Priya

Rajini at his peak, Sridevi in her sizzling prime, Ilayaraja on a wild trip, all in the backdrop of Singapore. Presto! You've got a film for all seasons in Priya. The highlight really is Ilayaraja's music, with six unforgettable melodies. Great fun, any time.

This movie was released in Tamil as "Priya" follows the life of a budding actress of the 70s in the Tamil film industry. After being bought out by an influential director, actress Priya faces harassment from her own Uncle who abuses her sexually. The director who spots Priya's talent in the pretext of helping her makes her agree to his contract. As per the contract it is stated that Priya had to work as the director's slave. When a young detective cum lawyer decides to help her, the director uses under-handed tactics to get Priya back into his custody. Later when Priya goes missing in Singapore, it is upto the lawyer and Priya's co-actor to rescue her from the kidnappers and escort Priya safely back to her country. A typical Rajinikanth-Sridevi movie of the late 70s. Overall six out of ten.
