Mahanadi

This is one of the best movies made which shows the worst fate that can befall on a family. This movie will definitely affect your mind for at least a week. That is how intense this movie is. I would not recommend anyone to watch this movie even though it is very well directed and has amazing acting because this movie can really mess with your mind and can make you depressed. The most heart breaking scen of this movie is when kamal hassan finds his daughter to be a prostitute and learns her fate. That scene can literally crush anyone.

I would not recommend this movie if you are emotionally fragile and get disturbed easily. This movie will shatter you to pieces in some scenes. I am not a KamalHassan fan but this is a performance which even Gods would come down to watch. Playing a middle class father having his life ripped apart by greedy men this is his best performance ever and maybe his best movie. I will never watch this movie again because I cant handle the intensity of some scenes where you will just breakdown in tears. A fantastic movie which should have easily won the Oscars or any international award.

A must watch by every Indian citizen to know the consequences of Money.The saddest Indian movie but with a moderate happy ending. One cannot imagine such a dreadful life but if we look at the reality lot of people have gone-going through several pathetic journey. Every Father should cry on that scene where Kamal rescues his daughter from that Redlight area of Calcutta. The movie also showcases the worst part of the Jail and how prisoners are affected. Kamalhasan's performance would be at Top notch and the portrayal of a caring Father would be astounding. Maestro Illayaraja would have given a haunting BGM. There are few stunt scenes and the one between Kamal and the Jailer before Interval is a Mass scene of Hero's career. This should be the first movie where the audience really starts hating the villains. Of course it ran over 200 Days and remember 150 days in several theaters.

This movie is a typical Kamal, Santhana Barathi, Ilayaraaja classic and one of the movies Kamal has done his best without overdoing (which IMO he frequently does).

It's the story of an innocent village widower businessman who leads a simple life along with his children and Mother-in-law. He yields to temptation of moving to the city to make big money. Then starts all the trouble and pain that he has to face. The movie is really intense,dark and tragic.I will say no more for it will spoil the suspense.

Illayaraja has done his part by providing the movie with a great musical score.

Mahanadi is probably one of the few thamizh movie worth the time. 10/10 for the acting, direction and the music.

MAHANADHI..., its one of the best movie ever came in Tamil and also in future no movie can defeat this.. the role Krishna, could never played by any other actor. None can control their tears, when they watch this movie at any number of times. Movie clearly shown how a normal man get attracted by money and how he lose his happiness. also how some rich people were greedy about money, gals,etc. the scenes took place inside prison were awesome. no other movie shown the actual scenes like that.

A great try by Kamalhasan (god of Tamil cinema). actually Oscar missed this movie... not this movie missed Oscar.

the villain role played by Hanifa is fantastic. whenever i used to see him in any other movies, i felt angry with him. we cannot see any blunder in this whole movie. Music by Maestro, is a strong backbone for this movie. we can feel the romance and sadness of krishna from the background score. feel proud to write review for mahanadhi..
