Casually i happened to watch this movie while browsing channels. Thamizhan tv beamed 'nanri meendum varuga', a film directed by mouli.
prathap caps dual roles in this movie. the first one, an industrialist, falls in love with suhasini and follows her wherever she goes and at last wins her love and they get engaged.
but fate has other plans and in a lorry accident he kicks the bucket. suhasini loses her mental balance and embraces tamil cinema's most favourite health condition 'amnesia'.
the second avatar of prathap is a telugu actor. when in the hospital she accidentally sees a photo of actor prathap in a magazine and starts recollecting her memories.
but, since she had lost her senses even before prathap had died (at the very thought of a lorry might hit him), she did not know that he is dead yet.
her relatives convince actor prathap to pose as the original prathap to make suhasini convalesce.
after initial hesitation he obliges and in the due course really falls in love with suhasini and they get married at last.
there are some hilarious sequences about the film industry. eventhough not as intelligent as 'server sundaram' it evokes humour. mouli has given voice for both the prathaps. jaishankar, visu, rajini, jaichitra all show their faces for a few seconds. there is one beautiful song involving the first prathap and suhasini sung by spb and sjanaki - kaadhal kanavugale neeradum en ninaivugale. shyam once again gives a great melody and not to mention about spb and sj's beautiful improvisations.

CAME ACROSS A GOOD VERSION

i tried to catch it in my cell phone. could get hold of only 2 minutes.
and there is another song 'pacha molaga', a good mockery of item songs in films. particularly the lines 'pachadi vachen kichadi vachen' with jayamalini's trademark hip gyrations.
medaiyil naane raja by deepan chakravarthi reminds 'dhol bhaaje dhol bhaaje' of hum dil de chuke sanam.eventhough this tamil film came more than 10-15 years before the hindi one, (i am well used to the inimitable notoriety of shankar ganesh and the ilk's plagiarism ), i am forced to conclude there is an original tune for both these songs.
