.. For the newbies incase they are wondering what I am yapping about...well RetroReel is all about discussing movies ...so if some body is interested in talking about some specific movie PM me or write on this thread and we can do that . 
The film follows an unnamed, almost penniless and unemployed youth (played by Kamal Haasan) whose fortunes change when he stumbles upon a drunk millionaire by the roadside. He takes the millionaire prisoner in his house and assumes his identity to taste the luxury of a five-star hotel (actually shot at Windsor Manor Hotel, Bangalore). In the process, he falls in love with a magician's daughter (Amala). He uses his false identity to enjoy a romantic day with her. Meanwhile, a contract killer is sent after the millionaire who engages in repeated failed attempts to kill Kamal with knives made of ice, mistaking him for the millionaire. Finally, after seeing the millionaire's wife lamenting over her missing husband and witnessing, among other incidents, a montage of photos showing the humble beginnings and the rise to fame of the recently deceased hotel owner) that show him a different perspective on life, Kamal decides to give up his new-found luxury.
In the much-acclaimed ending, Kamal frees the millionaire and seeks to make amends by warning him about his treacherous friend and his adulterous wife. He also confesses everything to the magician's daughter who, much to his surprise, tells him that she still likes him and throws a rose attached to a note (presumably her contact details) to him from her car as she leaves the city. However, a gust of wind blows the note down a sewage drain, implying that the two never unite.
In the end, Kamal once again stands in a long queue for a job with minimum vacancies, as he did in the beginning of the film, but with a new determination in his eyes.
