+Visu’s caste-conscious urban middle-class
+family drama. Here he plays Ammaiyappa
+Mudaliar, a salaried employee with a wife, a
+daughter and three sons, making for four
+couples in a single household. The daughter,
+who aspires to a measure of freedom in her
+marriage, is contrasted with an obediently
+traditional daughter-in-law (Laxmi). The story
+approves of Christian-Hindu marriage, clearly
+features caste identities (e.g. the troubleshooter
+figure of the servant Kannamma,
+played brilliantly by Manorama) and refuses to
+hide reactionary family ideologies under a
+progressive cloak. Manorama, the legendary
+Tamil comedienne, had debuted in the 1950s
+and has reputedly done over a thousand Tamil
+films. This film was remade in Hindi as Sansar
+(T. Rama Rao, 1987) with Aruna Irani in the
+role. The major hit extended the AVM studio’s
+successes into the 80s.
