Anbulla Kadhalukku (transl. For My Dearest) is a 1999 Indian Tamil-language romance film written, produced and directed by Mohan, starring himself alongside Megha, Sangeetha and Bhavana, while Anand Babu and Delhi Ganesh appeared in other pivotal roles. The film was released on 17 September 1999 and faced a poor commercial response.[1]

Plot

Cast

Production

The film was first announced in April 1998.[2] It marked Mohan's return to acting, following a sabbatical since Uruvam (1991),[3] and is his directorial debut.[4] This was supposed to be the acting debut for one of the lead actresses Megha; however Guru Paarvai was released first.[5] The film was noted by some media to share a similar storyline to several other Tamil films which released during the same period. Jodi (1999), Minsara Kanna (1999) and Poovellam Kettuppar (1999) all had familiar plots.[6]

Soundtrack

Soundtrack was composed by Deva.[7][8]

Release

The film caused massive losses for Mohan, who went back into his sabbatical from films after the film's release but still opted only to play the lead role in films, turning down an offer to appear as Jayam Ravi's father in Unakkum Enakkum.[9]

Reception

Dinakaran wrote, "Mohan has left the cinegoers spellbound through his one-man show and artful handling of such varied jobs like acting, story creation, production and direction!".[10] D. S. Ramanujam of The Hindu wrote, "As a director, Mohan does a fair job, keeping the spark of interest from flickering out but the lack of depth in screenplay and punch in the dialogue fritter his efforts away".[11] Sify wrote, "Those who want to see Mohan can do so but otherwise the film offers nothing new".[12]
