Trivia
Things worth knowing
- 164 years old — a genuine piece of film history.
- 2Lean credit list — fewer than 30 people officially credited.
- 3Directed by P. Neelakantan, shot by G. Durai. Note their partnership — DPs and directors often return to each other across a career.
- 4Original score by T. R. Pappa. Worth a dedicated listen after — most great films lose half their impact without the score.
- 5Editor R. Devarajan shaped the rhythm. On an edit-heavy film, the editor does more to control your pulse than the director.
- 6S. S. Rajendran and M. R. Radha and R. Muthuraman carry the top of the cast.
- 7IMDB entry: tt0248003 — still the authoritative cross-reference for credits and trivia.
- 8Only 1 TMDB ratings — you're getting ahead of the curve on this one.
