MUKHACHITHRAM 1992 MOVIE REVIEW

MUKHACHITHRAM 1992

I saw this movie when it released in theatres.I was in school then.it was a good entertaining movie.it had all the elements to capture the attention of audience till the end.the chemistry of the lead actors was really good. Jayaram siddique jagadeesh and and especially urvashi excelled.supporting actors like kpac lalitha and jagathi were great with the understated acting. The dialogue "echoose me(excuse me)" became a comedic phenomenon and defined the type of roles that jagadeesh got for later movies.

The plot: siddique an this love interest sunitha works as teachers in the school run by kpac lalitha who herself is the headmistress or the school.jagathy plays her do no good husband who is also employed in terms school. Jagadeesh is the 'stylish' peon who tries to impress the ladies with his broken and pathetic English .he also has the hots for sunitha and tries to impress her with his love letters.

Now the school wants a new band master. The one brought by jagathy and jagdeesh to impress lalitha creates such a ruckus that lalitha entrusts siddique with the role. He tries hard but fails.but while in town he sees jayaram who plays his musical instrument- a saxophone- for a living.he is an orphan. Siddique woos him with promise of a steady job and brings him dressed up in band master clothes and convinces everyone except jagathy and jagdeesh who are not impressed.

Jayaram quickly gains the respect of everyone especially lalitha who gives him a house to live in.being childless she consider him like a son.but jagadeesh puts oil in fire by convincing jagathy that lalitha is in love with jayaram!
