Transcription

Plot

Ganeshan and Ethiraj are best friends and colleagues. Ethiraj is a widower and an alcoholic while Ganeshan is married and has a sister and a brother. Ganeshan does not earn enough and borrows from Ethiraj and Rowthar, a Muslim man who runs a grocery shop, frequently.

A misunderstanding arises when Ethiraj's mother proposes marriage between Ganeshan's sister and Ethiraj, leading to a rift in their friendship. He challenges that he would get his sister married in a pompous manner.

However, the groom's family is behind dowry. The mother of the groom runs the family tyrannically. How Ganeshan struggles to make ends meet with many subplots makes it an interesting movie to watch.

In the end, with help from many people, he gets his sister married, only for his own sister to ask him about the remainder of the dowry thereby denoting the cycle of dowry will forever continue.

Release and reception

Dowry Kalyanam was released on 1 July 1983.[4] Kalki praised the performances of Visu, Nambiar and Srividya while also praising Visu for his direction and avoiding the influence of making it look like a stage play but panned Viswanathan's music.[5]

Censorship controversies

Visu mentioned that the censor board wanted 87 cuts for the film as they were not impressed with the portrayal of the character Rowther (M. N. Nambiar) speaking in Hindi mixed with Tamil because Rowthers speak pure Tamil. Visu had to come up with the scene where he explains about his portrayal.[6]
