Vivasayee (Tamil: விவசாயி English: Farmer), is a 1967 Indian Tamil film, directed by M. A. Thirumugam, starring M. G. Ramachandran in the lead role, with K. R. Vijaya, M. N. Nambiar, S. A. Asokan, Nagesh and Manorama, among others, enacting supporting roles.

Sandow M. M. A. Chinnappa Thevar's main intention to produce this movie was to encourage MGR's recovery from MGR's shooting incident, on 12 January 1967. Sandow M. M. A. Chinnappa Thevar paid the advance for the movie at the hospital during his first visit to see MGR. When MGR recovered and after completing Arasa Kattalai and Kaavalkaaran (1967 film), he immediately started this project and completed it within months. Remember, MGR's speech therapy (for the vocal cord damage) wasn't complete at the time.

Plot

Somewhere in the Tamil country, in one of its vast green campaigns...

Muthaiya (MGR), a young agronomist and a farmer, full of ingenuity, a high integrity, a worker and a pride of his parents, the rich big landowner, The Pannaiyar Duraiswamy (Major Sundarrajan) and of his wife, the devoted Sivagami (S. N. Lakshmi), revolutionize the exploitation of his father, by applying new methods of sowing.

He (MGR) so hopes to multiply tenfold the yield for humanitarian purposes and not necessarily for profit.

Because, one day, he takes the defense of unfortunate farmers despoiled of their ground, by his neighbor, another big farmer, The Pannaiyar Velupandhiyan (M. N. Nambiar), a being without scruples, Muthaiya incurs the wrath of this very vindictive character.

The situation complicates when very attractive Vidjaya (K. R. Vijaya) falls in love with the beautiful Muthaiya.

Indeed, she (K. R. Vijaya) is to be the sister-in-law of Velupandhiyan. And that the latter desired her ardently under the nose of his wife, the devoted believer Kaveri (C. R. Vijayakumari).

To see her taking off from between his fingers, makes him (M. N. Nambiar) particularly dangerous and obnoxious with his wife, Kaveri.

Now, Muthaiya is even more in danger, Velupandhiyan wants to kill him...

gollark: Then, you just move it a little bit toward lower loss (gradient descent).

gollark: You have a big thing of settable parameters determining how you go from input to output. And if you know what the result *should* be (on training data), then as the maths is all "differentiable", you can differentiate it and get the gradient of loss wrt. all the parameters.
