What happens
Pattikada Pattanama (transl. Village or Town?) is a 1972 Indian Tamil-language romantic comedy film produced and directed by P. Madhavan and written by Bala Murugan. The film stars Sivaji Ganesan and Jayalalithaa. The film deals with Kalpana, an urban woman who marries a villager Mookaiyan. After marriage, differences of opinion arise between the couple as Mookaiyan raises objections about city culture, leading to their separation. The rest of the film is whether Kalpana reforms and the couple reunite or not. Pattikada Pattanama is based on the William Shakespeare comedy The Taming of the Shrew. It was released on 6 May 1972. The film was commercially successful, running for over 175 days in theatres, thereby becoming a silver jubilee film. It is the only black and white Tamil film to cross the ₹1 crore (US$100,000) mark in collections in the history of Tamil cinema. It also won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Tamil, and two Filmfare Awards South: Best Film – Tamil and Best Actress – Tamil (Jayalalithaa). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
