- Chandralekha is a 1948 Tamil drama film directed and produced by S. S. Vasan. It features an ensemble cast comprising of M.K. Radha, Ranjan, T. R. Rajakumari, N. S. Krishnan and Maduram. Made on a lavish budget of $600,000 ($28 million in 2008 prices) it remains as the most expensive film ever made in the history of Tamil Cinema to date, though the film was a flop. The filming was completed over five years in and around Kodambakkam, Chennai. The film tells the story of rivalry between two princes for power and the love of a dancer named Chandralekha. The villainous prince tries to force the village dancer to marry him, and she agrees on one condition — that there be a gigantic drum dance (which turn out to be a Trojan horse). Its distributor, Gemini Studios became the first Tamil studio to attempt an all-India distribution. The film was re-released in Hindi. Establishing the Tamil popular tradition of film-making, and a national existence outside of Bombay's output, it is still remembered as a cultural extravaganza for its array of costumes and use of many extras, its famous drum–dance sequence and long sword–fight sequence. The film was noted for its production values then.
