5 Forgotten Tamil movies (70's 80's 90's) to watch during this lock down available in Youtube


There used to be days when I used to watch a movie twice, thrice or even five times in a theatre. Every one growing up watching Rajini, Kamal would definitely agree; Aboorva sagotharargal, Batsha, Kadhalukku mariyathai or many to name it. 
It may be completely not possible today with the schedule and the amount of new content which streams before you. Some movies bring nostalgic moments when they are telecasted today. For example, I usually have it with Bombay, I remember watching it atleast 30-40 times in theatres in and around Tirunelveli.
I have rehashed some of Tamil movies which is available in Youtube today which you should watch it again. These were some of the movies which gave huge inspirations to film makers, script writers or be it any one loves cinema like me. Test it , first 15 minutes of any these movies and I bet you will sure complete the whole movie. There were movies which defined the audience and also there are why Tamil cinema stands out even today.

Unnal Mudiyum thambi

There was this Vintage Kamal Hassan, every one used to love him for his roles. This movie is worth every second for it beautiful making and the Vintage Kamalhassan as Udhayamurthi. The colloborative effort of KB, Kamal and Ilayaraja is at its best display in this cult classic. I would rate this as his one of the best of all time just because for his charisma and his character. I remember Udhayamoorthi, LK Malam and Bilahari is such a revelation of character those days. KB conveyed multiple things through the names and also through the names, as usual this movie ahead of its time in a huge manner. I still long for the locals and camera shots of " Punjai Undu ". Lots to speak about this movie. 
Udhayamoorthi was inspired by M.S Udhayamurthi 
LK Malam as the daughter of Dalit advocate (There is a hidden meaning)
Bilahari marthandam Pillai as the haughty orthodox musician.

Muraimaman

This may be a surprise element for many, but Murai maman was Goundamani , Jeyaram at their best. Sundar.C debuted with this movie (1995) and he had to trust on Goundamani, Manorama,Kushboo for the commercial aspect, But Jayaram stole the show dominating the three big stars. The movie was written for Sarathkumar, but Jayaram ended up. If you recollect " Janakiraman" directed by Sundar C also had the same back drop with Goundamani, Manorama but with Sarathkumar. Muraimanan is a perfect matinee show 


Kadhalmannan

Why Kadhalmannan ? Just for MSV and Vivek's combination. First forty five minutes in Kannadasan mess and the character of Vivek is a riot for this fast paced commercial movie. Honestly I would watch them again any day, I never liked Saran after he lost Vivek in his movie. His humor sucked in any of his later day movies.  Again Saran debuted with " Kadhal Mannan" in 1998


Sathya

This is the rebel element of 80's Tamil cinema, If Kamal would have acted this in 2000's, it would have been a run away hit. This was his till date best movie by debutant Suresh Krishna and one of the best political movie in Indian cinema. In popular culture Kamal's character is regarded  to be an extension of Varumayin niram sigappu (Vasu), the macho look of Kamal is revived to be a cult even today. If I could rate the best macho look in Tamil cinema which describes the angry young man,  I would rate Sathyamoorthy as cut above the class any day.  Ilayaraja gave one of his best work and movie's BGM is hailed to be one of his best re-recording till date. Watch it for Kamal and I never found that Suresh Krishna again 



Azhiyatha kolangal

Can you believe Azhiyatha Kolangal was made and released in 1979. This would be the "Malena" of 70's , If there was a taboo about Sex and adolescence in Tamil cinema during 70's , this movie just broke every bit of it and beautifully portrayed the coming of age through three teenagers through the legendary Balu Mahendra's lens. This movie had Kamal in a guest role, but this has the most beautiful lady star " Shoba" in a very very desirable role. One of the rare movie where there is no Ilayaraja' in Balu Mahendra’s visuals but Legendary  Salil Chaudry's music spreads all over and Balumahendra angles makes this an intriguing watch even today. 
This movie is a regular during Doordarshan days, and we were restricted to watch due to Vennidai adai moorthy and the village lady's steamy scenes and its a bold scene even today.

Anantha Thandavam -The original Pirivom Sandhippom

Below is the write up about a movie which I expect so much for this year.The story has been my personal favorite and is based on one of the best Tamil novel which I have read so far.I happened to read the novel Pirivom Santhippom during my college days ,which made me to think aloud about love.Written by Sujatha the story was initially published in Anantha Vikatan in early 80’s.The story of Pirivom Santhippom is of two series first in Tirunelveli second part in America.After eight years I am able to recall each and every characters of the work.This has nothing to do with my memory but with the beauty of the book.The main characters are “Ragupathi and Madumitha “.After reading the book I felt there can not be a sweeter name than Madumitha .Even the name of the particular character while reading the novel will make you feel for Ragupathy. Ragupathy meets his Ex lover in USA during his stay for his higher studies.Ragupathy avoids her but Madumitha married to a NRI Radhakrishnan @Rad moves ...

Mirugam (2007)

Mirugam was a much speculated and much criticised movie before its release for various reasons other than the main movie and I took the option to choose though I didn ’t have any interest to watch this particular movie .There are two things which should be mentioned about the movie first you can not avoid comparing this with Paruthiveeran and director Sami has tried to rework getting inspired by Cult classic Paruthiveeran .Secondly I can not understand will there be any human like Ayyanar in our day to day society.Why was this movie made?It self is a big confusion.Is it for awareness or for narrating a story of a beast?.If its awareness we should be very sorry for the director ,I think the world has moved a long way from 1987 to 2007 with regard to awareness of AIDS. Mirugam is a story about Ayyanar (New Comer Aadi )who lived notoriouslyas a protagonist during Late 80’s according to the film.He lives a life of a sandiyar who pounds his mother abuses every body and lives a life ...

Marudhamalai (2007)

Image
Every time when I watch and enjoy a movie with usual formula of Romance ,Comedy,Macho Villain, ferocious Chases ,Challenges I always get reminded that I am a Tamil movie fan above any thing. Maruthamalai reminded me of the same.Its a same nonsense formula with Cop Hero challenging a Villain who rules a town unofficially not allowing the Government to conduct elections for Sixteen years.How illogical and attrocious! Movie stars Arjun , Vadivel , Lal , Nasaer , Nila but its undoubtedly Vadivel who steals the show.Like in Winner , Thalai Nagaram , Vadivel had given a splendid performance which made me spell bound with his body language and expressions.I could clearly say one more hit because of Vadivel ’s Comedy sequence.He is Ettu Egambaram A.K.A Encounter Egambaram (Like Vetayadu Velayadu DCP Raghavan ) in Marudhamalai and the screen explodes from the moment he appears.From the fifth minute to nearly on hour it’s a complete comedy feast for viewers. Arjun and Vadivel com...
