K.Balachander is the best director of Tamil films no doubt... but this film is a real surprise from him! this movie differs much from other films! Jaishanker who plays the part of college professor was being accused by three girls, two were his students and third by his neighbor, for different reasons but with same note that he has sexually harassed them, just before his marriage! his fiancée played by Lakshmi sets out to investigate along with some of his dutiful students. what went wrong! a rare intelligent black and white suspense movie...holding as tight right to the end with great cinematography and enthralling dialogs! this is definitely K.Balachander's master piece!

this is one of the Tamil movies which will appeal to international audience! Krishna(Kamalahassan) a widower,living happily with his two kids and his mother in a village near Srirangam! in a thrush of greed,brainwashed by an urban con man (v.M.C.Haneefa)he starts a financial company with his partnership, in the city Chennai. then the story shockingly reveals,how the city and its materialism ruins him and his family before his innocence comprehend its deceptive ways! Kamalahassan could challenge any actor in the world on any role! the scene when he finds his long lost daughter in a brothel in Calcutta, his emotional outburst, and the subsequent scene he trying to runaway carrying her in his arms through the mob of pimps,would substantiate that the statement made by me above is not an exaggeration! it may be a bit cinematic when he sets out for a revenge... and Yamuna(Suganya) may irritate you with a faulty Brahmin's dialect... apart from that its an excellent film utilizing fully the acting potentials of one of the world's best actor KAMALAHASSAN!
