Wondeful layout and thread Roshini and you have picked a beautiful movie.

Coming to mouna raagam it is one of the most evergreen hits and it cannot be forget by anyone. If i am right after this movie only Maniratnam starts to shines a lot. He break the rules many time he take a love story between a marriage couple with many different misunderstanding circumstance.

The both Mohan and Revathi pair looks like mate for each other, they been maintaining in a distance of understanding each other. The way Mohan understand Revathi in the beginning and he been avoided her in the later half of giving her happiness of divorce notice is simply mindblowing, as it tells he can do anything for his wife. When coming to Revathi she is been hatting Mohan for wanting divorce from him but later half she loves him but Mohan ignoring her for giving her happiness. Director Maniratnam has used a beautiful vice versa over her which attracts the audience.

This movie soul is not only Mohan and REvathi pair. Also Karthik he just came in a big cameo appearance and he just stole the show. No one can ever forget the chandramouli dialogue it is the dialogue which no one can forget. The way he spoke chandramouli is simply too osum. This movie chemistry of Revathi and Karthik, Revathi and mohan chemistry is the soul of the movie along with Maniratnam direction and Ilayaraja mindblowing music.

Nice pick, Rosh.
Mouna Raagam is one of my favourite movie. Mohan, Karthik & Revathy played their roles extremely well... my favourite character has to be CK played by Mohan.
There's only a few negatives... Oho megam vanthatho song, Revathy's comedy track & a few other scenes looked really out of place/ didn't fit in with the overall mood of the film, but we're good nevertheless. ;)
