Freudian work in Kollywood?

Marupiravi (Reincarnation, மறுபிறவி, Tamil; 1973)
Cases studies in psychology are fertile stories for the silver screens. What is more credible than when there is plausible and scientific (or pseudoscientific, if you are from the Church of Scientology) explanation for all of human's follies and deficiencies. Many of Hitchcockian thrillers are of this nature.
This Tamil film boasts of being the first in the genre of 'erotic psychological thriller'. Unfortunately, it fell flat in its endeavour on the thriller part but ended up as a sort social drama with a social message to make public aware that there exist a branch of medicine which could solve marital problems and not to dwell in unproven mumbo jumbo like witchcraft and magic.

Dr Abraham Thomas Kovoor (1898-1978)

All psychologists must look like this?

The story was produced by Dr Abraham Thomas Kovoor from his case files and even makes a cameo appearance as the introducer and as a psychiatrist in the movie.  Dr Kuvoor is a Professor from Kerala who spent his post retirement age in newly indépendant Ceylon, teaching botany. He practised hypnotherapy and applied psychology. He was an active member in a movement of realists. He had a bone to pick with God-men of India, especially Satya Sri Satya Baba. He repeatedly confronted him on his ability to materialise vibhuti from thin air. Unfortunately, Sai Baba had dodged his direct confrontations. A reward for Rs 100,000 by him in 1963 to anybody who could perform an unexplainable supernatural act is still unclaimed.
This story is a remake of a Malayalam version and in keeping its audience happy, the director had decided to put a family feel to it. Hence, the crux of the subject matter of the story only happens to the third quarter of the movie.
A lecturer, Elango, (Muthuraman) is smitten by his student (Manjula) as he starts teaching Tamil Literature in a new college. The students starts heckling their relationship. They decide to tie the knot with the approval of her father, a single parent Asokan. After many love duets and running around the parks and beaches, 4 years pass and the father and relatives long for a heir.
Then start the work of religious men and prayers to appease the stars and spirits.
Only later do the couple make it clear that consummation was never possible as the Elango just freezes out after being aroused. Things becomes more complicated when he is caught in bed with his maid!
Slowly the couple make it to Dr Kuvoor's clinic. Only then it is discovered that the lecturer grew up morbidly attached to his mother. He lost his father at an extremely young age. Even though his mother had passed away, he still chose a girl remarkably similar in features to his mother to be eternally close to his mother! Unfortunately when it came to conjugal activities, his unconscious mind just could live up to having sexual relations with that figure!
With the help of the psychologist, the couple managed to have a successful married life.

“He who does not allow his miracles to be investigated is a crook; he who does not have the courage to investigate a miracle is gullible; and he who is prepared to believe without verification is a fool.” A. T. Kovoor
