Pushpaka Vimanam

"a new Kamal-Singeetham experiment hits the Silver Screen, in 1988, unannounced. Everyone gasps at the intelligence of 'Pushpaka Vimanamu' (Ironically not a word is spoken). People don't know how they're supposed to react.It was made it in English ('The Love Chariot') , Kannada ('Pushpaka Vimana'), Malayalam ('Pushpaka Vimanam'), and Tamil (Pesum Padam)." There is much to be said about this film. First things first, this is a definite Kamal Satisfiyer. The plot is essentially about an unemployed graduate, and where his thirst for money brings him. A truly excellent Singeetham film, following Raja Paarvai. This can't be dismissed as a Charlie Chaplin comedy, but rather a film, where there happens to be no reason for the charachters to speak! The stroy is so well furnished, with just the right amount of perks everywhere, that you become completely nonchalent of the fact that the charachters don't utter a word. Ilayaraaja's re-recording was inevitable to bring out the best in this movie. There are no songs or whatsoever, but the feeling of suspense, comedy, and thrill were brought out by maestro's magic. Much to be learnt in this movie also. The movie leaves us with alot if things to ponder on; about the essentials in life, about the true evil, about love, and about the relationships in life. The movie, in my opinion, is one that should never be missed, and it is one that should have gained greater acclamation.
