Mamanar celebrating the visit of mappiLLai , that too for thalai deepavaLi, is a rare phenomenon :).
The maPPiLLai-mamanar relationship shown in this cute film was very enjoyable. Stories that deal with such relationships are very unusual to our tamil films. Its shown mostly as parallel track(like in Karpagam), but not he main theme.
Janakaraj and NizhalgaL Ravi did a good job in their respective roles. Janakaraj is no Rangarao but given an opportunity he made good use of it .
Hey Happy DeepavaLi to everyone and special thalai deepavaLi to allo those pudhu mappiLLais :)

God is taking back his beautiful creations. His recent recall , Srividhya, was not only beautiful but highly talented. I had the opportunity to watch many of her malayalam films. Her talents were unmatchable. It is highly unfortunate that tamil film world did not utilise her talents, but whatever role was given to her she excelled. She was even made to act opposites to like of thengai srinivasan, koundamani, janakaraj, manivannan etc. But she always stole all the scenes she was in. Even if it was a walkin role, like in nammavar, she was at her best.
She had a miserable personal life. Her failed romance with kamalhassan, her unsuccessful career in tamil, her abusive marriage and finally cancer. Whew. She could never sing what her character sang in todays pick. Hope she will rest in peace finally.
