Sommaokkaandha Sokkudhudee / Iru Nilavugal. Kamal played the role of an absent minded doctor. YGM dubbed for him in Tamil.

I have heard about a movie which came almost during the same time - 'Unarchigal'. He played a deaf/mute along with Sujatha, IIRC. How good is this movie?

anyone replied to this? Allow me.

Deaf mute role was in Uyarnthavargal. So and so film, one good song, Iraivan Irandu bommaigal (when Shankar Ganesh was doing MSV pastiche). Can't remember Unarchigal which was apparently experimental at that time, not supposed to have song but had to include for commerce sake.

My folks went to see Unarchigal without me saying that I was too young

Thanks Groucho! You were the first to reply.

Nov, your folks were right

Unarchigal is a Tamil language film starring Kamal Haasan in the lead role. It is a highly sensuous film which deals with sexually transmitted diseases. The movie ran into big trouble with the censor board. It was made in 1972, but released only after four years. It was Kamal Hassan's first movie as hero, despite being released 4 years later. The movie also has Srividya in a supporting role. The same film was later remade in Malayalam as Raasaleela and released in 1975.

Raasaleela is a 1975 Malayalam film by N. Sankaran Nair starring Kamal Hassan and Jayasudha. It is a remake of the Tamil film Unarchigal which also starred Kamal Hassan, but got released before the original. It is a soft-porn movie that faced many problems in the censor. It was also dubbed and released in Tamil and ran for 100 days in Tamil Nadu.

I'm happy that I could get some recognition among theevira KH fans for these people. ('dummy' title getting replaced with 'associate' 'grunt work' 'executor' kind of far more decent descriptions)!

app, speaking for myself, I don't think I've ever called him a 'dummy' or anything to that effect. In most cases, I guess I just don't mention him at all! Which you might say is quite unfair but the truth is as the audience at the receiving end, we generally don't talk about a lot of executors who carry out significant tasks. Any full-fledged film involves several people who share the passion for making movies.

Absoleetly. It was the first film of Singeetham with Kamal so it has a significant place. As I said before, sila pala teknikkis are there int his film that later showed up in MMKR. Singeetham's non-Kamal movies may not be in the same class but the man certainly has a creative vision that has contributed to the Kamal colloborations.

Pre-90's Kamal many times mentioned that Singeetham is one of the best directors he worked with. Kamal learnt lot of things from Singeetham as well..

App - your petulance is uncalled for. I am sorry you are the one who is being petulant. Why try to barb as if this is a typical fan boy squabble. Fact is there has been a very patient, point by point articulation of why SB doesn't deserve creative credit. You are really shifting the goalposts every day and trying to create a strawman which you can demolish then. Exasperating!

Plum,

equa sir,
nanRinga !
I understand your stand. All that I'm trying here is for "some respect" to these "hub-unsung" folks. (Plum may not agree and say I'm creating a strawman. That's because he chose to ignore SKV's posts. All I ask is P_R bAshaiyil sollum bronze kiNNam kooda illa...just oru aluminium vessel or tupperware, against the "pAthi-kadichcha-samoosA" from that pAththiram)
