Sourashtra Community and Cinema Industry
February 22, 2009 | Entertainment, Music
During the early 1960s, the Sourashtrians contributed to Tamil movies. You would be familiar with one of the mostbeautiful actress, Venniradai Nirmala. She belongs to the Sourashtra community in Madurai.

M.N. Rajam and Devadas are other notable artists from the Sourashtra community.
It is also notable that popular playback singers like T.M. Soundara Rajan, A.L. Raghavan, and S.C. Krishnan also belong to the Sourashtra community. They have the talent of pronouncing Tamil very accurately and clearly.

Very good effort. many producers like subburaman are in the field. film directors like devadoss – actress devika’s husband, can be added. please follow your article. thank you very much for your effort.
why bring the cinema connection so early into the website? is it a result of “community complex”? are we trying to take a convenient shelter behind a select few who have made it big? the content say ” they have the talent of pronouncing tamil very accurately and clearly”- please, this is no big deal. are we trying to say that the community lacks the basic skill of pronouncing tamil very accurately in spite of parking in Tamil nadu for centuries together? if yes, Shame on us. this is no telanet. this is a very normal interest and practice the select few have undertaken.

Namaskar,
I have to-day had a nice opportunity to go through this web site. I am also one of sourashtrians living in Tamil Nadu. Really, it is wonderful to note that during the period of 1950 to 1970, hard working, eminent people really shined in all field. After the handloom industry gone down with the advent of Mills Sourashtrians became economically weaker community. Now they are spread all over India in small denomination after getting jobs according to their educational qualifications. 70% sourashtra must have switched their family occupation of weaving. Mostly still living a disciplined, hardworking, crime hating, peace loving people who had all round development. I wish the earlier glory of our ancestors should be restored.
Thanking you,
I was trying to find more information on Sourashtra Community and Cinema Industry | Sourashtra – Palkar Community on Google and this page was the first site I saw about it. Thanks for sharing and now I know where to find hot stuff in the future
There is a Palkar guy from Salem who acts in Chellame, Radhika’s Tamil TV serial. He is that handsome guy who runs away from his lover girl when 4 guys threaten to kill him if he doesn’t leave her and run away. He eventually acts like a maniac. Does anybody know his real name?
I feel proud to be a palkar.
I am from salem , I dont know . which guy is acting in the serial. pl give me some details so that i can locate that guy.
To add to the list, Actress Sukanya (hailing from Kumbakonam) is also a Sowrastrian
its very nice to watch this website. sourasthra community angun sokkat karuvo….
Thanks a lot to those who created this website to know
about our people. our people also should involve in the community service.
regards
Rather than contributions in films that too in a small [fit for nothing] kollywood circle, I wish we should present our community’s contributions in following fields.
- DEFENCE
- ECONOMY AND BUSINESS
- SPORTS
- SOCIAL SERVICE
- LEAD ROLES IN PUBLIC SECTOR [such as Advisors etc]
- RESEARCH
- MEDICINE
This will HIGHLIGHT our community to the world. Contribution to cinema alone shows our community in VERY POOR LIGHT.
Humble request – If you do not mind, please remove this section FROM OUR WEBSITE.
