SABAPATHY

A rich, happy-go-lucky young man lives with his faithful man-servant. The young man gets married to a well-to-do woman who is more educated than him, and she changes him to a more responsible person.

Made in the early period of Tamil-language cinema, which had been dominated by mythological and patriotic stories, this comedy riot paved the way for other features in the genre, thanks to its enormous box-office success. A beloved classic centered on the goofy antics of two men with the same name.
