Mouna Raagam is a classic, a poem from Maniratnam
The film lead actors include Mohan, Revathi and Karthik.
The film has enjoyable moments and sad moments as well.
You can separate it into 2 parts where Revathi stays with Mohan. & where revathi’s love with Karthik.
The film itself is poetic and so neatly written into the characters. The actors linger into our minds as the characters till today.
I bet you can watch this movie 100 times and still you wont get bored.
The exciting, loving, fun filled moments where revathi has with Karthik is neatly essayed.
The fun filled life of karthik where revathi and himself meet accidentally and as usual the gal hates him first thinking him as a rowdy and finally comes to know tht he is a revolutionist and loves him for his character.
The life where revathy spends her initial days with Mohan, where he tries to get her to normalcy and fails makes u feel sympathetic for him.
The scene where Mohan asks for her first wedding present, revathi replies with a request for a divorce is simply heartbreaking.
Mohan plays the role of the husband with finesse.
Later when revathy understands the love of her husband and tries to get his attention, which she fails is done excellently. I too felt the same feelings of Mohan.
The movie ends with both the husband and wife living together.
The excellent part of the movie is background music which Ilayaraja Steals the show as usual. The songs are awesome.
Particularly I like the song Mandram vandha, Nilavae vaa
Alltogether an Awesome movie from the great director
