I admit that this was one of rajini's better performances in his career. His role in this movie was such that it stole the attention from Kamal haasan. But yet again, kamal comes out in flying colours in playing his part to perfection.

one more great movie by K.Balachander.

its a love triangle with kamal and sridevi in love with each other and rajini also behind sridevi. when kamal falls into water and cant swim, sridevi is torn apart and desperate for help but rajini cares least and is very happy inside
