Pattathu Arasan

I never wrote any review in IMDB. Today I couldn't go without writing one after I saw the current IMDb rating of this movie. So unjustified.

Don't try to find logic behind every movies story. Sometimes you should listen what story the movie wants to tell, what message the movie wants to give. This movie is heartwarming. This movie is all about giving you heart full message of the value, the importance of a family.

Every actors and actresses gave their best. Cinematography, story telling, music I enjoyed every seconds of this movie.

Every person who were involved in this movie should be proud of this movie, I know they are. This is one of the best movies of Tamil film industry.

"Pattathu Arasan" is a heart-warming and inspiring tale of a family's resilience and determination to overcome adversity. The movie tells the story of a family in a village in India who face condemnation and ostracism from their community when their grandson is falsely accused of taking a bribe to not play in the village's kabaddi team. After their grandson tragically takes his own life due to the depression caused by the false accusations, the family decides to revive their family's name by forming their own kabaddi team and competing against the village team.

The movie is a well-crafted sports drama that showcases the power of determination and perseverance. The family's struggles and triumphs are portrayed with great emotional depth, and the film's message about the importance of familial unity and trust is both powerful and poignant. The kabaddi matches themselves are thrilling and intense, and the film does an excellent job of building tension and excitement throughout.

The performances in the movie are outstanding, with the entire cast delivering nuanced and convincing portrayals of their characters. The lead actors in particular, deliver standout performances, bringing both intensity and vulnerability to their roles. The music and cinematography are also noteworthy, adding to the overall emotional impact of the film.

Overall, "Pattathu Arasan" is a moving and inspiring film that will leave audiences feeling uplifted and motivated. It is a must-watch for fans of sports dramas and those who appreciate emotional and well-crafted storytelling.

So basically the hero's dad only obeys his father (played by Raj kiran) and he doesn't respect or heed his own wife's(Raadika) advice to not go out in the middle of night to play kabadi like that (especially when he got woken in the middle of sleep by his father). But he goes because he "has to obey his father". I understand he is in a joint family, but can't he think for himself and for his wife and child? Well he plays kabadi and dies in the game.

Then the hero's cousin also dies because of kabadi, not even 10 mins later the hero motivates the whole family to play kabadi. His mother rightfully says no for him to play but he emotionally blackmails her by attempting suicide??!? So she agrees.

What is this movie?? I think if they gave up on this game and instead focused on nurturing their relationships and improving their communication would have been much better family movie.

I started watching this movie because of Atharvaa, who is selective in movies and delivered some good ones. But this one lacks, a solid story line, pathetic performances from the characters, dull songs (Ghibran is the music director), no thrills. Atharvaa was okay, but Raj Kiran as usual same level of acting as we have seen in his all movies. Watched in Netflix, yet am wondering why they cashed out for this pathetic movie. I didn't expect from A. Sarkunam who has delivered some mind blowing movies in his career like Kalavani and Vaagai Sooda Vaa. He should be improving his writing skills rather than coming out with a half baked movies.

Much avoidable movie

1.5 on 10.
