Sargam

This is a Malayalam film starring Vineeth and Rambha.

A timeless and memorable film due to its music which was based on Carnatic. The story is also excellent which led the film to be remade in multiple South Indian languages. The film is a love story of a young couple who are separated by the mother of the boy's friend to whom the young boy is indebted to. What happens next, the toll it takes in everyone's lives and how in the end things take a turn for the better is the plot of the film. The ending fills everyone's eyes and Rambha won awards for this debut of hers while she was still in high school. It's sad that she wasted her talent later to glamour roles to be only remembered today for her item songs. Vineeth, Manoj K Jayan are also excellent. This is the film where Urmila - while much younger - excelled in mother roles and got typecast in it.

Watch it for Hariharan's direction, Yesudas and Chithra's voice and Bombay Ravi's music!
