Sivaji ganesan plays double role in the movie. He exhibits the difference between the two roles in the first scene itself when the elder one takes on drinks, smokes pipe, plays golf and the younger one dutifully shown as religious one. If one just close his eyes and hears the dialogue, he will think two persons are playing the roles - such is the variance in dialogue delivery and voice. The mock court proceedings in the residence was superbly enacted with some humour by Nagesh and Mahendran. The mono acting by Sivaji ganesan at the last scene before coming to know about the judgement is simply superb. Also, his style of interrogation in the second murder charge with the witnesses was also wonderful. Also his lip movements to the songs and the dance movements in one of the songs (Athisaya ulagam) was superb. I read somewhere, that MSV sang the song (Palooti valarha kili) since TMS was away on a tour and the shooting was completed and later TMS completed. A portrayal of an Attorney having full confidence in his tongue power and display of two characteristics one humbleness and obedience and other confidence, style. Well supported by Nagesh, Mahendran, Pandaribai and Sundarrajan.
