Plot


Rahul (Ramankanth) lives a miserable existence – he is ill-treated by his superficial step-mother (Sharmila's aunt), and largely ignored by his meek father.
His world brightens when he attends pop singer Monisha's (Mumtaj) concert. He falls in love with her and pursues her by wooing her over the phone. Monisha, who hates men and the concept of love itself, initially resists his advances. However, his relentless efforts bear fruit and she agrees to meet him in person. Tragedy strikes when Rahul meets with an accident on the way over and dies. The movie hinges on whether Monisha will ever get to meet her lover.


Cast



Production


The song Tholaipesi Enna was shot at a grand budget of 10 million, but the film had troubles after floods in Chennai washed away a set erected on the banks of the Cooum. During the production of the film, the film was renamed from Monisha to Monisha En Monalisa due to astrological reasons.[2] The film had begun production as a trilingual in Tamil, Hindi and Telugu, and Rajender cast local actors for the Hindi version. Hindi television actor Raman Trikha was renamed Ramankanth for the Tamil version, while actors including Rahul Saxena, Ravi Kiran, Kunika, and Kalpana Iyer were signed to play roles.[3]


Soundtrack


Soundtrack was written and composed by T. Rajendar. The title song of the film is based on "María" by Ricky Martin.[4]
