As far as tamil cinema is concerned, the commercial films like Ghilli, thirupachi and some other ajith films and a rajini film called Chandramuki was released at that time of it's release. Still Parthiban's passionate about new way of film making had never ended. On the time of release, I watched this movie in KTV when my age was 9. I finished watching with an inexpiable way, especially the climax when everything had come under a twist. It was all about perspective. I really liked the film's ending. I always wonder how Parthiban could come up with such path breaking scripts. This should be on the list of under rated gems of Tamil cinema, if not, should be on the nominees at least. Give it a try. I am sure, if it was made with the proper lighting, cinematography, realistic dialogues it would have been celebrated even now.
