Movie Info

This refreshing tale from K. Balachander focuses on the fairly realistic tale of a famous singer Bharathi and is extremely possessive about his wife named Gowri (Geetha). Tricked into marriage by his convincing mother-in-law, what really irks Bharathi is his wife's inability to deal with his rabid female fans. Tensions escalate until Bharathi flees from home and ends up encountering someone else named Jyothi (Sithara) who's also escaping from her life as a dancer because her husband made her dance forcefully and tried forcing her to be a prostitute. As a rabid fan who gets to marry the object of her desires, she is obviously afraid her husband will cheat on her with one of the thousands of women throwing themselves at him -- after all, he slept with them before their marriage. Rahman, who sounds suspiciously like 'Nizhagal' Ravi, also does well as the famous singer -- but a tiny quibble with the story: he goes to work in a restaurant in North India serving South Indian cuisine, and none of the customers recognize the famous singer. Then, he makes a living in Goa with Jyothi,and meet one Malayali couple what happens next forms the rest of the story.
