+An exploitative expose film by a group of film
+students using hand-held camera, emphatic
+lighting and location sound techniques. A man
+with good political and criminal connections
+kills women who come and picnic near his
+mansion. After much bloodletting, the villains
+are eliminated by an honest cop and a fearless
+newspaper editor (Jaishankar) as the cop
+pumps his bullets, in slow motion, into the
+slasher’s body. The gory film is leavened with
+song and dance numbers and references to
+violent incidents of Tamil Nadu political life:
+e.g. the storming of the newspaper office. A
+song, sung by the editor, later became famous
+as it was used at political and trade union
+demonstrations, and later became the theme
+song for the Tamil Eelam. The film’s major
+impact however was to introduce alumni of the
+Madras Film Institute into the mainstream Tamil
+film industry.
