+1995’s surprise hit in Tamil was a low-budget
+ruralist ‘folk’ movie extensively featuring
+traditional narrative and performative forms
+including the karagam, kavadi, oyil, nayandi,
+komali etc., mounted in deliberate contrast to
+the post-Mani Rathnam emphasis on glossy
+technologically driven spectacles. Parijatham
+(Khushboo), a popular karagam dancer, wants
+to continue dancing even after her marriage to
+Pazhanisamy (Sivakumar), a noted performer.
+When Parijatham returns to the stage, in order
+to pay her husband’s debts, her insecure
+husband throws her out, forcing her to return
+to her mother (Manorama). The husband later
+wins custody of their son Velusami. When the
+son grows up and learns the truth, he
+abandons his father. Pazhanisamy, faced with a
+biitter feud with the village headman, later
+appeals to his estranged wife to help him in a
+climactic dance-duel, which she eventually
+wins after her husband’s death. Billed after a
+long gap as an Ilaiyaraja solo, the film’s earthy
+folk music - notably the song Othe roova
+tharen (‘I shall give you a rupee’) - proved the
+most successful of the year in Tamil film.
