Mohan's movies remind me of my early childhood . Chennai was clean in the early 80s . No ugly flats no big jazzy music no cars zooming by. Those bellbottom high waist pants, that wavy hair which men of that generation wore makes me feel nostalgic . Mohan a Hindu and Poornima Jayaram , a Christian are neighbours and fall in love Their families come to know and try to thwart it . Poornima's father in fact even forces her to get engaged to another Christian chap . A lot of violence and tears later , both die unable to bear their separation . A very simple story but relevant for those days when such marriages were becoming a norm . The heroin's friend , another Poornima became a big heroine in Telugu later . The main lead were new and raw then . without much glamour . A fine family movie .
