Punnagai Mannan with Kamal and Revathi as Sethu and Malini is an eternal favorite for Tamil film buffs. Never has love been more beautiful or more tragic. Malini comes into Sethu’s life at a time when he is traumatized over the death of his first love and is jaded, cynical, and merely cruising along without the will to live. The young and sprightly Sri Lankan girl who is untouched by the harshness of life comes like a breath of fresh air and restores his spirit and brings him back into the world of the living with the healing touch of her love. But alas, the lovers were doomed and made us weep over the cruelty of inexorable fate.
