However as he has only the hotel name and room number, he clearly doesn’t know that he is attempting to kill the wrong man. The role of the assassin is played by Tinnu Anand who throws himself into the role and seems to have a great time stalking his target. The two are having an affair and we learn that the best friend has hired an assassin to get rid of the husband for good. And I love the way they serve breakfast in the hotel.Ĭlever shots of photographs in both the hotel room and the millionaire’s home allow us to identify the millionaire’s wife, to whom he appears devoted and the millionaire’s best friend, who appears to be devoted to the millionaire’s wife. Kamal Hassan is perfect in his indecision as he tries bread sticks, then some nuts and finally cannot decide which chocolate bar to eat – too much choice for someone who has been used to no choice at all. He sleeps in the millionaire’s room, eats his food and uses his cash to buy smart new clothes.
Kamal Hassan decides to kidnap the unfortunate millionaire and carries him back to his meagre apartment where he restrains and gags the unconscious man (although he does thoughtfully turn on the fan), and then heads off to Hotel Pushpak where he assumes the millionaires identity. By chance, he comes across an alcoholic millionaire (Sameer Khakhar) lying at the side of the road and recognises him from an earlier encounter near the Hotel Pushpak. He lives in a one-roomed apartment on the roof of his building, and spends his days wandering around the streets unsuccessfully looking for work. The story centres on an unemployed graduate played by Kamal Hassan. Presumably inspired by the early silent films from the start of the last century, director Singeetham Srinivasa Rao has included plenty of situational and physical comedy but Pushpak manages to be a compelling, if somewhat moralistic drama at the same time. Although made in 1987, Pushpak is a silent film with no dialogue. However there is background noise and a very funky soundtrack.
