Cast: Kamal Haasan, Jayapradha, Rajinikanth,Direction: K BalachanderGenre: RomanceDuration: 2 hours 20 minutes
Synopsis: A four-member band goes to Singapore for a gig and the band's lead singer falls in love with Sona, an enigmatic fan and a tragedy waiting to happen.

Yet, it is this film that has been digitally restored and re-released, and in looking for reasons, you realize that this is so mainly because of the stature of these three important figures in Tamil cinema.
The story, by Sujatha, is actually a melodrama — a four-member band (Yours Lovingly) goes to Singapore for a gig and the band's lead singer Chandru (Kamal) falls in love with Sona (Jayapradha), an enigmatic fan and a tragedy waiting to happen. But Balachander treats this more as a musical and a rom-com. For the former, he gets one of the fabulous late-career albums from MS Viswanathan, and, not surprisingly, the songs from this film feel less dated than the scenes. As for the comedy,
