+The former bureaucrat Rajasekharan’s debut
+feature is an Ilaiyaraja-derived pop phantasy
+about India’s classical heritage. The genre
+usually features tragedies of unrequited love
+and how women are crucial to the creative
+muse of infantile geniuses. The film is set in the
+1950s in feudal Tanjore. Babu, ten years
+younger than the unmarriageable Yamuna, is
+seduced by his voluptuous neighbour
+Thankamma, but he rejects her subsequent
+advances, causing her to commit suicide. This
+then enables Babu to find his true vocation as a
+musician under the tutelage of master
+Ranganna (Venu), as well as his true love and
+muse, Yamuna. The music, aesthetically
+resistant to the commercialism which besets the
+film, is emplotted into the crisis when Babu is
+forced to ‘sell’ it in order to raise money for his
+dying teacher. His failure in maintaining his
+incorruptibility forces him onto the streets of
+Madras, whence he is rescued by Yamuna who
+reinflates his musical genius.
