One of the best KB work, Sujatha outshines everyone

RATED 8/10 Language: Tamil Source: Satellite Tv RECOMMENDED

One of the best drama from KB. Rajni dominated everyone and shines very well as villain. Sujatha and Leelavathi are the best characters in the movie. The movie goes without any dull moment and full of sharp dialogs.

Must watch.

Ahead of times script

2020 - I justed watched this movie. What a movie 👌👌🙏🙏 KB was far ahead of times. Every one did brilliant acting. Kamal has the same maturity in acting even then. He is always unbelievable 🙏🙏

So-so

This film had the reputation of being a radical look at the life of a woman, and I reckon it still enjoys relevance, if not in whole. But K Balachander's approach spoils the party, and what could have been a powerful story of a single mother turns into melodramatic bull. Sujata plays the title role well, but I personally can't stand her. Rajini is terrific and Kamal comes up with a gem of a performance. Watch it to get an idea of the kind of cinema that was lauded as radical in the 70s.

Avargal is awesome

Avargal is movie about a lady trying to fight her way to life. Married to egoist in a male dominated society makes married life for Anu a living hell. She tries to live single mothers life working fighting for her rights. She leaves Bombay to start fresh life in Madras, only to find out her ex-husband is the new boss. She fights her way out of obstacles created by her new boss. Kamal is good, Rajnikanth excels , probably one of few movies you will see Rajnikanth act his heart out , Sujatha is awesome, overall a good movie. Appreciate Balachander's thinking for women. The thought is well advanced for a movie well made in 70's. Excellent Music, well acted cast, Good screen play.
