    Excellent Funny Movie

    All the three characters are very funny. For the first time I saw Major Sundarrajan in comedy role and his role was very funny. Enjoyable movie was from start to end.

    This is a quality movie even in standards of 2021 and available for free in Youtube.

    We are having worst films in our paid streaming services.

    A good but not great movie

    I just saw this movie a few nights ago. And this comment is a result of seeing movies over the last many years in both English and Tamil and comparing it with other movies of those times.

    The plus points of the movie is the storyline The movie was made with not so great talent maybe except for Nagesh and Balaiah. The Director fails to bring out the best in the actors and relies mostly on the story line, the screenplay is not up to the mark.

    It is a reasonably good entertainer with a moral (common requirement in the 60's).

    When you have no other tamil movie to watch and have an evening on hand and must watch something from the 60s, then maybe you could give this a try. However, remember that the comedy lines and screenplay in those days where different. Don't expect punchlines like you do nowadays and anything dramatic in terms of sound effects and visuals.

    Eternal Movie with a story line that will suitable for every generation

    Baama Vijayam Is a Must Watch Family Comedy drama movie from GOAT of Indian directors K. Bala chandar🐐 This movie is eaternal 💕 Because this movie is relatable with each and everyone who watches the film, Most of us buys a unwanted things in Installments to show off the people around us.

    This is the Baseline of the movie

    This movie deals with the ordinary middle class family with three daughter in law They are leading a peaceful life but that's happiness stays upto when the famous cine heroine Bama came as a neighbour of that family.

    Now The storm in the family had started They started to buy things on EMI & installment for feed their fake proudness But this turns them back to poverty.

    Now a letter cames to house which tells that one of their husbands had illegal affairs with actress Bama , Now the rest of story runs with how they find truth about their husbands and how they came back to their normal life.

    Overall A movie with no flaws

    Worthy for watching

    And makes you to laugh a loud.

    Highly recommended: Comedy Gem from K. Balachander

    One of South India's all time great film directors presents one of my all time favourite Tamil movies - Bama Vijayam. The theme is one of universal appeal- the effects of trying to keep up with the Joneses. The story revolves around an urban South Indian joint family composed of brothers, their wives and children and parent/s. It is the ideal household with every one getting along well with each other and living a simple but content life. All this turns topsy turvy when an affluent and glamorous movie actress moves in next door. The family tries to do everything possible, often going to ridiculous limits, to impress their new neighbour when she plans to pay them a neighbourly visit. Every activity seems to revolve around this much awaited visit and when the day arrives, the family is surprised by Bama's reaction. This is a movie that has at least a couple of great songs - the more famous one being Varavu Ettana Selavu Patthana- about the effects of over spending. The other hit song is Aani Muthu Vaangi Vandhen.
