![]() ![]() We do not know how an Amman movie would be received by today’s generation, but we doubt they would never watch them with the same bhaya bhakthi (fear) with which we had watched them in our childhood. We also take a look at a few of the best and notable movies in this category/genre. With Mookuthi Amman receicing lukewarm response from the audience, we revisit how Amman movies (or devotional movies as a whole) created a niche for themselves and how they were celebrated back in those days. Gone are those days when we had movies like Thiruvilayadal, Saraswathi Sabadham, Kandhan Karunai, Thiruvarutchelvar, etc. Even today, it is hard for any Tamil person to not place Sivaji Ganesan’s face for Lord Sivan. It was instrumental in putting a face to our favourite gods. There was a time when Tamil cinema churned out great devotional content that took Hindu mythology and stories to the masses.
