Sarpatta parambarai

I will start with the negative first, What I have felt negative is caste related dialogues. Ranjith should try to reduce the caste related dialogues. Its not the first movie, each and every movie he is doing the same. Except that movie is fantastic and Must watch movie. Below my opinion about this fantastic movie.

One more rocking performance from Arya after Mahamuni. Arya is brilliant as Kabilan and this is definitely one of his top-class performances. Arya is an absolute delight to watch when he is inside the boxing ring. His physical fitness has definitely added more authenticity to the film. However, he looks a little lesser intense in some emotionally charged sequences. Pasupathy is an actor par excellence and he manages to fit into any given character. Pasupathy, as a mentor figure is highly impressive and it is a treat to watch him perform. John Kokken, as Vembuli, strikes well with the action moves. He doesn't have major scope to emote, but with actions, he scores full marks.

Dushara Vijayan, as Mariyamma, the female lead, is promising and it looks like Ranjith has spotted another talented actor. Dushara (as Mariyamma) emotes really well when she tries to strike a chord with her husband. Kalaiyarasan leaves a good impact with the limited scope that he gets. John Vijay did his best as anglo Indian. None of the movie, director use him properly. Its one of the best movie for him after Mouna Guru. GM Sundar, Anupama Kumar, Santhosh Prathap, and others play their part well. One of my fav role in this movie is Shabeer Kallarakkal as DANCING ROSE - what an extraordinary character and what a transformation by the actor to play the role. The casting equation is fantastic and due credits to Ranjith and team for picking the right set of actors. After you finish watching the film, it feels like all the actors have lived in their respective roles.

Santhosh Narayanan's musical score is one of the biggest strengths of Sarpatta Parambarai. His powerful scores during the boxing matches elevate the energy to a different level. 'Neeye Oli' is great.

Sarpatta Parambarai definitely deserves a watch and it will definitely make your time worth it. Watch it for the awe-inspiring dedication of Arya and the effective execution of Pa Ranjith.

Sarpatta Parambarai - My review After the immensely disappointing experience with Jagame Thandhiram I did not have high hopes for Sarpatta Parambarai. I assumed Pa. Ra would have undergone the post-Rajni movie disorientation that Ka. Su went through. Pa. Ra proves otherwise, and I did not regret a minute of watching SarPar.

While I was growing up in a small town, there used to be kabaddi tournaments (much before street cricket took over). A rough game that kept many like me away from playing, but we used to enjoy the watching experience. SarPar brings alive that nostalgia. There is this unabashed nativity about this movie with no pretention, that makes you sit up and say 'That's what I wanna watch Bugga'.

Here the sport is boxing, which is not played in most of South India. Yet Pa. Ra has creates a convincing experience, which makes you sit for close to 3 hours, with occasional difficulties.

The storyline is nothing creative. But the premise and the characters are. The movie opens up and goes on till it sets the stage for what is coming, and only then the title slide comes up. By then, you are either bought in to the plot or you are logging out. There is no in-between.

The screen-time of the key characters as compared to the protagonist says it all. It is not a movie about one man. It is about the sport, pride, the clan and the place. Daddy (John Vijay) and Dancing Rose (Shabeer) deserve a loud applause. A memorable role for Pasupathi after a long while.

Arya shines with his sincere effort. Arguably his best so far, though his voice fails him yet again. Every other character is worth mentioning. The boxers' references and the research behind their styles are impressive. Very few Tamil directors succeed in that.

This movie is not without its flaws. It has many. Make no mistakes, this is an out and out mass entertainer.

• Looks like it is an unwritten rule (since Rocky or even before) that sports movies should show the routine done-to-death workout sessions where the protagonist turns around from a paunch wielding (fake one though) uncle to 7 packs (or whatever, I lost count) athlete.

• And that 'slo-mo' for the climax fight was totally unnecessary. The fights in the first half were raw and real.

• Why should Pa. Ra's strong women be screaming all the while? Every time Arya's (Anupama Kumar) mom comes on screen I could feel my ears bleeding. This woman's shrill voice is deadlier than Vembuli's (John Kokken) punches.

• The decibel levels of all the characters are unnecessarily high. Everyone is screaming all the time. Anupama still stands out.

These flaws, in no way come in the way of the pace of the movie. SarPar is likely to be an everyday topic for many days to come. A must watch.

Pa. Ranjith Direction 🔥🔥 Arya, Kalaiyarasan, Dushara, Pasupathy, John Vijay, Dancing Rose, Amma Character Acting Level 🔥🔥 Vera Level Casting , Art Work 🔥😍😍😍

Don't just have minimalistic idea about this has to do with two rivals and they box.... Its beyond the scope of protagonist and its rival

The movie touches and cultivates feelings had by every one around the boxers and not only them .... Best flick to pass time (though you know how that ends like any other boxing movies)

From start till the end, eventhough the run time is 2.53 hrs, we are being hooked on to the movie like we are a part of the 'Black Town' area from SARPATTA PARAMBARAI. I wonder when some masala directors say that the realistic movies will be appreciated only by geniuses not the majority movie goers. Well this movie proves that those words are absolutely wrong! Writing, Casting, Production, Cinematography, Dialogues, Direction and all the other technical aspects deserve all my ovation! Hats off!
