leelavathi  is a 1936 Indian Tamil-language drama film directed by Ellis R. Dungan, and produced by A. N. Marudachalam Chettiar.
It is based on S. S. Vasan's novel of the same name, which was serialised in 1934 in the magazine "Ananda Vikatan".
The film has an ensemble cast, including M. K. Radha, T. S. Balaiah, M. G. Ramachandran, M. V. Mani, M. K. Mani, P. Nammalvar, T. N. Lakshmana Rao, M. R. Gnanambal, Santhakumari, M. S. Murugesan and N. S. Krishnan.
In "Sathi Leelavathi", Krishnamurthy, a wealthy Madras-based man is lured into drinking by his friend Ramanathan and brings misery on himself.
Believing that he murdered his other friend Parasuraman in a drunken stupor, Krishnamurthy flees to Ceylon to live anonymously; his wife Leelavathi and daughter Lakshmi are reduced to poverty.
Although Chettiar initially wanted to produce a film version of the Madurai Original Boy's Company (MOBC) theatre troupe play "Pathi Bhakthi", another film version was already being made without him.
Madras Kandaswamy Mudaliar, who wrote the MOBC play, later told Chettiar about Vasan's novel, which had the same storyline.
After Chettiar obtained the rights to make a film version of the novel, Mudaliar began writing the screenplay of "Sathi Leelavathi".
It was Dungan's directorial debut and the film-acting debuts of Radha, Balaiah, Ramachandran and K. A. Thangavelu; all except Thangavelu were theatre actors associated with the MOBC. "
Sathi Leelavathi" was the first film on which Krishnan worked, and his second release.
The film was shot primarily in Madras at Vel Pictures Studio.
Cinematography was handled by D. T. Telang and V. J. Shave, and Dungan co-edited the film with Sircar.
"Sathi Leelavathi" explores themes such as temperance, social reform, selfless service and the plight of labourers.
It was one of the earliest Tamil films which was the subject of a court case involving copyright violation; the MOBC accused its filmmakers of plagiarising the "Pathi Bhakthi" play.
The case was resolved when Vasan testified that both the play and the novel were based on the British writer Ellen Wood's 1860 novel "Danesbury House", therefore neither party could claim originality. "
Sathi Leelavathi" was released on 28 March 1936.
The film was a commercial success, and made Dungan a sought-after director; several features he introduced in "Sathi Leelavathi" became staples of Tamil cinema, including strict discipline, shooting by schedule, camera mobility, cabaret dances and less-theatrical acting.
No complete print of the film is known to survive, making it a partially lost film, but what remains is preserved in the West Virginia State Archives.
