Saw the second half of Oruvar Vaazhum Aalayam courtesy Jaya TV. Have not watched the movie since 1988, when I saw it during it's release. Yes there are some scenes that are usual cinematic clichés but still Prabhu makes it a compulsory watch. Always at ease while playing the innocent village bumpkin character, his konjals and vazhiyals with Radhu are enjoyable to the core.
Add to it his smooth dance steps with grace and poise in Malaiyoram song [a soothing melody], you get a feel good feeling watching him. Even in the melodramatic scenes you find him doing a very neat job. Radhu when compared to Nizhalgal was looking too good.
This was script writer Shanmuga priyan's first directorial venture and the fact that he came out unscathed was a good omen for him but later due to unknown reasons he faded away from the scenario. A movie that did well at BO too crossing 100 days.
For me the film was one of Prabhu's best in 1988 when he had a dream year.
Good one, sir. The film at that time was more known for Sivakumar attempting to repeat his Sindhu Bhairavi (non)performance. But songs were fantastic. I totally forgot Prabhu's performance.

Thanks for the write up Murali sir. Did not have the opportunity to watch this film in the recent past. The role was tailor made for Prabhu and he excelled. Still remember few songs by Ilayaraja and beautiful visuals ( on the banks of Thamiraparani - closer to my native place) .
பாடலில் உள்ள சில இடங்கள் நாயகன் பாடலை நினைவூட்டினாலும் மிகச் சிறந்த பாடல்களில் இதுவும் ஒன்று. குறிப்பாக பூமரக் காத்து வரிகள் ஒலிக்கும் போது நாமே அக்காற்றை அனுபவிப்பது போல் ஒரு உணர்வு ஏற்படும். மகேஷ் அவர்களுக்காக மற்றும் அனைத்து நண்பர்களுக்காக இதோ அப்பாடல்-
அன்புடன்
விமர்சனங்களுக்கு அப்பாற்பட்ட இறைவன் நடிகர் திலகம்.. கடலின் ஆழத்தை அளந்து விடலாம். நடிகர் திலகத்தின் செல்வாக்கை அளக்க முடியாது... அது பயனளிக்கும் போது தான் அதன் ஆழம் புரியும்....
பிரபுவின் பாடல்கள் என்றால் இப்பாடல் தவறாமல் நினைவுக்கு வரும். சீர்காழி சிவ சிதம்பரம் குரலில் மிக இனிமையான பாடல், மெல்லிசை மன்னரின் இசையில் இனிமை....இளமை......புதுமை.......
