When the play was turned into a film, theatres were even vandalized.Įven his “Compositor Kavithai” (The poetry of compositors!), a rollicking spoof of Karunanidhi’s poetic oeuvres that fell in the range of modern poetry and hence were not metrical, evoked an overwhelming response. Karunanidhi’s flunkeys went about lambasting Cho in crude terms, and the Chief Minister himself took a dig or two, claiming it was the Brahminical lobby that was speaking through Cho. It has actually not received the recognition due to it outside the state, though it ruffled innumerable feathers within Tamil Nadu.
His “Mohammed Bin Thuglaq” was a devastating satire on the regime of the day. But when Karunanidhi became Chief Minister and his goon squad turned more and more menacing, large sections of non-Brahmins too became extremely disenchanted and Cho’s barbs were a welcome relief.
