its a relatively low budget movie which no one wanted to release first for its strong emotional content.

but it went on to become the biggest blockbuster of the that year its a experience which should be felt the music by illayaraja is a most important character in the movie since most of pain in this love story is expressed in the music of movie even if you don't like the 1 st half ...... wait for the second half you will not be disappointed ...instead you will see the one of the masterpiece in tragedy ever made on screen

Pain of love has never been captured on screen like this in cinema warning : see with sub titles for people who don't have patience to wait for the second half ( yes 2nd half you don't need sub titles )

This movie will definitely leave a tear on our eyes at the end.

The way the characters are depicted in the movie is excellent. The story, characters and the feeling they give to the viewers is something you cant forget in your life.

You should have watched many a LOVE movies/stories in your life, but this movie is far different from them. Let me tell how it is different, you will not face even a Romantic (i mean a LOVE song with Hero and Heroine) Song, no vulgar language, no vulgar scenes, even this movie don't have any MESSAGE, except the feeling that we cant breath with out our loved ones. You can watch this movie with your family (though a LOVE movie). You will NOT ENJOY the movie, but damn sure you will LOVE and FEEL the message from the movie.
