Orange Mittai

I was so unlucky that I missed this movie in theatres. Was waiting badly to watch this movie after seeing a few scenes on TV. Thank God, Netflix made it possible. Yaay, I watched it. I should say this is one of the sweetest films I've ever seen. This is not your regular masala movie. This is a brave experiment that needs to be appreciated. The beauty of the story lies in its simplicity. All the characters have played their part very well. Cinematography was top notch. Vijay sethupathi as usual lived his character. This is the first time he had played a character of an aged person. No wonder this man is liked by all. Director Biju's narration needs a special mention. The director has made it clear to keep the narration as natural as possible avoiding all possible cliches. The scene where Kailasam (Vijay sethupathi) gets down from the auto and starts dancing on the road in the middle of the night was a treat to watch. Quirky dialogues ensured every character had their own depth. Ramesh Thilak needs a special mention. His role as a paramedic will be one of his best. Watch it if you like feel good cinema. You won't regret. I have added this film to my list of favourites and will watch it whenever I want to feel light. Orange mittai tasted good. Real good. Thanks to the entire crew of "Orange Mittai". You made my day :-)

The protagonist doesn't have his partner to grow old together as his wife expired long ago. The pain of loneliness results in mood swings of the protagonist. All he needs is a company. The drama he creates often for that and the mood swings of him leads the story. It doesn't matter what the world thinks about his personality, the scene when he stops the auto and dances on the road literally tells me how liberating it would have felt for Protagonist to have someone to care him and share his feelings. I have watched this movie 6 times and every time it gave mea different feel.

Film is amazing . The films connects us to film. Vijay Sethupathi and Thilak's acting is awesome , a must watch film . it's one of the gem of indian art film industry. The cinematography, direction and editing was done by Biju Viswanath which was amazing

Vijay Sethupathi know to take up a few unconventional roles and driven his career in path thats often ignored - In Orange Mittai albeit he looks a tad healthier than a 55 year old ( I may be wrong here - a lot of village men are healthier than their urban counterparts) - Kailasam, short-tempered, egoistic man is played in an utmost nonchalantly manner - by Vijay . Kudos!! the story of a father and son ( father of a different son & son of a different father) both looking for love, affection and respect is a great thought .Directed by Biju Viswanath ,Orange Mittai might not appeal to the so called 'mass' audience - The film is a close real-life experience, if the viewer has come across similar characters in their lives if not be one of them - Ramesh Thilak, has been equally good in a character sandwiched in emotions ranging from job frustrations, helplessness with his love interest - many scenes albeit not intended to be a comedy, will make you chuckle - like the one in the hospital, when the doctor speaks loudly to VijaySethupathi, after a long stare tells him politely that he is not deaf... is so true. overall the movie is worth a praise - Biju has proved his excellence in cinematography that creates the mood and the narration - watch it !!

If you really love your dad and you are not living with him am damn sure that you will call him and talk or you will go and meet him after watching this movie. Human relationships are very important than anything in this world this movie made us understand that in a subtle manner thanks to director Biju for giving this movie
