One more pioneering effort of the master Director Sridhar. The guy who wrote the dialogues for this movie is Chitralaya Gopu, school friend and later associate director and comedy track writer for Sridhar movies. Also director of another classic comedy in Tamil, namely, Kasedhan Kadavulada. One small pride for me when I speak about Chitralaya Mr. Gopu. I and Mr. Gopu's son were class mates in The Hindu Higher Secondary School, Triplicane. I still remember his innocuous but rip roaring comments during the time when I was watching the Victoria Cup matches in 1985 in their house in a packed hall that had 20 of us besides Mr. Gopu's family even at such early morning as 5.30 AM. Another cherished memory is India winning that cup and Ravi Shastri winning the Man of the Series Audi. Mr. Gopu's son and my classmate Mr. Sriram, is now Chitralaya Sriram and has taken to his father's footsteps having written three of the most successful comedy plays of recent times, namely, Kadhalikka Neram Hundu, Thanthramukhi and the super hit Swadeshi Iyer.

When we went to aaliyaar dam, still that house is being referred as kathalikka neramillai viswanathan velai vendum house ! That explains the popularity of the film & song that span generations ! Vadivelu is not that bad but currently he is getting bad ! He was bad when he paired up with kovai sarala ! Didnt u see winner ! One of my all time favs Yes a great movie !

great site
this movie is one of the best
why didn’t anyone (ok.. except1) talk about naalaam…. ?
that was my proposal song to my would- be wife!
we used to sing that endlessly (really) before and after the marriage.. we do that now, too!
abt remake… pleeeeeez… some one put some sense.. thiruvilayaadal (name wise) has been trashed; now this popular romance will become.. what… they can’t make it look like ANYTHING.. if u get what i mean. don’t touch this movie..
abt ‘A’ rating.. there were 2 areas.. during the song anubhavam and song kaadhalikka neramillai.. sridhar saw to it that the closeness / intimacy went as faar as possible; bordering on what was then ’sensuous’ - unlike the ‘a’ cert for vennira aadai- which was for what we could now call ‘ wardrobe malfunction’.. - more details only if needed to be posted here.. sridhar slicked a few frames here and there and repasted it to get the ‘a’ removed.
but, note that at the same time helen and company and their ‘counter’ parts in tamil were wearing as little as possible… it was acceptable that the vamp could do that; a heroine should not…
abt first day crowd.. thought of the story of sankarabharanam.. k viswanath was asked to take the movie away from the theatres (cinemas) on the 9th day of release.- they had already released it in just a few theatres in andhra so that crowds (!) could concentrate there and the theatres could run.- but the 3rd week saw the mild crowd and then.. the rest is history…

Your grandchildren might not find you to be from a smart generation :P Hari, Oh that must have been a nice experience. :) Exactly. Instead of working hard to sodhappify a classic, they might as well try to come up with their own script. Arun, Nagesh and Balaiah’s dialogue delivery for those scenes! Chancey illa! Btw, it was paDippu only. Sreekrishnan, I watch Vadivelu’s comedies only rarely. So no idea about manadhai thirudivittai. Anyway no one can bring that charm again. Sriram, Songs aren’t that bad that too when you compare it with the songs in the movies nowadays. >so its foolish to think we’re any smarter today based on this movie. I generally don't form any opinions based on movies. I can’t stand watching Vadivelu on screen. So I don’t care about whether he is good or not. Kaushik,
