Mayavaram Krishnamurthy Thyagaraja Bhagavathar (Tamil: மாயவரம் கிருஷ்ணமூர்த்தி தியாகராஜ பாகவதர்) (1 March 1901 – 1 November 1959), also called M.K.T., was a Tamil film actor, producer and Carnatic music singer. He is considered to be one of the most successful Tamil film actors ever.
Bhagavathar was born in the town of Mayiladuthurai in then Tanjore district of the Madras Presidency, British India. He started his career as a classical singer and stage artist in the late 1920s. In 1934, he made his début in films with the movie Pavalakkodi which turned out to be a hit. From 1934 to 1959, Bhagavathar acted in 14 films of whom 6 were box-office hits. Bhagavathar's 1944 film Haridas ran for three consecutive years at Broadway Theatre, Madras and created the record for the longest continuous run at a single theatre. Bhagavathar was arrested in 1944 as one of the main suspects in the Lakshmikanthan Murder Case and spent three years in prison before being released in 1947 after a re-trial found him innocent. Bhagavathar's career declined after his arrest and though he did continue to act in Tamil films after his release from prison, none of them did well. Bhagavathar died of diabetes at the age of 58 on 1 November 1959.
Bhagavathar was acclaimed for his powerful, melodious voice and the ease with which he could sing high pitch notes. Critics and film historians acknowledge Bhagavathar as the "first superstar of Tamil cinema".
Bhagavathar was a philanthropist and contributed for important social and religious causes. He was awarded a "Diwan Bahadur" title by the Governor of Madras for his contribution to the British war efforts during the Second World War but he turned it down.






In 1937, Bhagavathar was cast in role of Bilwamangal in the film Chintamani directed by Y. V. Rao. Chintamani was a record-breaker and became the first Tamil film to run continuously for a year. Bhagavathar's songs in the movie were especially popular. The Tamil writer Kalki Krishnamurthy wrote that the film has made such an impact on the viewers that the housewife would sing the song Mayaprapanchattil from the movie while preparing coffee in the morning and her husband would sing Rathey unakku kobam in order to please his sweetheart. However, the songs that were featured in the gramophone records produced by Saraswathi Stores were not sung by Bhagavathar as he did not have any business understanding with the company. With the profits obtained from the movie, the owners of Rayal Talkies constructed a theatre in Madurai and named it Chintamani.
The very same year, Bhagavathar was offered the title role in the film Ambikapathy made by the American film director Ellis R. Dungan. The film was Bhagavathar's second consecutive hit in the year and broke records set by Chintamani. Dungan was, however, heavily criticized by the conservative Hindu society for introducing controversially intimate scenes between Bhagavathar and the heroine Santhanalakshmi. Bhagavathar played the role of Saivite saint Thiruneelakanta Nayanar in the 1939 movie Thiruneelakantar.

Tamil Kavithaikal

பகலில் உறங்கிடுவாள்
இரவில் எனக்காக கண்விழித்து
என் கவிதையை ரசிப்பாள்
யார் அவள்

"வானத்து நிலவு"








"நீ பார்க்கும் பார்வையும்,
சிரிக்கும்  சிரிப்பும்,
நீ என்னை காதலிக்கிறாய்
என்பது புரிகிறது !!

வேண்டாம் பெண்ணே..

மீசை கூட முளைக்காத
வயதில்,
என்னால் தாடி
வளர்க்க முடியாது"

நீ செய்யும் குரும்பை ரசிப்பவள்
நடை பழகி தந்தவள்
என் கண்கள் உறங்க தவம் செய்யும் தாமரை

"அம்மா"







காதல் வரும் வேலையில்
களவி வரும் அஞ்சாதே
அவள் கோவம் கொண்டு பேசும் போது
பிரிவு உன்னை தொடும் அஞ்சாதே
காதல் வந்த பின்னாலே
பொய்களும் உன் உதடோடு வரும் அஞ்சாதே
அவள் மௌனம் மட்டும் பார்த்து விட்டு
காதல் பயம் கொண்டு அஞ்சாதே
அவள் இதயத்தில் கலந்த பின்னும்
காதல் சொல்ல என்றும் "அஞ்சவே அஞ்சாதே"
