NIRAM MAARADHA POOKAL - CLIMAX

video


Vijayan has told Radhika the truth and paired her up with Sudhakar and has arranged for them to elope. His own wedding with Radhika ends up in chaos with neither groom nor bride being there. He comes to the lake where his love died, and he chances upon some kids who had fooled him and Rathi the previous year. Haunted by terrible memories, he decides to take the drastic step.

Vijayan also meets the same fate - getting drowned, in the Udhiripookal climax also.

NIRAM MARADHA POOKAL - RATHI CRIES - "HORSE..HORSE"

video

Niram Maradha pookal was a slow drama made by Bharathiraja. The 4 main characters in the movie had their own names , as the characters in the movie - Sudhakar, Radhika, Vijayan and Rathi.

Radhika is heartbroken when her lover Sudhakar betrays her by running away with the office money ( he works in her company) and her father tries to tie her up with his friend's son - Vijayan. Vijayan is nursing a heart-break , after the death of his lover Rathi. (Raja uses the "Aayiram Malargale" instrumental at many scenes involved with Vijayan-Rathi). Soon, Radhika and Vijayan are ready to get married to each other because both of them have sympathy for the other, because of their failed love lives.

What happened later forms the crux of the story.


The Scene: Rathi cries - "horse..horse". She fools him in another scene, where she pretends that she doesn't know how to drive a car. It is this nature that leads to her eventual downfall, where she ends up drowning in the presence of her lover Vijayan. It is an april fool's day and Vijayan doesnt believe her, until she drowns.

[ The climax in which Vijayan commits suicide at the very same lake, where Rathi drowned has some amazing BGM score, but i am unable to rip it from this source. If some one could give me this scene, it would be good. ]

P.S: I strongly suggest that people should watch this movie atleast to hear BharathiRaja's english. He has lent his voice to Vijayan and with his ghaneer kural, at times, he does tickle your ribs.

POOVIZHI VAASALILE - COMMUNICATING WITH A SPECIAL KID

video

The little boy is deaf and dumb. So, sathyaraj teaches him some basic things like walking and running, so that it would be easier to interact with the boy. A nice scene this is , especially when the kid mechanically follows him into putting the cigarette in his mouth :) . Awesome direction by fazil, to get so much out of the little boy.

Somehow, whenever i hear Poovizhi vaasalile, i find it very easy to think of En BommuKutti ammavukku also. Both these movies starred Sathyaraj, were directed by Fazil and had little children who would grow up to be known celebrities. The little boy in this movie is actually a girl, who now acts in mega serials - Sujitha.

EN BOMMU KUTTI AMMAVUKKU - BOMMUKUTTI AMMA COMES HOME

video


Suhasini and Sathyaraj go to an orphanage to adopt a daughter. Unable to digest the fact , that another girl(Teenu) is to replace her own daughter, she leaves the place. Feeling sorry for her actions and to fill the void in her own life, she comes back to take her bommukutti amma - home. The BGM theme is used in a happier tone here.

The music is played mainly by interleaving the BGM theme, along with some bubbly music from a flute that makes you feel so joyous, complementing the happy union in the movie.

The girl in the clip is Geethu Mohandas - actress who acted along with Madhavan.
