Plot


Ranganathan (Nassar) is a very ugly man and therefore lives a tough life. He is kicked out of jobs, gets ill-treated constantly, and the girl he loves hates him. Then one day, Rangan goes to the house. With the Mask, Rangan generates followers, becomes a film star, and his new wife Malini (Roja) loves him solely for his handsome face. Nearing the end, Rangan takes off the Mask for a moment and expects that people would respect him for who he is on the inside. His wife walks in, sees his ugly face, and throws him out, mistaking him for a robber. Rangan's former followers throw him to the side. Deciding that only beauty can bring him respect, Rangan puts the mask back on and lives the life of an actor.


Cast



Release


A critic felt that "The storyline would be excellent to read in a novel, but the reality in film is incredibly slow-paced and implausible." and "that the actors do the best with what they have, but the result is still a very boring long drawn-out masterpiece gone horribly wrong."[2]

The film did poorly at the box office and was played on television within 2 weeks of release.[3] Post-release, Nassar mentioned that the role had seemed interesting when it was first narrated to him, but as the project progressed he lost interest and just followed the director's instructions.[4]
