Plot[edit]

Vallavan (Silambarasan) is a happy-go-lucky college student with a set of friends, Bala (Santhanam), Subbu (Sathyan), and Suchitra (Sandhya). When they are at the temple, Vallavan sees Swapna (Nayantara). He immediately falls in love with her. While Vallavan is at the college, Swapna shows up. She is revealed to be a teacher who is three years older than Vallavan. He decides to woo her by turning into Pallan, an ugly duckling with buck teeth and glasses. Pallan makes Swapna fall in love with him for his heart, even though he is ugly. When Swapna comes to know that Pallan is younger than her (from one of Vallavan's enemies in school) and also a student, she dumps him and decides to marry another man. Meanwhile, a sequence of events take place, much to the chagrin of Vallavan, who is highly insulted by them. As Vallavan walks in the streets wondering how things got so messy, he recalls his school life. When he was in higher secondary school, Vallavan met Geetha (Reema Sen). A hysteric Geetha ensures that Vallavan is mad about her. Coming to know of her true nature, he ends the affair with her, but she is not ready to let him go so easily, so he resolves to teach her a lesson. Geetha returns for payback. She tells him that she was the spoilt sport for the current mess in his life. In a climax displaying her disorder, she kidnaps Suchitra, and Vallavan arrives and frees her. The film fast-forwards to three years later. Geetha is released from a mental asylum. The moment she steps out, she exhibits her fiery psychotic expression, showing that she never actually recovered. Vallavan is waiting for her, and they communicate telepathetically, with Vallavan saying that she cannot do anything to him.

Themes[edit]

Papyrus Fight Theme Music

Sakalakala Vallavan follows the 'taming of the shrew' paradigm that was popular in Tamil cinema as early as the 1960s: 'the city-bred girl making fun of the rustic and the latter turning the tables on her'.^[8] Film producer and writer G. Dhananjayan compared the film to the William Shakespeare play The Taming of the Shrew for following the same concept.^[9]

Soundtrack[edit]

The music was composed by Ilaiyaraaja, with lyrics by Vaali.^[10] The song 'Nila Kayuthu' is set in the carnatic raga known as Madhyamavati.^[11] 'Ilamai Edho Edho' remains one of the most popular New Year-themed songs in Tamil cinema.^[12][13] The soundtrack cover shows Kamal Haasan, as he appears in that song.

Release and reception[edit]

Sakalakala Vallavan was released on 14 August 1982.^[14] Despite facing competition from another Muthuraman-directed film Enkeyo Ketta Kural, released on the same day, both films succeeded commercially.^[15]Sakalakala Vallavan ran for over 175 days in theatres.^[16] G. Dhananjayan considered the film to have grossed over ₹1 crore (equivalent to ₹14 crore or US$2.0 million in 2018).^[17]Ananda Vikatan, in a review dated 5 September 1982, rated the film 42 out of 100.^[18]

Legacy[edit]

Sakalakala Vallavan widened Kamal Haasan's audience base from the 'classes' to a hero of the 'masses'.^[19] G. Dhananjayan noted that while Haasan was then considered an 'A-centre star', the film took him 'to the B and C centres'.^[20][a] Despite the film's success, Haasan thought little of the film, feeling he was a 'paid performer and not an actor'. He added, 'It cleared certain notions in my head about the mistakes I shouldn’t make.'^[22]Sakalakala Vallavan inspired the tite of a 2015 film which was not related to this film.^[23] Sudhir Srinivasan of The Hindu noted that both films were 'about a gold-hearted villager and his taming of an urban woman'.^[24] Title also inspired a show aired on Kalaignar TV.^[25] In June 2013, A. Muthusamy of Honey Bee Music enhanced the songs from their original version on the film's soundtrack album to 5.1 surround sound.^[26]
