+Rathnam’s art-house melodrama just prior to
+his big-budget breakthrough hit Nayakan
+(1987). Divya (Revathi) is unable to resign
+herself to a forced marriage living in Delhi with
+Chandra Kumar (Mohan). She recalls, in
+flashback, her carefree days with her first
+boyfriend, the gansgter Manmohan (Karthik),
+who was shot dead in front of a temple even as
+she waited inside to marry him. She seeks a
+divorce, but as the law requires the couple to
+stay together for a year, they decide to live
+separately in the same house. After she has
+nursed her husband back to health following a
+murderous attack by an employee, the couple
+decide to stay together. The film inaugurates
+the Tamil love story genre set outside the state,
+associated with the director (cf. Roja, 1992),
+also featuring camerawork typically associated
+with Rathnam and Sriram: frontal and profile
+close-ups, set against long shots with fuzzy
+foreground. Not to be confused with Ambili’s
+Malayalam Mouna Ragam (1983).
