A favourite pastime is to scourge Youtube for full-length movies. Watching movies on youtube feels better and faster than searching for other online sources. And the watching is in bits and pieces over a couple of weeks or in a couple of days if it is gripping.
I stumbled upon Avargal (1977) , directed by the unrivaled K.B. The movie is a timeless classic. I watched the whole movie in one day - leaving it half-heartedly only for unpostponable jobs. The way the protaganist's past is unveiled in the beginning of the film is a poem in itself. The character sketch of Anu(Sujatha) is perfect; of Janardhan (Kamal) is damn lovable. All the characters seem realistic, except for Ramanathan's mother - THAT is utopian.. :-D
The songs are a part of the story too - made me pay a lot of attention to the beautiful lyrics (Kannadasan acc to google).
