The specialty of this movie is "This movie is SUPER STAR RAJINIKANTH's First Movie in TAMIL". Songs by Kanadhasan. Enjoy my review on "Tamil Classic Movie Collection" Aboorva Ragangal.
STORY:
Any K.Balachander movie revolves around Character's inside a room with not much of Helicopter fight or Gun Shooting or villain chase etc etc. In this movie its "SREE VIDHYA" so called as Bhairavi who is a singer and "MAJOR" Sunder Rajan. Sree Vidhya who is searching for some peace and happiness in her life and so is Major Sunderajan who is very much worried about his Son "KAMAL" who gets involved in unnecessary things and gets into trouble. Half hour of the movie runs like this showing family problems in 1970 style, quarrel between Kamal and his Dad etc. Kamal who cant take any more Rupture from his dad fights with him and leaves home and starts his own life !
Sree Vidhya happen to meet Kamal one day in streets as he was slapped by a group of unknown people. She helps Kamal in getting recovered from the accident he had and Slowly Kamal gets attracted towards Sree Vidya seeing the affection and Love and decides to stay in her house as a Paying guest. The relationship between both of them can only be understood by people like K.B, Visu or Cho and its above average people Standards. Similarly "MAJOR" Sunder Rajan meets JAYA SUDHA who gives moral support to Major asking about his Private life and giving him words of Love. MAJOR who thinks JAYA SUDHA as her daughter requests her to stay in his house as his Son Kamal leaves him. JAYA agrees to stay in MAJOR's house seeing the LOVE and AFFECTION he showed on various occasion thinking that he is a Gentle Man.
The movie runs for a while showing the day to day interaction between the two FRIENDLY COUPLES (Kamal and Sree Vidhya) and (Major Sunder Rajan and Jaya Sudha). Their interaction turns into love as all the four are basically searching for Some kind of LOVE from someone. One fine day Kamal Proposes Sree Vidhya who is like his mom and says that he loves her and Jayasudha proposes Major Sunder Rajan who is like her dad. Its some thing like the recent Oscar movie "The American Beauty" where Kevin Spacey proposes his daughters Friend. Both Kamal and Jaya Sudha gets slaps from Sree Vidhya and Major. Kamal decides to get out of Sree Vidhya's house. Sree Vidhya says the truth that she has a "DAUGHTER AT HIS AGE"!!! Meanwhile "SUPER STAR" gets introduced as "X-LOVER" of SREE VIDHYA. Thalivar will come with a JIBBA with is DADI and opens a Old Gate.
"Rajini Not only just opens the door in his first best movie appearance but also opened the opportunities and hearts of Tamil people & enters innnnnnnn........ with 1000 Madras Wistle" in his first movie.
Then comes KB's climax. Sree Vidhya's Daughter is JAYA SUDHA who is Dating KAMAL's Father. Man its a confusion. Where in the world this can happen. Daughter being Mother In Law for Mom and Son being Father In Law for Father. Where in the world this can happen. At last every one feels for the mistake they have did in the past. KB Says Relations are made and are not given. A Touch of class acting by all of them and the movie gets over as JayaSudha and Sree Joins and Kamal and Major Joins together.
K. BALACHANDER:
The real hero of the movie is K.BALACHANDER. I think he is the director of last century. He is the person who started to take family movies which attracted thousands of tamil cinema fans. His movies will be within four walls and will have real cream content. Each and every character in his movies speaks. The combination of Rajini, Kamal and K.B worked out fine in many movies. One good example is K.B's "BUVANA ORU KELVI KURI" with Rajini. Another Movie which I really liked in K.B's collection was "UNNAL MUDIYUM THAMBI" with Kamal. It was an excellent movie which didnt get proper recognition from the public. Of course "SINDHU BHAIRAVI". K.B went to peak with his SINDHU BHAIRAVI which fetched him lots and lots of awards. One must see SUHASINI, SHIVA KUMAR and K.B Combination in that movie. I need to write about that movie ASAP. His other hits includes "AVARGAL" with Kamal, "Moonru Muduchi" with Kamal, "Varumai Niram Sivapu" with Kamal and Sree Devi, "Punagai Mannan" with Kamal. Later K.B started to concentrate on T.V serials. K.BALACHANDER is a legend of Tamil cinema. There is no doubt in it.
KAMAL, RAJINI and SREE VIDHYA:
KAMAL was excellent in his acting. But his hair style was irritating. His Hair Style looked like a "SAPI POTA PANAG KOTTAI". Another specialty of this movie is this movie was SUPER STAR's first TAMIL MOVIE. He opens a Iron gate in his first introduction scene. RAJINI I am a great fan of you and i must say "You Opened our Heart and No one is there to Shut it down Other than you". Thanks K.B for giving us SUPER STAR of Tamil Nadu to us !!! Great Introduction. How about the Female artist SREE VIDHYA and JAYASUDHA, Both of them looks like "MALGOVA MAMBAZAM". Excellent figures We wish this combination (RAJINI, KAMAL, K.B) will give us many more hits in the future.
COMMENTS:
Tamil film industry has never been out of talents. Right from N.S. KRISHNAN, SHIVAJI GANESAN, Till today's KAMAL, Yesterdays SRIDHAR, K. BALACHANDER till today's MANI RATHNAM, Yesterdays M.S. Viswanathan, ILAYARAJA till today's A.R. REHMAN ... we can say thousands of names. I would say K.BALACHANDER had his own style in making movies and even today he is successful in what ever he does. He is like god father of Tamil movie lovers. Not only in directing movies but also in "DRAMA Field". He is the "GURU" of our SUPER STAR "RAJINI GANTH". I think he has done everything in the field of Movies!
A person who is able to analyze a Problem and who is able to solve it or give a right solution always wins, Its not only true in Movie industry its the same fact even in writing software's for customers. I always believe in the above Sentence. That might be one of the reason for me being a successful Programmer in USA for years. K.B follows the same strategy Rather I follow K.B's strategy. "ABOORVA RAGANGAL" is one such movie which revolves around Problems in our life although the problem seems to be really complicated like "INTEGRATION" in Maths. A movie about People who long for Love. When some one is able to give it people are ready to accept it without thinking about anything and they are put into an Odd Situation. Result is a big Zero. K.BALACHANDER Climax is always the best and he clearly shows that its not going to work when things are too complicated. "ABOORVA RAGANGAL" is a CLASSIC MOVIE and we grades the movie to be 90/100 for its extraordinary story line and direction and acting by the stars.
