[Paul Bunyan]

நெஞ்சத்தைக்கிள்ளாதே, 1981, Directed by Mahendran, Music by IR, Pratap / Mohan / Suhasini, Cinematography by Ashok Kumar

Music way ahead of its times is the mainstay in this soft movie that tells how a mischevous, bubbly youth ends up paying heavily for her unkind act to an irritable sister-in-law. That, with an award winning "pleasant-to-eyes" cinematography

ஆண் பாவம், 1985, Directed by Pandiyarajan, Music by IR, Pandiyan / Seetha / Revathy / Pandiyarajan

A heady mixture of fun, romance and sadness, presented with some extraordinary BGM and sweet songs. Some expected stereotypes and some totally unexpected turns / scenes make this movie an unique experience

நான் பாடும் பாடல், 1984, Directed by R Sundarrajan, Music by IR, Mohan / Ambika / Sivakumar / Goundamani

Possibly the most decent romance shown in TF - between singer Ambika and admirer Mohan. Movie is a heady mixture of top-class songs, tragic event, hilarious comedy scenes and cliche'd climax

வைதேகி காத்திருந்தாள், 1984, Directed by R Sundarrajan, Music by IR, Vijayakanth / Revathy / Goundamani

Musically rich, this is a movie of many tragic events but cleverly fused with some rib-tickling stuff and a successful romance to ensure viewer pleasure. One-of-a-kind movie by way of usage of stars and packaging

ஒரு கைதியின் டைரி, 1985, Directed by Bharathiraja, Music by IR, Kamal / Radha / Revathy

On the surface, a typical revenge story with 3 villains - the magical number for films. OTOH, the presentation was novel that ensured the attention of viewers. The "romance-after-marriage" between Kamal & Radha is perhaps one of the sweetest seen on-screen and so are the "peculiar-situation-interactions" between a girl and her would-be-father-in-law
