Varumayin Niram Sigappu

In Tamil 'Varumaiyin Niram Sivappu' means - The colour of poverty is red. The movie is based on the unemployment situation in India. This is the problem everyone is facing mostly nowadays (21st Century). There are some scenes presented in a very comedic way but you'll realise how serious the problem is.

Everyone has seen Sadma, so we all know how beautiful it is to watch both Kamal Haasan & Sridevi in a single frame. Music of M. S. Viswanathan is soothing to the soul. The complete unemployment situation was perfectly portrayed in the 1st song of the movie. In the song Sippi Irukkuthu, Sridevi composing the music & Kamal making the lyrics is the Most Beautiful Sequence of the movie. The film won Best Film, Best Director & Best Actor for Haasan in Filmfare Awards South.

It's Available on Amazon Prime Video & Youtube (Rajshri Tamil), With English Subtitle.

Art movies usually follow naturalistic style. This, my favorite of all KB movies, is a rare combination of romanticism in art movie. This is not an art movie per se, but one of the closest attempts from KB. (next to 'Oru veedu iru vaasal').

The story is about an uncompromising young man's struggle of finding a honest job in the hypocritical world. The lead roles are played by Kamal and Sridevi, probably the best ever Tamil movie couples known for acting talent. This movie is an example of an artistic serious movie that is interesting, moving, ironical and funny at the same time.

There is a scene involving an empty kitchen set. This is one such scene where you have to laugh at the joke, in order to keep yourself from crying.

One of the best films in indian film industry. K.Balachander's best film. One of the Kamal and sridevi best movies.Kannadasan wrote the lyrics. M.S.Vishwanathan scored music well

A lot of people thought this movie was highly exaggerated, but I think it was a pretty accurate reflection of what idealistic young men go through in India. Kamal is in his element, as is Sridevi. In fact, everyone does a good job. Plenty of melodrama and cliches, but the movie ends on the right note. Thengai Sreenivasan appears for a few incredibly funny minutes, proving that there are no small roles -- only small actors. MSV and Kannadasan, not to mention Bharathiyar, make for an everlasting classic soundtrack. Worth a watch.

Excellent Movie. Everybody acted very well in the movie. Songs and BGM in the movie were good. The movie was so interesting. The movie was not at all boring. This is one of the Best Movie of Kamal Haasana and K. Balachander. Excellent Movie.
