What happens

Oru Nadigai Natakam Parkiral (transl. An Actress Witnesses a Play) is a 1978 Indian Tamil-language romance film directed by A. Bhimsingh and written by Jayakanthan. Based on Jayakanthan's 1971 novel of the same name, the film stars Srikanth and Lakshmi, with Y. G. P., Nagesh, Thengai Srinivasan, and Mahendran in supporting roles. It revolves around a couple whose marriage is threatened by their differing views on life and people. Oru Nadigai Natakam Parkiral was released on 30 June 1978, a posthumous release for Bhimsingh who died in January the same year. Though the film was not well received by the audience, it received acclaim from critics, and Lakshmi won the Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Actress. It was screened at the International Film Festival of India in 1979. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
