Uyirile Kalanthathu
Uyirile Kalanthathu is a Tamil film starring Surya Sivakumar, Raghuvaran and Jyothika. It was their second film together as a pair. Surya plays the role of a medical college student and Jyotika is his girl. Surya’s father’s role is played by his father in real life, Sivakumar. Raghuvaran plays his elder brother, who is the collector of the district.
Surya is the youngest son of the family and this gives much heartburn to elder brother Raghuvaran. Their rivalry begins from childhood and can be illustrated by the scene where the elder brother pinches his baby brother just to see him cry. The jealousy grows into adulthood. His whole aim in life is to see that Surya’s life is beset with problems, thanks to him. However, Surya and his parents are blissfully unaware of the jealousy that has possessed Raghuvaran. When he discovers the love between Surya and Jyotika he passes on the word to Jyotika’s elder brother who is a known rowdy around the area. He does this thinking that the rowdy would manage to beat up Surya and perhaps separate both Surya and Jyotika. This plan backfires, when the rowdy is more than happy to get them both married because more than anything, he cares about his sister’s happiness. Raghuvaran then pushes Surya over a cliff edge. The rest of the movie is about whether Raghuvaran will find the love and care that he has always yearned for from his parents. In this movie there were many stars but Jyothika took the lead and until now that is one of her best film. All the songs in the movie were hits.
