Apoorva Sagodharargal

If you take a rant of the best actors in Indian cinema( all time ) Kamal haasan would be atleast in the top 5! I don't think I'll finish describing about the God-level of acting( Please watch a few scenes from the film to understand what I'm talking about), beautifully coherent screenplay, witty dialogues (I love the wordplay in movies which has crazy mohan as the writer), heart throbbing music by Ilayaraja and to sum it all, Singeetham srinivas rao's direction! I would describe bout these for years on end. But you ain't got time. So go and watch the film please!

I saw this film first when I was a kid, Recently I saw it again, I had thought that it wont live up to the expectations from when i last saw it. i was wrong, the film is still top notch, the music is great, the editing is spot on, the songs hummable, and the action funny yet believable. Everything in this film is done properly, unlike some of the other films of that era, you feel the pain of appu, it was just great, not to mention it reminded me of my childhood! Most such films use little or no intelligence, surprisingly this film is very clever, the theme of revenge is central to the plot, but the comedy elements are present and fun to laugh at without becoming toilet humor. See this movie if you liked it initially, because it is still as good as it was back then!

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.

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.
