1977: Renewed interest across centres!

Rarely has a message and action-oriented movie been released without earning its legitimate share of accolades. The same has happened for Sarath Kumar’s 1977, directed by Dinesh Kumar. Released a couple of weeks ago, the film's glory has spread through word of mouth and now after two weeks, the response is picking up suddenly yet tremendously.

1977 is about a young man who, while going through his family photo album, stumbles upon some curious facts. The film’s gears are set in motion when using the�clues he finds in the album,�the younger Sarath travels abroad to unearth the secret information about his father, Sarath Kumar senior. As he travels through Malaysia, we too take up the weary, angst-ridden journey with him and so all the well-packaged and presented action and drama immediately work their way into�audiences’ minds. Also, all the happy montages that we observe in the first part of�augur the�sadder punch in the second half. With six different get-ups, Sarath has indeed given a double impact through his roles as father and son. Along with him are the lovely ladies Jayasudha, Farzana and Namitha.

The renewed response for the film is indeed�proof�that a well-made, clean entertainer can surely make an impact on�audiences and act as a guiding beacon to industry people on how to tailor stories that�aptly�match audience tastes.
