+An attempt at a Hollywood-type dance movie
+(mediated by the B. Subhash style, cf. Dance
+Dance, 1987) interspersed with more
+conventional melodrama. The villain
+J.K. (Devaraj) kills the popular leader of a
+music band (Srinath) and tries to rape the
+band-leader’s wife. The film shifts into a
+second generation as the band-leader’s widow
+brings up her son Raja (Vinodraj) and a music
+manager (Sundarraj) makes him into a rock
+star. The villain’s daughter (Divya) is the film’s
+female lead, while Uncle Andrew, a former
+drummer and now a legless beggar, seeks
+revenge against J.K. Among the film’s
+highlights is Raja being forced to dance on
+broken glass to save his mother’s life, a distant
+echo of Pakeezah (1971). Others include
+Raja’s somewhat inept breakdance numbers.
