Love Today, May 1997

http://www.ilayathalapathyvijay.com/lovetoday.htm

Co-stars: Raghuvaran, Suvalakshmi, Manthra, Karan, Rajan P. Dev, 'Mimicry' Thamu, Pattukkottai Shanmugasundaram & others.

Production: Super Good Films
Story, Screenplay, Dialogue & Direction: Balasekaran (Debut)

Story: Ganesh (Vijay) is the son of Government Hospital Doctor Chandrasekar (Raghuvaran). He is a BSc graduate and who has no job. He falls in love with a girl called Santhya (Suvalakshmi) who is a college student doing her BSc Computer Science. Her objective is to get a gold medal along with her degree. She claims herself to be very stubborn in her heart, meaning, she would not fall in love with any one. She is the daughter of Vasudevan (Rajan P. Dev) & Krishnaveni.

Vasudevan is a rough police inspector and is a Doubting Thomas kind. Ganesh visits the bus stop daily to see Santhya and to travel in the same bus (just to see her). Since he does not know how to approach a girl to convey his love, he seeks the help of his friends Peter (Karan), 'Mimicry' Thamu and company. The 'Peter gang' is a bunch of college graduates who has no job to do and they spend their time in bus stops, watching women. They suggest some ideas to Ganesh but they don't work.

Santhya even tells Ganesh openly that she does not like him. Prithi (Manthra) is Santhya's classmate and she is known to Peter. Ganesh meets Prithi (through Peter) and he requests her to convey his love to Santhya. Prithi first refuses (knowing Santhya) and then agrees to try. But her attempt is of no use. Ganesh never gives up. He keeps on trying. He talks to Santhya directly. But she says that she does not like him.

In the meanwhile, Santhya's dad Vasudevan comes to know that Ganesh is following his daughter and he beats him up and arrests him. Santhya gets into trouble too. How Ganesh's love affects the lives of Ganesh, his friends, his dad, Santhya and her family forms the rest of the story. What happens to Ganesh's love is a million dollar question!

Kalamelam Kathiruppen,Jan 14th,1997

http://www.ilayathalapathyvijay.com/kalamelamathiruppen.htm

Co-stars: Dimple, R. Sundarrajan, Jaisankar, Sri Vidhya, Manivannan, Delhi Ganesh, Karan, Charlie and others.
Direction: R. Sundarrajan
Music Direction: Deva

Story: Kannan (Vijay) is the only son of Jaisankar and Sri Vidya couple. Since his dad is rich, Kannan spends the money lavishly. Charlie is his friend. Kannan is in charge of arranging the college cultural function. He happens to hear Manimekalai (Dimple) sing in a temple and he asks her to sing in the college function. Manimekalai refuses. All of Kannan's attempts to make her sing fails. In that process Kannan falls in love with her. But, Manimekalai hates him.

Manimekalai gets him arrested for eve-teasing and triggered by that, Kannan tries to marry Manimekalai by force. That fails miserably and Kannan's life takes a big hit. To forget all these and to start a new life, Manimekalai goes to Ooty and joins Karan's company. Kannan follows her to Ooty - this time he wants to convey his apologies to her. Manimekalai hates him and tries to make him leave Ooty. The series of incidents which follow leads to the climax.

Vijay, Karan, Jaisankar and Sri Vidya provide the required acting. Dimple's (debut) acting is OK, but, she can improve more in her acting skills. Delhi Ganesh has acted as Dimple's father and he has been wasted. Manivannan has a separate comedy track and it is enjoyable.
