This movie was way ahead of its time
prasanthmaverick19 May 2020
I couldn't imagine a movie like this came when the tamil industry was filled with crappy family sentimental and college life movies.

This movie may have been the inspiration for the super hit malayalam movie- mumbai police and the blockbuster telugu movie evadu.

The simple one liner is- a man loses his memories and he goes on a journey to find out who he is and ends up finding the dark secrets.

This movie deserves a 10 star but the screenplay is not interesting in some places. The tamil cinema audience always want to have a fight scene every now and then and it is a thumb rule set by the audience that the films must have at least 5 songs. And how can a movie not have any romantic scenes?

These factors slows down the movie's pace and might make you bored sometimes. But you have the option to skip those scenes!

If this movie is released today, focusing only on the main plot without any deviations, I am sure this will be spoken at PAN India level.

Remember, this one is made in 1989. So don't complain about the commercial contents and enjoy a fantastic mystery movie.

Forgot to celebrate
Another Kamal movie that these boomer 70s and 80s forgot to celebrate.

Loosely based on Bourne identity by robert ludlum released in 1980. Hollywood took 22 years to make this movie. But Kamal made it in 1989 itself. Way ahead of its time. It's difficult for people to understand this film as I said they're 70s 80s boomers who want 5 songs, 5 fights, comedy track, rajini style, mass scene, item song.

Prabhu kushboo scenes are useless and not needed in the movie. That's why it's not getting a clean 10/10. Rajani Parveen stole the screen with full beauty. Salim ghouse as usual gave his best villainism.

Moderate fare
sksanjaykumar-699419 June 2022
This movie is an adaption of the novel "Bourne Identity". The film was produced by Sivaji prodcutions. It was launched with Prabhu as hero & kamal in a guest role. But kamal changed the script & Prabhu was redued to a minor role.

The movie has nothing to rave about. Salim ghouse makes an impression. Kamal seems disinterested & prabhu is wasted. Khushbu & sasikala, as heroines have nothing much to do.

The movie was dragged to 100 days in chennai & had an average run in the box office.
