Kamal Haasan and Sridevi with the cast and crew of Kalyanaraman (1979).
Released on 6 July 1979, ie 44 years ago today, the Tamil comedy was a massive commercial success, running in theatres for 140 days. It was remade in Hindi as Ghazab (1982) and in Kannada as Sriramachandra (1992).
Six years after the release, a sequel titled Japanil Kalyanaraman was made with almost the same cast and crew - except for the notable absence of Sridevi. Her arch rival Radha reprised the role of the leading lady. The sequel however, was a huge flop.
