7/G Rainbow Colony

Best movie of selvaraghavan and one of the best love story in tamil

"7G Rainbow Colony" is a masterpiece that significantly broadened my perspective on love. This Tamil film, directed by Selvaraghavan, masterfully captures the raw and unfiltered emotions that come with young love.

The story revolves around Kathir, played by Ravi Krishna, and Anita, portrayed by Sonia Agarwal. Kathir's character is deeply flawed, yet his journey of transformation is both relatable and heart-wrenching. Despite the disturbing scene where Kathir peeks at Anita through the window, the film beautifully redeems itself by showcasing the depth of his love and the lengths he's willing to go for it.

The songs and background music, composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja, are nothing short of phenomenal. Yuvan's music seamlessly blends with the narrative, enhancing every emotion and moment in the film. The soundtrack is a perfect mix of soulful melodies and energetic tracks, each resonating with the audience and adding layers to the storytelling.

Overall, "7G Rainbow Colony" is a poignant exploration of love, redemption, and personal growth. It's a film that stays with you long after the credits roll, thanks to its powerful performances, compelling narrative, and exceptional music. Highly recommended but not suitable for this current generation.

Verdict: Wonderful Wonderful!! 2 Thumbs Up! Beautiful directorial venture by Selvaraghavan, excellent sequences based on a true story starring a new hero and Sonia Aggarwal.

What's New: Real Life story really moves the audience. We get to feel the pain that must have been experienced by the director in his real life that has been portrayed really well on the reels. Hero is a real loser.. the way his talent is brought out and fear is extinguished is really notable.

Saw it on: Antony, Fun Asia Theaters, Dallas

Noticeable: Daring Bedroom sequence by Sonia, really natural performance in all scenes. Much improved performance by Sonia, excellent music. Stereotyped hero by Selvaraghavan? Also, Sonia is so great because she plays a north Indian girl in Tamilnadu. Really natural performances.

Story is fairly simple, there is a local rowdy good for nothing boy, fell in love with a cultured girl. Somehow, that girl also started liking the guy, and gave him a direction in life. And there are complications as this boy is not earning, girl is engaged, parents are against their love, etc. This movie reminded me 'Ek duje ke liye', which is more or less on the same lines.

What really pulled of this movie out of 100 similar movie is script and performance. Overall narration of the movie is top notch, there are a few well crafted incidences which takes the cake. Ravi Krishna (Kadhir) and Sonia (Anitha) have given a solid performance. Full marks to Ravi Krishna, I was convince to some extend this guy must be a roadside goon only in his real life as well.

There are some flaws in technicality and originality of the script, but perfect characterization overshadow it completely. Selvaraghavan built the characters so well in the first half that in second half, you might laugh and cry together with them. In fact, I had goose bumps in last hospital scene, although I watched it with English subtitles.

This is one of the movie which grows upon you, and before you know it you're in it. Take away - must watch

I did not hear about this movie until 2007. While browsing some websites, I read that the songs of this movie were good, that lead me to read the reviews of the movie. The reviews sounded nice. But what attracted me to download the movie for seeing was the face of the hero, which was totally non-hero like. I thought, how can a film with such a hero be a hit? That question led me to see the movie.

The movie is about a normal next door boy Kadhir (Ravi Krishna) in the lower-middle class household, who is not so good looking, dull, irresponsible youth, poor in studies, rowdy, playful, mischievous, etc. A girl Anitha (Sonia Agrawal) comes to stay in the neighborhood at 7G Rainbow Colony (that is why the name) and Kadhir starts liking her. Anitha hates Kadhir and slippers him once while he approaches her in a bus. As events turn out, Anitha starts liking Kadhir, but wants Kadhir to be responsible in life before she marries him. She motivates Kadhir to take a job. Anitha's marriage is fixed, and before marriage she decides to spend a night with Kadhir. Sadly on the way back, they fight and in an accident Anita dies.

The story is very well written. It has numerous small incidents of youthful play that would immediately click with any person. The direction is extremely efficient. It does not divert into any sub-plots and focuses on the issues of youth and love.

Director Selvaraghavan shows brilliant skills in handling and conveying his thoughts in the best possible way to his audiences. Very few directors can boast of achieving such a close grip on the narration.

Sonia Agrawal looks beautiful and acts wonderfully. She truly depicts the emotions and her character sticks to your heart. Ravi Krishna is good, but I think he can do only some things under a watchful director, otherwise he remains blank face in all scenes.

There are so many touching moments in the movie that it is hard to pick out one, but I did – I found the scene when Kadhir tells about his job to his father and that night when his father and mother talk about how proud they are feeling about their son. I think it was a brilliantly executed scene.

The music and songs are good and hummable. I can imagine them being popular when the film was released. The camera-work, cinematography, the down to earth real life characters – all make a good movie.

At the end I became a fan of the director Selvaraghavan. I liked Sonia Agrawal too – and searching the web discovered that just a year back, She and Selvaraghavan got married.
