reviews:
1. from en.wikipedia.o...
Kindanar kathakalatchepam (a parody of the story of Nandanar and a telling of B. R. Ambedkar's life story) were two of the musical skits thus included. With the modifications, the plot was sidelined and importance was given to the socio-political messages and themes.
The musical skit "Kindanar Kalatchepam" became popular
2. from antrukandamuga...
Remembered for: Its socio-reformist song and dance sequences, and Harikatha kalakshepam, “Kindanar”, a take-off of “Nandanar”, highlighting the need for abolishing untouchability and caste discrimination.

This is the song book cover of Nallathambi, a 1949 classic starring N.S.Krishnan, T.A.Madhuram, S.V.Sahasranamam, P.Bhanumathi and others. Directed by the legendary duo of Krishnan Panju,the story and dialogues were by C.N.Annadurai.
The focus of this post is the "Kindanar Charitram", a wonderful exposition on untouchability conceived and performed brilliantly by N.S.Krishnan. It speaks of the journey of a boy to Madras from his village for his higher studies and his experiences here.
The entire piece, which includes a delightful exhibition of the "Madras Bhashai" can be watched here.

This sequence was inspired by a real life experience of Babu Rajendra Prasad when he visited rural Bihar in 1937 during the General Elections. Next, inspired by saint Nandanar’s life story, NSK created a character named ‘Kindhan’, a rural lad who faces discrimination based on his caste. Kindhan takes a trip to Madras by train and is surprised that people travelling on the train do not practice such discrimination. Nobody objects to where he sits! NSK, in a masterstroke, used the train as a metaphor of abolishing caste discrimination. He sings ‘Railey Railey’ in praise of the train.
In fact , he planned a full-length film titled ‘Kindanar’ and even ran advertisements. Sadly, his 30-month jail term ensured that the project was dropped. Whatever he had in his mind, he performed as Kindanar which became very popular. He, then introduced it as a sequence in ‘Nallathambi'.
NSK’s image as a cult figure and a socially-conscious reformer grew in good measure. Known as the ‘Charlie Chaplin of India’, he made people laugh and think.
5. from historical dictionary of tamils
N. S. Krishnan’s Kindanar with its fiery anti¬caste dialogue.
6. from archives.swaraj...
hen he did a“ Harikatha”’ called “ Kindanar” which was modelled on the well known composition “ Nandanar”, but was not a burlesque of it, It dealt with the longing of u village lad to go to Madras, in the same way the great Nanda longed to go to Chidambaram. The parody lay in the adaptation of the original songs to the new theme, and in what may be called the de-sublimation of the sublime.
