Marupadiyam

Any Balu Mahendra film for that matter, won't be just another film. Of course, this film is a remake. But you could see Balu Mahendra in every frame.

Cinematography is as usual excellent. Music by Ilaiyaraaja will stir your heart.

I won't call this a true art film. For in some way it does have commercial elements.

Revathy, Rohini, Aravind Swamy and Ravi played important roles. All were just fantastic! Personally I liked Aravind Swamy the most. Balu has once again scored in direction.

Many films may become successful at box office. But only few films remain in our heart. Balu('s) Marupadiyum enters your heart!

Balu mahendra, a man who loves silence and sceneries made another picture that sings.

The movie contain not so much bgms to be chord with, it has its own rhythm, that even exposes the breathings of the characters to be recorded in a perfect manner. A crystal writing the music is, Ilayaraja fans loved it, and it goes with our generation also.

Story wise the portrayal of the woman, makes sensational but a decent choice in her life, that gives a positive impression to us surprisingly. But the impulsive characters had their own cruel endings which as we desired to be.

There are many Hollywood directors who took a commercial story line and made it groomed with psychological aspects of various class people's views who belongs to different cultures. Like Woody allen, won several oscars just for distinguished few stories between a husband and wife and their family.

Similar to him, we can find Balu mahendra's movies in the same row. The writing touches with peculiar dialogues, even now in tamil cinema's havent made a better impact than Balu's.

Tamil audience can see that the way he potraits him self and his own life story in few of his films, just like how woody did. And for a Artist it is inevitable to make films without their personal touch. So through these films we can grab what would have happened to the director in the past.

Balu has a very vast understanding on the world and its colors, yet he wasn't cherished enough and this movie is a chance to give another go with future generations.
