Happened to see this in lockdown may 2020! One word- mind-blowing! The film looks relevant even after 33 years of making, it can well be remade today! In fact, the current social fabric is more resistant to receive films of such caliber, content, critic and class - sadly makes me wonder whether freedom of speech and expression has degraded in a democratic polity! The screenplay has no lag wherein u never need to switch to 'old movies' mode - seamless execution of the plot! One of the best Tamil movies ever made! Aww not to miss 'kannukul nooru nilavu' song that is looping in my head :)
