Michael Madana Kama Rajan and Comedy of Errors
Michael madana kama rajan is a 1990 Indian Tamil language comedy movie. it
was directed by Singeetam Srinivasa Rao and written by Kamal Hasan with Crazy Mohan
penning the dialogues. This movie is inspired from Shakespeare play Comedy of Errors.
Some elements are as similar as in the play, some are different. now we are going to
broadly discuss about the similarities and differences between the play and the movie.
The play Comedy of Errors is about the separation of two different twins which
means two pair of twins having different parents, here in the movie is about the separation
of quadruplets who belongs to single parents. in the play, the family was separated in the
ship wreck, here in the movie they were forcibly separated by the antagonist who is the
brother of the quadruplets father. There is no antagonist role is in the play, the play is
going in the flow of the life and situations. But in the movie, everything happened because
of the antagonist, who is with full greed on his brothers property.
Both in the movie as well as play, they were separated in the childhood and
reunited at their young age. the other twins in the play is the slave of Antipholuses. These
slave character is played in the movie, in the name of Bheem, who is the servant of madan.
And the role of Antipholus is equally played by four Kamal Hasan charater. Like in the
play they are united at the end of the drama.
Director used the story line and made some changes according to
contemporary audience, this movie became blockbuster hit in the box office. like the play ,
it starts with lots of confusions which are resolved at the end. This movie is not mere the
adaptation of the play, but its inspired from it.
