A great movie. This movie more than anything defined Rajni ,as he is known today. Nearly thirty years have passed since it was released but even today it is very watchable. The movie is about the ego clash between a city bred Engineer Sarathbabu and an uncouth villager Rajni. The movie takes interesting turns and has some sterling performances given by the late actress Shobha as Rajni's wife, Rajni and Sarathbabu. Rajni sizzles, and he is packaged in this movie with his trade mark style, punchlines and everything else that is Superstar Rajni. The songs are just superb and Ilayaraja was in his peak form those days. The camera-work and the direction is flawless considering the times. Director Mahendran achieved great fame with this movie. Above all, this movie is of great nostalgic value.

A must watch to see the actor Rajinikanth. He lived the character Kali which has the impact until now. 'Ketta paya sir in the Kaali'

Good Movie. Everybody acted very well in the movie. Songs and BGM in the movie were good. The movie was so interesting at 1st half. The movie somewhat lagged at 2nd half. The movie had some unwanted scenes. The movie did not had conclusion for some characters. This movie is one of the Best Tamil Movie of Rajinikanth. Good Movie.

If you enjoy watching over two hours of a horrible and unlikable lead character, then this is the movie for you. If you enjoy watching him beat his wife against a wall, then this is for you. If you love misogyny, then this is for you. I hated the lead role, which made me hate the whole movie.

I wish I could give this movie a rating of zero, however the two female leads are great in this.
