Inimai Itho Itho is a nice comedy film starring Chandrasekar and Nisha(pretty woman, what happened to her?) in the lead. Allow me to tell you the story. :)
Kuppusami(Chandrasekar) is a single man, somewhat wealthy, lives in a village and makes a living by stealing and cheating others for money, and spends half his time drinking. His best pal is a twelve year old boy who is his accomplice in his frauds. Kannamma(Nisha) is a young woman, poor, with no parents or relatives to look after her and lives in a nearby village. She is kicked out of her village over a false accusation. The little boy brings her to Kuppusami to work as a help. Kannamma decides to seduce Kuppusami and marry him so that she can have a safe life. But Kuppusami treats her badly because he is too cheap and she is only a servant.
Another young man comes to the village and he likes Kannamma. She pretends to flirt with him to make Kuppusami jealous. It works. Kuppusami tells Kannamma that he likes her, and asks her to be his... concubine! Upset over his proposal and his drunken attempt to rape her, Kannamma considers accepting the other man's love, because that man wants to actually marry her. In the meantime, the villagers insult Kuppusami for cohabiting with Kannamma. In an impulse, Kuppusami decides to marry Kannamma and makes all the wedding plans within a few hours. But Kannamma agrees to leave the village with the other man. Kuppusami overhears this, gets angry, gets drunk, threatens to kill her, then calms down and blabbers how much he loves her and wants to marry her. He then walks away with his bottle of liquor. Now the other man comes to pick up Kannamma to leave for town. Finally, it is time for Kannamma to make a decision. She has to choose one of the two men. So, whom did Kannamma choose? Sorry, cannot break the suspense. :poke:
With the lovely early 80s sounds of IR and the sweet voices of PS and KC, today's pick was quite popular when it released and still remains a favorite to many fans. The song was picturized on Nisha and the other man when she accepts his love.
