IMDb does a top Indian films list and is full of overrated Hindi movie crap. I was surprised to not see any of K. Balachander's films there. That is a shame.
K. Balachander has inspired several film-makers and actors including Kamal Haasan, Aamir Khan, Mani Ratnam, Rajinikanth, Amitabh Bachchan and the list goes on. One of his finest films in Apoorva Raagangal.
This film should be in one of the finest WORLD movies list. Outstanding cinematography and story telling technique by the master K. Balachander. The subject is incredible. There is a wrong citation stating that this film was inspired by a Hollywood film. That is totally incorrect. The Hollywood film is totally different from this, and Apoorva Raagangal is a defining film of the 70's.
If you are from South India reading this, I'd recommend a high rating and even throwing this film in the list of top 5 Indian films of all time.
Thanks Regards
