Andha Naal

This movie (as mentioned, is the first without songs) is one of the old b&w that I watched when I was a kid. Later, when I watched movies like Citizen Kane, Rashomon etc., this was the movie which came to my mind, more for the style of narration of the story. I guess this is one inspired by Rashomon, and preserves the style of narration. This is not too much of a thriller suspense, but this is a movie that you can watch any day and enjoy (if you care for movies that are classics). Being a 50s movie, certainly one of the landmarks in tamil movie industry, in spite of not being an original concept. The performances are certainly bit theatrical, but that was how acting was in those days. And that flavor of acting makes the movie all the more evergreen and a good classic to watch.
