Anbulla Appa
Anbulla Appa (transl. Dear Father) is a 1987 Indian Tamil-language drama film directed by A. C. Tirulokchandar for AVM Productions. The film stars Sivaji Ganesan, Nadhiya and Rahman. This was Tirulokchandar's last directorial venture before his retirement from films.[1] Plot
The story deals with the deep bond between a father played by Shivaji Ganesan and daughter played by Nadiya which causes trouble post her marriage because of the daughter Nadiya prioritising her relationship with her father over her husband. CastSoundtrackThe music was composed by Shankar–Ganesh, with lyrics by Vairamuthu.[2] The song "Maragathavallikku" is set in Brindavani Sarang raga.[3][4]
ReceptionThe Indian Express said, "Anbulla Appa anchors itself on the Sivaji-Nadiya equation not giving itself room even for lateral movement for plot development."[5] Jayamanmadhan of Kalki praised the performances of Sivaji Ganesan and Nadhiya and also praised Vinu Chakravarthy and Manorama's humour and Shankar–Ganesh's music.[6] The film did not do well at the box office and eventually became the final collaboration between Ganesan and Tirulokchandar.[7] References
