    Memorable

    One of the earliest coming of age films in Tamil, this film is a beautiful depiction of the experience. Shobha and Pratap Pothen play out their parts perfectly, and Salil Chowdhury's music is memorable. Balu Mahendra ought to remember the time when he used to make such watchable films.
