Apoorva Sagodharargal

The movie was excellent. As usual Kamal Hassan superb acting. Everybody acted very well in the movie. Songs and BGM in the movie were also fantastic. The movie was not at all boring.

A different entertainer from the haasan stable. Everyone thinks that the dwarf character was introduced by kamal in this film, but he truth is he had appeared as a dwarf in a scene in the KB starrer "Punnagai Mannan" released a few months earlier.

The cast was an unusual one with Nagesh playing a villain (Probably for the 1st time in his career). Dialogues by Crazy & lyrics & music were a BIG PLUS for the film.

Uptil the release of this film, kamal had a string of flops & his career was sliding, but he took a huge risk in producing a film of his kind.

Initially, the script of the film was different & even a few scenes were shot but later, it was modified to give more weightage to the dwarf character.

It ran houseful for 100 days (all shows) in Devi Paradise theatre in chennai.

It is from this film onwards that Kamal started experimenting with challenging roles.

For starters the hype was always there when Kamal makes a new movie and one where one of the lead actor is dwarf tops it. When it got released it was a trend setter for how movies should be made by actors who know how to relive a role. Well the whole plot and story might be a fiction but Kamal's acting as a serious dwarf working in a circus and happy go lucky automobile mechanic is pretty brilliant. Was one of the best movies in my list for close to year or more. Music which could be catchy even today. Had the VHS tape for a long time before lost it completely would love to have it on a DVD for a collectors copy. Not seen many Indian movies for some time now but if there is any movie with little bit of Kamal in it you can bet your bottom dollar I would give it a try. 10/10 for just the inventive plot and keeping the secret of creating the DWARF till date.

I don't remember watching it when I was young, but having watched it recently I probably can't describe in mere words how much I enjoyed it.

I am a great Kamal Fan. And every time he cries on screen he sure brings a drop from my eyes too. Especially in Apoorva Sahodarargal as Appu. The pain he suffers being a dwarf was touching. Especially in the Register office scene where he gets to know he isn't the bridegroom. He made the anguish look so real. This movie is still a mystery since know one knows how Kamal remained short and bent his knees ! The songs and Music are a sensation. Illayaraj is a pure genius.

Monorama's "Aiyo Aiyayoooo..." is hilarious. The dialogues from Crazy Mohan were as Crazy as ever.

Janakaraj and R.S. Sivaji combo is still remembered with the latter's lavish praise on the former. Nagesh deserves a note worthy mention.

Its a classic entertaining Kamal movie fare from the stables of Raj Kamal Internationals.

I can still remember I watched on tv when I was 5years old something .. That time I am so into rajini sir film bcz every children fan of him(still we are fan) .. But kamal movies all was matured content, childrens can't understand... But this movie was my favourites,you know he was acted as small man ..tricky with funny murder scene made us so much joy even that time .. I really hope every tamil peoples need to watch this ...
