History

When cinema became a passion, Subramaniam decided to buy some property to begin a studio complex. He bought land at Nemom, Thiruvananthapuram, and founded the studio in 1951, with two floors and a single camera. The first production Atma Sakhi (1952), was given a lukewarm reception by viewers. It was the comedy film Avakashikal that put Merryland on the success chart. Mantravadi (1957) was the first film that made Subramaniam a director. He went on to direct 59 films, out of the 69 films produced by Merryland. The list includes a string of landmark films of Malayalam cinema history.[1]

Hridayathinte Nirangal was the last movie to come out of Merryland. Subramaniam died in 1979, and it spelt the death knell of Merryland Studio as a powerhouse of Malayalam Cinema.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]

gollark: Specifically, for some foolish reason they allowed webpages to access `shell`, without unsafe functions like `run`.
gollark: Sorry, blacklisting instead of whitelisting.
gollark: Unfortunately they used whitelisting instead of blacklisting in some bits so eventually after CC updates a few functions crept through which can allow arbitrary code execution out of the sandbox.
gollark: The developers were pretty sensible and made it run sandboxed Lua.
gollark: > Does it run arbitrary lua or something?Not *entirely*.
