"Kadhalukagavum saga kudathu,kadhalikamalum saga kudathu".

Re-watching this masterpiece after many years feels Nostalgic and heartbreaking at the same time. This is the journey of a ship mechanic Maruthu who fells in love with a young girl Nancy who runs a hotel in sea-shore. Path changes when she fells in love with the Ship Captain. The longing-ness for love,pain and sacrifice expressed through the 'Maruthu' character makes heart heavy performed by the Phenomenal actor 'Shyam'. The immature,stubborn and the Confusion expressed through Nancy 'Radhika' is realistic and strong. It's that well-written including the other memorable characters like Captain played by 'Arun Vijay',Church father played by 'Pasupathi and Maruthu's friend played by 'Karunas'. This film is definitely ahead of its time like many won't risk this much effort in production(more scenes happening in ships)for a love-tale in the early 2000's,late legendary director S. P. Jananathan did that with ease. The dialogues and songs especially 'kadhal vanthal solli anupu' is relatable even now. This is One Classic film that I'll never forget and will always be my favourite musical romantic-drama from tamil industry.

Guys,I saw this movie on the TV and found to be an unusual Tamil movie.It had Good story line and all the characters have played their part well.I feel we don't get such movies with solid story line in most Tamil movies.There is a Situation song Kadhal Vandhal which I thought had master Picturisation.But I found that this movie didn't do well at box office.Its a pity.Its a movie that can run more than 100 days then other commercial movies.The climax I thought was not the usual that one would expect to happen.However,it does matches with story well.An ideal climax.Overall I would rate this movie great and I would put it in the list of my Favorite films.

My one and only top favourite movie in Tamil cinema my motivational movie when I was studying school days, so this movie is always special to me specially S P Jananathan Sir.. I miss you so much.

One of the best Movie in Tamil I have ever seen. The actors have played their best in this movie. Songs are the highlights for this movie. Really a good effort made by the director. I would say that this is the movie in which both the actors Shaam and Arun has played their best..I loved the song 'Kaadhal Vandhaal Solli Anuppu..'. Really a good movie worth watching with the family. The heroine 'Radhika' has done a great job in this movie. The first time when i saw the movie i thought OK this is another story of a sailor.. but it was something else which i didn't expect.. The climax of the movie may be unacceptable for some people but i liked that climax very much.. 'A Perfect title for a Perfect Movie' (Iyarkai-Nature).

This is national award movie it was amazing to learn about the nature and it resultions. Shyam was a stunner and Radhika was amazingly great.
