Somewhere, some time, I might get around to writing the reviews of all the films I want to write about. :) <i>Nala Damayanthi</i> and <i>Anbe Sivam</i> are definitely on my list.Anu Warrierhttp://anuradhawarrier.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-48919162827119397092014-07-12T03:40:11.482-04:002014-07-12T03:40:11.482-04:00I have landed here when I was in search of songs o...I have landed here when I was in search of songs of praise of cities and read most of your reviews which have taken me 20-25 years back.

And his clout wouldn't extend to that particular jury panel. But whatever may be the reason, fact is that there <i>were</i> better performances that year. But again, I have no real complaints. I like Rekha as an actress as well.
