Master of all arts) is a 1982 Indian Tamil-language masala film directed by S. P. Muthuraman and written by Panchu Arunachalam.

Some time later, Ramaiah and Parvathi attend a New Year's Eve party and meet the former's old friend Sundaram, a US-returned businessman with his children Sam and Bobby (actually Velu and Valli in disguise).

Both the marriages take place and later that night, Sam and Bobby reveal their true identities to their new spouses.

Parvathi and her family try to end the marriage, but Ramaiah warns them of dire consequences and tells them to live together amicably.

He convinces Pazhani to bring Valli to an isolated bungalow and once they both enter, he sets the house on fire.

AVM Productions made the film to prove that Kamal Haasan was a "Master of all arts", keeping with the title Sakalakala Vallavan, which translates to the same.

[9] The song "Illamai Idho Idho" was shot in a large king's court set created for a Kannada film, after suitable modifications by art director Chalam to show it as a five star hotel making it look like it has five sets.

[14] The climax fight involving a burning building was shot in a set built at the eighth floor of AVM Studios in three days with three cameras.

[16] Sakalakala Vallavan follows the "taming of the shrew" paradigm that was popular in Tamil cinema as early as the 1960s: "the city-bred girl making fun of the rustic and the latter turning the tables on her".

[16] In June 2013, A. Muthusamy of Honey Bee Music enhanced the songs from their original version on the film's soundtrack album to 5.1 surround sound.

[25] The movie was dubbed into Telugu as Palleturi Simham and lyrics were written by Rajashri Sakalakala Vallavan was released on 14 August 1982.

[26] The magazine Ananda Vikatan, in a review dated 5 September 1982, rated the film 42 out of 100, saying it would most probably collect the highest money and run for many days for the commercial masala offered to the audience and grand making.

[27] Thiraignani of Kalki praised Haasan's fights and dance, V. K. Ramasamy's comedy, Babu's cinematography and concluded calling the film as "Kalakala Vallavan".

[34] Sakalakala Vallavan widened Kamal Haasan's audience base from the "classes" to a hero of the "masses".

Sudhir Srinivasan of The Hindu noted that both films were "about a gold-hearted villager and his taming of an urban woman".
