Vetri Vizha

This movie may have inspired the super hit malayalam movie- mumbai police and the blockbuster telugu movie evadu.

The simple one liner is- a man loses his memories and he goes on a journey to find out who he was and ends up finding his dark past.

This movie deserves a 10 star but the screenplay was not interesting at some places. I feel some fight scenes, songs and love portions were deliberately added because that was the thumb rule of vintage Tamil movies.

These slow down the movie's pace and might make you bored sometimes. So you have to skip those scenes!

If this movie was released today, with only on the main plot, I am sure there will be a 'vetrivizha' celebration.

This movie is an adaption of the novel "Bourne Identity". The film was produced by Sivaji prodcutions. It was launched with Prabhu as hero & kamal in a guest role. But kamal changed the script & Prabhu was redued to a minor role.

The movie has nothing to rave about. Salim ghouse makes an impression. Kamal seems disinterested & prabhu is wasted. Khushbu & sasikala, as heroines have nothing much to do.

The movie was dragged to 100 days in chennai & had an average run in the box office.

Another Kamal movie that these boomer 70s and 80s forgot to celebrate.

Loosely based on Bourne identity by robert ludlum released in 1980. Hollywood took 22 years to make this movie. But Kamal made it in 1989 itself. Way ahead of its time. It's difficult for people to understand this film as I said they're 70s 80s boomers who want 5 songs, 5 fights, comedy track, rajini style, mass scene, item song.

Prabhu kushboo scenes are useless and not needed in the movie. That's why it's not getting a clean 10/10. Rajani Parveen stole the screen with full beauty. Salim ghouse as usual gave his best villainism.
