Varumaiyin Niram Sigappu - K.Balachander's movie starring Kamalhassan and Sridevi in lead, S.Ve.Sekar and Dilip being introductions, had been made in sometime in 1980. The movie has a situational theme which is very much beaten in those days novels and movies. How an educated youth finds hard to live with unemployment rate being very high.
The movie is etched with all scenes which draw sympathy from the viewers. The lead artistes is seen in just couple of clothes throughout the movie. I had to pull this off my CD library to beat the boredom on a weekday. As I watched the movie, my mom uttered :"Where is unemployment now? Ppl say BPO, MNC everywhere and all gals & guys are employed @ 20 yrs!!"..
The movie had very strong dialogues/scenes which condemn the society, Indian Government, The way Democracy was made. I wondered what if the movie is made in 2005. What scenes could be censored !!!
1) Kamal - Dilip - S.Ve.Sekar trio,after discussing their poverty, ends the scene shouting - Congress(I) zindabad ! Congress (J) Zindabad !! Congress(K) Zindabad!!! Congress (H) Zindabad !! Democracy Zindabad !!
2) Kamal mistakenly beats the dumb artist and asks if he is Hindi, Tamil since he didnt reply him for long. The artists nods yes when asked if he is Indian. Then ends the scene saying :"Oomaiyaaa ? Adhaan endha mozhiyaiyum sondhamnu sollikkama Indian'nnu sonniya ?"
This could be condemned claiming "Kamal is acting against Tamil and conveying he is Indian"
3) Kamal asks S.Ve.Sekar in the first scene :"unakku cigarette pidikkara pazhakkam irukka?". "Illae!" tells later. Kamal laughs and says "appadinna pazhagikkoo.. yaenna, ingae naanga pala naal adhathaan sappiduvoom !!" - This scene would be condemned to be removed because its misleading youngsters that cigarette is eatable and would spoil them.
4) A Contractor "sub-contracts" his wife to government official for a tenure to get hold of a 10-lakh contract. Many women association would ban the movie because it mars the female community.
Finally, the movie would be a box office disaster coz the songs are Bharathiyar's and no kuthu song and half the dialogues are from Bharathiyar kavidhaigal.
