karakkatakaran

I dont know why Im even doing this .. but I was reminded of this pretty old tamil movie and I thought I should enlighten the world on this "piece of art".

The Hero:
Ramarajan --> If you can tolerate his tight-fitting, obscenely colored silk kurtas
you must either be color-blind or be a part of the Parisian fashion elite.

The Heroine:
As usual a nonentity who can dance a bit and run around, and needless to say shed a lot of glycerine induced tears under stress.

Enter The Sidekicks:
By far the most interesting part of the movie. The rather legendary "vazhaippazham" joke was the contribution of this movie to tamil literature.

The Plot thickens:

Nothing much to say here unfortunately. Hero, heroine with some dance-rivalry and
ancient connections. In the end all ends well (otherwise the movie wont sell in India) and the villain gets impaled by an enraged bull in front of a temple (now if thats not imaginative what is!)

Asides:
The reason I got reminded of this movie was this song "ooru vittu ooru vanthu kathal keethal pannatheenge" --> if you dont know tamil dont bother.
{or if Im allowed to make a more outrageous claim .. if u dont understand tamil ur existence is even more meaningless than it already is}
