Plot

[edit]

Subramani, a villager, is an obsessive fan of Ranjani, an actress based in Madras. When the village elder speaks ill of Ranjani, Subramani murders him. Subramani moves to Madras, and after persistently stalking Ranjani without her knowledge, he eventually becomes her driver. Ranjani eventually becomes aware of Subramani's lust for her and rebuffs him. Later when Subramani enters Ranjani's room, he finds her slain corpse. He is startled, and while trying to hide her corpse, he accidentally kills a visiting press photographer, and intentionally murders Ranjani's manager when he sees the corpse. When Ranjani's younger sister Vidya and her daughter arrive, Subramani hides. Afterwards he hides Ranjani's corpse in the trunk of a car but Vidya finds it. She later tells her husband, a police inspector, that Subramani is behind the murders of Ranjani, her manager and the photographer. Subramani holds the couple's daughter hostage, but is outsmarted by the couple. He fights the inspector but is defeated, and dies near Ranjani's corpse.

Production

[edit]

Stills Ravi, a still photographer, agreed to produce the film because of his friendship with Manobala and admiration for Mohan.[1] The latter charged no fee for acting in the film. Mohan's voice was dubbed by Ratnakumar, instead of his usual dubbing artist S. N. Surendar.[2] The dialogues were written by M. S. Madhu, cinematography was handled by K. Rajpreeth and editing by Gowthaman.[3]

Soundtrack

[edit]

The music was composed by Gangai Amaran.[4]

Release and reception

[edit]

Naan Ungal Rasigan was released on 11 October 1985.[2] Jayamanmadhan of Kalki praised the performance of Mohan but found his characterisation confusing while also praising Radhika and Nalini's performance and certain scenes for providing thrills and concluded maybe Manobala is more used to horror scenes than emotional scenes however when the cards keep stacking up like a house of cards, even the horror will become tasteless which something he should understand while making his next film.[5] The film was also reviewed by Anna.[6] The film failed at the box office.[7]
