Mangamma Sabadham is a 1985 Indian Tamil-language masala film, directed by K. Vijayan and produced by K. Balaji, starring Kamal Haasan, Sujatha, Madhavi and Sathyaraj. It is a remake of the 1984 Hindi film Kasam Paida Karne Wale Ki.[1] The film was released on 21 September 1985.[2]
Ashok is raised to be a stuttering, frightened coward by his cruel uncle Bhoopathy. When Mangamma and her cohorts learn that he is unmarried, she works her way into his mother's heart and marries him. But when she learns about his ill-treatment at the hands of his uncle, his plight changes her heart and she decides to stay on. But Bhoopathy reveals her initial plan of absconding with the money and drives her out. When Ashok runs to join her, Bhoopathy kills him. Mangamma is thought to be dead but she survives and raises her son Raja to be a fearless young man well-versed in fighting, dancing, etc. Once he learns the story, he, along with his girlfriend Radha, settles scores with Bhoopathy and his son Jaipal.
The music was composed by Shankar–Ganesh.[3] [4] For the Malayalam-dubbed version Randum Randum Anchu, all lyrics were written by Poovachal Khader.[5] [6]
Jayamanmadhan of Kalki appreciated the film for Haasan and Sathyaraj's performances in the first half, but the post-interval portions were like a jeep running on railway tracks.[7]
