Pick #628
Song: kadalgaLum Ezu
Film: Thodarum Uravu
Music: Gangai Amaran
Singers: Gangai Amaran, S.P.Shailaja
Lyrics: Vaali
Year: 1986(?)
"Thodarum Uravu" starred a very young Karthik and and a very young Urvasi. An uncomplicated story, beautiful mountain locations, nice camera work by Suresh Menon, good looks of Karthik, and a good performance from both of the lead actors make the film watchable. It is Urvasi's first Tamil film though it seems to have released few years after it was made. Karthik still thin and pretty as sponge cake. The film was directed by Karthik Raghunath.
Julie(Urvasi) is a college student studying Psychology. She and her classmates, all girls, come to a mental hospital run by V.Gopalakrishnan, the chief doctor of the hospital, to do a project as part of their college work. There she meets Vijay(Karthik) who is a patient undergoing treatment, which includes painful electric shock therapy recommended and administered by the chief doctor himself. Vijay maintains that he is not insane and everytime he fights with the doctor or the nurse or the guards, even if it is for a valid reason, he is given another round of painful shock therapy. The visiting student Julie shows care and kindness to Vijay just to be polite, but Vijay quickly falls in love with her.
Soon after the girls leave, Vijay is recommended another round of shock therapy for getting in a fight with another patient. But he is not ready to take it any more. He attacks the warden and the guards, jumps over the fence and escapes from the facility. He finds a jeep parked by the side of a road, steals it and drives away. While driving the jeep down the mountain roads he comes upon a car wreck. Inside the car he finds Julie lying unconscious. He picks her up, takes her in the jeep and starts driving looking for a hospital to treat her. But, on the way he is stopped at a checkpost by the police who are looking for a stolen jeep. Vijay drives through the barrier and is chased by a police officer(Vijayakumar). Vijay drives into the woods and dirt roads to escape the police and ends up in a cottage far from civilization.
The next morning Julie wakes up and finds out that she has been kidnapped by a mental patient. She screams and cries, tries to run away and tries to get away in the jeep. But nothing works. Vijay says he is not insane, will not hurt her and will take her home safely. But that she has to wait until he can find a safe way to meet his father wihtout being caught by police. He then goes into town and brings food for her, presents her a saree for Christmas and celebrates the holiday with her. He behaves a perfect gentleman and Julie slowly changes his opinion about him. When she asks him about how he ended up in the mental hospital he tells her his story in flashback.
Vijay's mother is no more and his rich father marries another woman. His stepmother steals money from his father's account by forging his signature. Vijay catches her in the act. She makes up excuses and then tries to seduce him.. That is when his father walks in on them. She screams, accuses that Vijay was trying to molest her, that he must be crazy and needs treatment. Vijay is forcefully admitted into the mental hospital and kept under tight security. That is how he became "insane". Now he needs to go meet his father and tell him the truth. Julie says she will go with him too. The two of them leave the cottage to go meet his father.
SPOILER ALERT! Skip the next paragraph if you do not want to know how the film ends.
The police, now looking for a stolen jeep and a missing girl, close in on them. So, Vijay leaves Julie in the custody of a tribal group (you know, the tribal group that all lovers come across when they are lost in the woods). Julie safe with the tribals, Vijay manages to escape police and reaches home. He sneaks into the house and finds his stepmother in bed with another man. Vijay goes to attack the man and finds out that he is none other than the Chief Doctor of the mental hospital, V.Goplalakrishnan. While Vijay is tackling him his stepmother attacks Vijay on the head with a table lamp. At this time Julie manages to come to Vijay's house and Vijay's father also arrives at the house. Hurt badly in the head by his stepmother Vijay collapses onto the floor and... dies! Yes, he dies! Just like that! You are like... "WHAT???". The film ends there and they display a card that says "kAthalargaL aziyalAm, AnAl kAthal azivathillai, athu thodarum uRavu"... And you are like, "WHAT THE ????". :banghead: :evil:
SPOILER ENDS!
Today's pick is a lovely duet. This is when Vijay and Julie celebrate Christmas in the forest.
