Mouna
Raagam
This
1987
blockbuster
had
layers
of
emotions
coupled
in
the
script.
Revathi's
varied
characterization,
Mohan's
subtle
acting,
Karthik's
aggressive
and
instantly
lovable
character
made
the
movie
a
runaway
blockbuster
at
the
box
office.
Manohar,
walks
to
Divya's
college
and
manages
to
get
her
out
the
classroom
by
convincing
both
Divya
and
her
class
teacher
with
a
cooked-up
story.
An
anxious
Divya
realizes
the
bluff
made
by
Manohar.
She
even
warns
him
about
his
further
motive
of
stalking,
roaming
and
proposing
to
her
which
comes
in
more
of
an
idea
to
Manohar
who
recites
same
lines
and
eventually
ending
up
proposing
to
her.
But
this
was
just
the
trail
as
Manohar
gets
hold
of
a
microphone
to
propose
to
Divya
after
Divya
prompts
him
to
do
the
same
but
in
a
sarcastic
tone.
Manohar
makes
it
look
way
too
simple
and
effortless
and
the
expressions
rendered
by
both
the
actors
are
just
appealing.
Vinnaithandi
Varuvaayaa
A
tale
of
love
between
a
Tamil
Hindu
boy
and
a
Malayali
Christian
girl
which
swirls
up
like
a
roller
coaster
ride.
Karthik
(STR)
instantly
falls
in
love
with
Jessie
(Trisha)
at
the
very
first
sight.
Jessie,
who
would
be
walking
down
the
street
with
Karthik,
assures
herself
that
the
duo's
relationship
could
be
termed
to
that
of
a
brother-sister
to
which
Karthik
opposes.
Karthik
affirms
that
all
the
other
females
could
be
deemed
as
his
sisters
apart
from
Jessie
as
he
is
in
love
with
her.
Karthik's
proposal
is
like
a
Tsunami
in
still
water.
The
proposal
is
instant
without
being
superficial
and
very
clear.
But
what
make
it
more
special
are
the
realistic
reactions
from
either
of
them
followed
by
a
breezy
BGM
by
the
Mozart
of
Madras.
Vettaiyaadu
Vilaiyaadu
Raghavan,
a
tough
cop,
is
shown
to
be
dealing
only
with
guns,
cases,
criminals
and
crime
locations.
For
a
change,
the
handsome
police
officer
gets
a
chance
to
showcase
his
romantic
side
as
well.
He
happens
to
meet
Kayalvizhi,
his
love
of
his
life
where
he
instantly
proposes
to
her.
A
highly
floored
Kayal,
though
doesn't
show
the
same
emotion,
plays
a
bit
more.
The
way
Raghavan
chooses
his
words
and
the
blushes
of
Kayal,
will
make
you
watch
the
scene
multiple
times.
Raghavan,
describes
his
profession,
personal
character
and
his
future
family
life
in
a
short
scene
but
in
a
very
effective
manner.
That
sure
is
enough
for
Kayal
to
give
thumbs
up
and
nod
her
head.
Vaaranam
Aayiram
Almost
every
guy
wishes
for
a
night
train
journey
with
a
female
companion
in
his
compartment
after
this
movie.
Suriya,
who
would
be
heading
back
to
his
hometown,
happens
to
encounter
Meghana.
The
night
backdrop
complimented
by
drizzling
rain
sets
up
the
scene
even
better.
Love
at
first
sight,
as
Suriya
relates
Meghana
to
his
mother.
Suriya
gets
claustrophobic,
jubilant,
loved
and
ecstatic
all
at
the
same
time,
and
becomes
clear
that
he
has
fallen
in
love.
Wasting
no
time,
Suriya
proposes
to
Meghana
with
some
cushioning
comparisons
of
his
initial
feelings.
Before
Meghana
jumps
into
conclusion,
Suriya
woos
Meghana
by
flaunting
his
guitar
and
pulling
out
an
old
Ilaiyaraaja
number.
Alaipayuthey
Standing
tall
in
the
list,
this
proposal
scene
could
be
deemed
as
the
best
in
Tamil
cinema.
17
years
to
this
movie
and
still
the
magic
is
intact!
A
couple
of
interactions
and
face-to-face
encounters
during
their
local
train
journey
strike
the
chord
between
Karthik
and
Shakthi.
Probably
one
such
rare
proposal
scenes
where
neither
the
hero
nor
heroine
recites
the
phrase
"I
Love
You",
yet
conveys
the
crux
in
the
most
beautiful
manner.
Karthik
gets
down
from
his
train
and
moves
fast
towards
Shakthi's
train.
In
a
slim
window
of
30-odd
seconds,
Karthik
snatches
Shakthi's
book,
gets
to
know
her
name
and
conveys
his
feeling
with
just
three
unconventional
yet
attractive
lines.
