This is a beautiful movie coming from the veteran director Sridhar. The movie was a commercial success in the late 70s. This movie is one of those multi-starrers that pairs both Kamal and Rajni both of them superstars in Tamil films . Such multi starrers starring both Rajni and Kamal stopped coming in the mid eighties. The storyline is a typical bollywood style masala. Acting by both Kamal and Rajni is excellent. A portent of their future fame. A few last minute climax scenes and a forced happy ending is quite typical of a commercial formula movie of those days. Sripriya , Jayachitra have all turned in very good performances. The music is one of the main attractions of this movie. Ilayaraja has given a score that is exceptional in my opinion. The background score perfectly suits the mood of the film. Especially the song "Thanni Karuthirukku" is a stand out.
The movie got 8 stars because of it's predictable storyline, hackneyed ending, unnatural coincidences and not so deep characters. But again without these ingredients the film wont be a box office hit.
The movie is a dated classic. A tremendous nostalgic value. You spontaneously burst out with this question " Where are those days gone ? "
