PERFORMANCE:
Thalivar is the main back bone of the movie as Pokiri Raja he is superb ( Watchout for scene in which Engineer goes back to jail superb style)
Sridevi is gorgeous and mature thinking women who share his husband problems and helps him

TRIVA:
It was a second time double role for Thalaivar first one BILLA
It was second movie for AVM
The movie is a Telugu remake starring Superstar Krishna
Initially Rajini was not convinced with the movie but when producers and director suggested Rajini agreed
Rajini came by scooter at night to watch this movie(Telugu) . AVM car followed him to his residence to make sure he reached safely
The song Pokkirikku Pokkiri Raja was picturised in kundrathur with sharp boulders . Rajini acted without slippers carrying Radhika on his back.
He made fun showing his back to radhika indicating that he suffered a lot to carry her , thereby making fun of her
Outdoor shooting was suddenly arranged , Rajini was in another shooting when SPM said this he immediately joined them when SPM asked to go to his home he refused saying
Sir “ You will give me Lungi to wear in hotel, in shoot I will wear costumes, lets go to shooting spot” Amazing level of simplicity
Muthuraman acted as a villan for first time in his carrier
This was the last film for
Muthuraman died in ooty when he was on his morning walk.
Kannadasan also wrote Kadavul Padachan zong & went to America but sad to say only his dead body arrived
The movie collected more than MurattuKaalai in some areas( Ananda Picture Suresh)

Ragulram
Keep up the good work :thumbsup:
IIRC , this the "Only" movie in which Muthuraman plays a villain?? Such a versatile actor, but for some reason, -tive roles don't suit him!
I love one song by SPB in this film, called "Kadavul padaithaan" really hilarious!
