K.Bhagyaraj worked with Bharathiraaja on this film, which featured new cast Sudhakar and M.R., one of the best Retro Romantic movies of all time. Raadhika as a protagonist. Exactly on this day, 44 years ago, the Film Industry got one of the epic actresses, Radhika footed in this film. Not only that, the great comedian Janagaraj made his debut here.
The incredible comedian Goundamani played a negative type of comedian and I must there is no word to explain his acting. Even in this age of instagram, the lyrics written by the great gods of lyrics are still fresh to listen to.
S.Janaki, Jayachandran, and Malaysia Vasudevan brought the amazing words of the kannadhasan, Gangai Amaran, and Muthuligam to life with their incredible voices. The movie did not mix any words together. With that its reach, this film was remade in Telugu and Hindi as “Rails Velle Rails” (1979) and ‘Saveray wail Gaadi (1986)”.
Even then this movie has been a hit and Bharathiraja got the National Award-winning rural drama, eventually, it draw the criticism that Bharathiraja was capable of serving only village audiences but he proved wrong with his next urban modern psychotic romantic thriller “Sigappu Rojakkal”.
This spirit of him makes his thirst to explore new genres of movies. not only does the movie get a blockbuster but also the songs get famous among people because of the great music director Ilaiyaraaja’s music which makes the audience, feel the movie’s language. What should I write about Ilayaraaja’s music? It’s a treasure which we could only feel it.
Even 44 years after its release, Bharathiraja’s third movie, which runs for two hours and forty minutes, has more to offer than meets the eye and is fascinating to watch, even today.
This movie is not just a love of Paranjothi (Sudhakar), a low-cost poet and Panchali (Raadhika), an innocent village girl, where the story begins in the village alongside an eastern railway track. It is a movie about superstitious beliefs and Orthodox minds. This movie is for a break from the stereo conversation though of people.
