Thanks NOV.
First in the list would be Vidinja Kalyaanam & Muthal Vasantham. I usually confuse with these 2 movies.

Not seen : Andan Adimai, Ambigai Neril Vanthaal, Jothi, Anbin Mugavari, Kuvaa Kuvaa Vaaththukkal, Thozhar Pandian,

Can't remember : January 1, Theertha Karayinele, Veerappadhakkam, Government Mappillai, Ullathil Nalla Ullam

Anyway, even the titles are too good - Sandhana Kaatru, Therkku Theru Matchan, Puyal Paadum Paatu, Paalaivana Rojakal, Vidinja Kalyaanam ...

Typical Sundar C film. Enjoyed it with its limitations. Much better than his previous film. Santhanam was good too.

Watched 'Thillu mullu' in theatre..No need to compare wit the original..compare panna, epdiyum intha padathai 'nalla ilai'nu thaan solvaanga..
compare pannama paartha, nalla entertainment movie paartha thirupthi irukkum.. especially last 20 mins. (Santhanam portion) is laugh riot..

Siva s ok... as usual Prakashraj rocks

.. heroine s luking lik katrina kaif...i watched heroine's 1st film (malayalam)..athula adakkama iruntha ponnai, ithula glamour role.. Kovai sarala did her role gud.. bt epovume naakkula vel kuthittu irukkirathu (in front of prakash) is not logic..

My rating - 3/5...

Naagaraja cholan..

Nothing much to say..casting nd story is gud..bt screenplay is too weak..young sathyaraj character is totally waste nd forced climax..
bt naagarajan nd mani rocks.. mani dialogues nd slang

My rating - 2.5/5..

Watched two 1979 releases recently:
Kanni Paruvathile - which was a blockbuster then
Ponnu Oorukku Pudhusu

Both films dealt about sex, albeit illicit ones - a theme very popular during those times.
In Kanni Paruvathile Vadivukkarasi is married to an impotent Rajesh and in a moment of weakness she forgets herself with K. Bhagyaraj. Who then sees a window of opportunity open. Pattu vanna rosaavaam is the sad song of the impotent husband.

In Ponnu Oorukku Pudhusu, Shoba enters a village with 999 people as a Birth Control Consultant. Legend has it that the 1000th person in the village will die. The extremely sex song, Orampo (banned in both India and Malaysia) appears in this movie. Sudhakar "only" rides Shoba's bicycle in this song.

Again there is illicit sex, suspicions and gossip. And the usual twist in the end.
