Apoorva Sagodharargal is a Tamil language film starring Kamal Haasan in the lead role of the protagonist. Due to its success down South, the film was dubbed into Hindi as Appu Raja in 1990 and like the original, was successful enough to become one of the cult classics.
[edit] PlotSethupathy (Kamal hassan) is an honest and upright police officer. When he arrests four bigwigs Dharmaraj (Nagesh), Francis Anbarasu ('Delhi' Ganesh), Nallasivam (Nasser) and Satyamoorthy (Jaishankar), they escape justice easily and return to take revenge. They kill him and poison his wife (Srividya). She escapes and gives birth to twins with the help of another woman (Manorama) but the babies are separated and each woman believes that the other is dead. Raja (Kamalhassan) grows up as a mechanic with Manorama while Appu (Kamalhassan), a dwarf, grows up in the circus with Srividya. Appu falls in love with the daughter of the circus owner mistakenly thinking that she was asking him to elope with her. But she had asked him to be witness to her marriage with her fiancé, which was not approved by her father. Heartbroken over this and insecurity over his height, he tries to commit suicide but is prevented by his mother, who then reveals the reason that he is born as a dwarf might have been because of the poison force fed to her when she was pregnant with the twins. This leads appu to learn about his father’s murder and he decides to avenge by killing the four murderers. Meanwhile, Raja falls in love with Janaki (Gautami) who happens to be Satyamoorthy's daughter. As Raja resembles Sethupathy, Sathyamoorthy and his 3 friends gain interest in Raja. Appu uses one of his well trained circus animals to lure Francis Anbarasu to an abandoned building and reveals his identity to him. Francis Anbarasu smirks when he sees that Appu is a dwarf and cannot hurt him due to his bigger size. But Appu uses a domino contraption to kill him and the dead body falls in a truck covered with hay. Raja and Janaki have car trouble and hitchhike a ride in the same truck but are oblivious to the dead body. The truck driver discovers the body when he reaches his destination and calls the police. The inspector (Janakaraj) in charge of the case, suspects Raja by tracing the car number given by the truck driver. Appu kills Nallasivam In a golf course using a tiger from his circus but Nallasivams caddy sees Appu’s face and the tigers tail from afar. This leads the inspector to Raja again who, coincidentally is wearing a tiger costume while performing a song at a festival in his street. Janaki becomes enraged when she learns that Raja has killed his father’s friends and breaks up with him. Raja is released from custody as the postmortem examination has revealed real tiger wounds that could not be inflicted by Raja’s costume. He goes over to Janaki’s house to smooth things over with the inspector following him covertly. When he is talking to her, Appu tricks Sathyamoorthy into killing himself with a hand gun that shoots backwards. Appu escapes but the Raja and Janaki enter Sathyamoorthy's room hearing the gunshot a few moments before the inspector arrives. Janaki faints when she sees her dad dead and the inspector now believe that Raja had shot Sathyamoorthy. Raja too escapes and is on the run while the police had released a sketch of his face to the public. An exhausted Raja is spotted by some people in a market and they try to catch him. Raja, in an attempt to evade capture threatens to kill the nearest Women he gets hold off. When the crowd back down, he releases the woman and escapes. The woman, Srividhya, realizes that Raja is the other twin and seeks out Manorama. They both realize that the murders are committed by Appu and Raja is mistaken as Appu, who overhears this. Dharmaraj believes that it is Raja avenging his father’s death and that he is next decides to seek out Raja’s mother and is shocked to see Srivdhya, whom he believed to be dead, also present there. Nonetheless, he kidnaps both women and threatens to kill them unless Raja comes to him. Appu escapes and helps Raja evade Police and tells him everything. They both collaborate and go to the circus where their mothers are held captive. With the help of well trained circus animals, Appu and Raja overpower the goons. Ignoring his mothers call to stop, Appu kills Dharmaraj. Appu surrenders to the police and Raja is set free. The dance sequence of Raja Kaiya Vechcha, borrows a few sequences from the English musical "Grease", which featured John Travolta and Olivia Newton John. Especially the sequence where the old car transforms into a brand new one and the costumes of the cast changes dramatically. The film is noted for its breath taking special effect showing (Kamalhassan) as a dwarf man. [edit] Track listingTamil
