Can someone identify the movie this clip is from?

Prior to Dr. Padma Subramaniam's interprettation of karaNa's to be units of movements based on her study of the nATyaSAstra, Ms. Swarnamukhi used to amaze audiences with her gymnastic athleticism and stationary karaNas, hall marks of the style that she learnt from her guru and father. I think this is a clip of hers. The actor picturized is Sri Jayasankar and the violinist is the late Kunnakudi Sri Vaidyanathan.

Kunnakkudi is quite young looking as does Vijayakumar. Must be an early movie. I guess it could be
'vA rAja vA' as i surmise form this writeup

vA rAjA vA is a movie from 1969. The color of this movie looks like late 70s. More over the actress getting married to vijaykumar in this scene is Sarita. She was not there in the 60s. She made her debut in KB's marOcharitrA opposite to Kamalahasan which was in 1979.

Note: The guy in the sardArji attire is Sivakumar (father of muscle man SuryA). So this movie could oru veLLADu vEngaiyAgiradhu (1980). Ref: http://www.cinesouth.com/cgi-bin/filmog ... cgi?id=310

I couldn't find any movie other than this with all three: Sivakumar, Vijayakumar and Sarita.
