Moondram Pirai... Sadma... Sridevi... The third crescent moon...

 



Written and directed by Balu Mahendra, Moondram Pirai / Sadma was a grand moment in Indian film history. But also, significantly for cinema lovers, the cinematography of the film was also by Balu Mahendra. There are innumerable simple, gorgeous shots laced throughout the film where every frame is so beautifully and poetically shot.  

Sridevi's finest hours in Moondram Pirai  i.e. the third crescent were captured so beautifully.... 

A film that needs to be seen in every decade of your life as you understand its multitudinous layers.
