Classic scene by Rajni .. Siva sambo :lol:

Param,
For one thing, this movie was considered commercially loss making those days. Definitely not a big hit. With all the (relatively) huge expenses of going abroad for shooting those days, that too with too many big stars, having such an average run should have been disastrous for the producer. It possibly had some run in Chennai but in most other centers, it didn't even cross 50 days I think, despite having Kamal-Rajini for a Sujatha story. (Remember, the Chennai business wasn't as big a % as current in 70's ; also not too many theaters, so a movie had to run many days to even break-even).
Music was a big hit, without question!
engEyum eppOdhum & namma ooru singAri are both my all-time favourites!
'lAlla lalla lA lA' by SPB-SJ is another one very dear to me.
Bharathi kaNNammA / yAdhum oorE are excellent melodies but I'm not a big fan no-thanks to teacharammA :neutral: They were patti-thotti hits in TN, however!
All said and done, I won't rate that as all-time-number-one of TFM.
Reason? It had ABBA's mAmA miA copied :oops: (vAnilE song).
That way, with a copied song, to call it our best would be an insult to all the masters of TFM, IMSO!
I've watched the movie in college auditorium, few years after its release and liked only the Rajinikanth portions. Boring otherwise, even the song scenes / sequences were uninteresting.
:shock: I agree the story was irrational, but with this sort of music and the lead actors/ Singapore locals, O thought the movie would have been hit.Quote:

Teacheramma, I learned later, was Vani Jeyaram (ABC, nee vAsi...)
I am also baffled with the copy claim. SambanthamE illaiyE....
Oh wait, sorry didn't read your sentence property, you said, I "also like".
Other small songs also worth mentioning, like the fountain song, and the waiting song, plus the one when Rajini goes hunting for the mysterious caller.
Oh ! I like her voice. I really liked her "Aanantha thAndavamO" song in this movie, esp the the way she sings ArrarE harE rAma oh HarE krishna" :)Quote:

I am also confused, let app anna clarify :)Quote:

That was Hilarious esp the reaction RK gives when ever he hears the word " anbarE" .Quote:

I wouldn't mind both, but NI gets more marks, better comedy, I prefer Rajini here.Quote:

hmm I prefer NI , mainly because of the songs!
Ah another song that come to my mind is " naa naana naana ... ninaithaalE inumu, an affair to remember" and the rest of humming by deadly (SPB+SJ) duo is simply mesmerising!
