Puthiya paravai

I really do not know that how many times I had watched this movie. Every time I feel like I am watching it for the first time. The acting of shivaji ganesan remain incomparable. The plot of the story : The hero committed an uxoricide without any pre-planned motive. To his knowledge, the matter got closed. After sometime, a girl came across his life he got enticed by her beauty and she reciprocated his proposal as they almost reached the stage of marrying each other. As in every crime thriller , an unexpected twist happened----"arrival of murdered wife coming alive". He knew that the "arrived"lady was not his wife
because he disposed her dead body soon after killing her . To add his misery " new" comers entered the house under the guise of wife's relative. He played every trick to get rid of them . But nothing fructified. On the one hand, he had to pacify her "lover" on the other hand, unable to digest with the arrival of a new intruder into his life. He was totally confused as his agony grew day by day. Then came a situation, where he had to spill the beans. Before making confession, he was shocked that the police department had used decoys to push him hard to make confession because they had no evidence to arrest the murderer,as they relied on his own confession to open the case. Every character surrounding him was police in mufti clothes. The heroine too, was used as a decoy. He was unable to believe the reason why "love"was used as a weapon in the process of investigation.

The film has some evergreen music numbers rendered by M.S.Viswanathan like "paartha naabagum illaiyo" , chittu kuruvi muttham koduthu", "unnai onru ketpayan" , " enge nimmadhi"are still remembred as classic tunes. Both the heroines, saroja devi and sowcar janaki, were glamourous. above all, shivaji's histrionics speak volumes. The story is based on the Hollywood film chasing a crooked shadow.
