Bhimsingh is one of the greatest legendary directors of Tamil cinema. Nobody handles human emotions as good as him. Padikatha Methai was one of the best films from the master storyteller. The performance by the entire cast was unforgettable, everyone manage to leave an impact. Sivaji Ganesan was remarkable. Ranga Rao was pretty good, but his performance was definitely not superior to Sivaji. Kannamba was great! She was a complete natural. I really loved her! E.V.Saroja was bubbly and adorable in the movie. She had two nice dances! She leaves a mark in intense scenes as well, especially in the scenes after her father Ranga Rao's demise, she takes up a job to support her helpless mother and is the only one who pours affection on her, all her brothers turn selfish. The movie falters towards the end though. The ending was really lame and not to mention it was unrealistic, I SO wanted sivaji to throw out the two sons of his uncle from the house. People like them totally do not deserve to be forgiven. [-2 for it] The music was by K.V.Mahadevan. Oore ooru urile, padithadinal arivu petror and Ullathai solven sonnathai seiven were memorable numbers from the movie. The movie had magnificent lyrics by Kannadasan AND Maruthakasi, each and every single song had in-depth meaning.

Bloody perfect film, with amazing performances from the entire cast…enough said! Both Sivaji Ganesan and Padmini excel in well-etched roles, they both were 'equally' top-notch, especially Padmini, she was incredible! To say her acting was great would be a freaking understatement. Its one of my all-time favorite performances of her EVER and needless to mention about her dances, they were fabulous as always.

To sum up it's a must watch for anyone who loves quality cinema – a great musical masterpiece. A splendid blend of music and dance, supported by percussion. Each and every single character manages to leave an impact in their respective parts. The casting was just perfect. 10/10

I thought Pyaar Kiye jaa was a pretty good comedy. But what annoys me is that it was a remake of a Tamil film named Kadhalikke Neramillai and I have seldom seen people giving credit to the original film. The original rocks, its by far one of the best evergreen comedies in Tamil. I would certainly recommend everyone to watch it. I have to say I did like the performances in the Hindi film though. I particularly enjoyed Kishore Kumar's performance, he really has a brilliant sense of comic timing. Shashi kapoor looked very cute(as usual) The scene where Mehmood attempts to narrate a horror story to Om prakash never fails to crack me up. But Nagesh and Balaiya's version was still a CLASSIC!

I have watched this movie quite a few times, but I think its one of the rare movies I tend to watch with equal enthusiasm every time. Although, it was a remake of a Tamil film "Adhutha Vittu Penn", I thought the Hindi version was EQUALLY amazing and not to mention immensely entertaining =) I thought performance-wise Kishore, STOLE THE SHOW! I cannot imagine the movie without him. The guy is incredible at comedy. Sunil Dutt was fabulous, I just adore him to bits, he is so underrated...he put in a stupendous performance! ROFL gotta love the scene where he attempts to learn music from Kishore...he had me in splits. As for Mehmood, he simply rocked. 'Daaaaaai' bhola . I liked his unique accent. haha. I think its imitated by plenty of actors till date and yes, its annoying to the core. Saira, well I usually find her very irritating in most of her films, I thought she was passable. The soundtrack was amazing. Ahhh...man I can just listen to them all day long. My personal favorites include kehna hai, mera samne wali ladki ne and main chali is one of best female duets sung by Asha and Lata. The movie is a must watch, it's a classic in every sense. Highly recommended! 9/10
