With multiple National Awards, this memorable flick, released in 1987, was one of the most notable works of Maniratnam though it was broadly outlined on The Godfather!
The excellent visuals of P. C. Sreeram, brilliant art work of Thotta Dharani and the scintillating score of Ilaiyaraja uplifted the film to herculean heights!
It was a huge success both critically and commercially.
All the artistes were impressive and the film at the time of its re-release now, stands tall even after so many years, giving the viewers a feel of freshness!
A memorable flick that sketches the life and times of a man who grew up in stature and status from nowhere to bring everywhere!
A walk down the memory lane!
