7/G Rainbow Colony

There have been many movies more greater than this one, and i too have seen most of them. But this is one of the very very very very few ones that i can never forget in my life.

I am not connected to this movie in any means. But the fact that this movie reflects the larger part of the teens(BOYS) in tamil nadu (or even India), is the magic binding that pulls the audiences and stays in their heart as long as they remember their teenage life. I watched this movie on my first semester of my college. In fact this is the first of the many movies that i watched bunking college. I not a gud guy, neither as bad as the hero of this movie. But i like to stay away from the typical rich, western minded, fashion freakish, academic geeks and guys who even think speakin in their mother tongue is low class. But i did my BE in one of the top ten premier engineering institutes in India(CEG). But me and my gang are not bookies. We loved this movie so much right from the first time we saw it.

The hero is simply the best and the worst character of the movie. His portrayal as the one who leads his life as he wants, with no rules, not caring anything but himself, with loyal friends, sincere & middle class family is nothing strange to our country lads( well!! most of them, including me). But that is all that is known to the society.

But what this movie tells extra is the daring punch line, but very much a needed one to our lads. The hero is worse than the average teen. He crossed the danger line and became nothing but a load of useless crap in the society. Then he sees the elixir of his life. A young girl of course!!!

what happens rest is one of the most extra ordinary story ever made, between a completely opposite boy and a girl, against all the odds, against all the rules of love,life and success. It will make even the most purest,brainiest, ingenious,bookish boy out there, to want to have a life like the hero of the story.

In a line, this movie if out of the book, totally against the rules, made for the ones who haven't tasted success, to triumph in life. And a knock out blow to the ones who think only their way succeeds.

Its justifies in every sense, the phrase - "Transformation of a boy to a man". And who better to do that than a woman. To put in another way, this movie is the story of a boy(bad one) who gets the treatment of a stray dog in the society to the successful man ,who every one silently admires in their life with all the respect.

"When u have a woman behind your life, that life is sure gonna rock. And u r the king of it." - This movie tells u that.

But, not just that. "Life is not that easy, we have to fight & win every challenge that it wants us to face". Its here the climax comes. A tragedy that will break all hearts, right at the moment where no one wanted. But thats life!!!!!!!

All in all!! This movie is a must see for every boy out there, to understand what life actually is, and to conquer it. I can never forget this movie coz, like many out there, i feel this movie is made for me!!

10/10. U will be disturbed after coming out from the movie.

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

The story goes like this. Ravi Krishna, the elder son of Vijayan is an irresponsible youth, who bunks classes, fails in his exams, go behind girls and freaks out with his friends. Upon ridiculed by his father, he picks up a fight with him. At this moment enters Sonia Agrawal. Her family (a North-Indian one) takes up the flat 7G in the Rainbow Colony. As usual Ravikrishna like any other youngster in the area tries to impress her. He repeatedly goes behind her and cuts her name on his hand and tries to impress her with greeting cards and letters. But everything is futile.

He develops an inferiority complex and goes into a shell. Upon realizing his sorry fate, Sonia steps in to solve all his problems. She motivates him to come up in life and helps him find a job. The latter half is all about Sonia Agrawal falling in love with Ravi Krishna and her efforts to hold his hands in support. However, a series of events in their lives finally separate them and that makes the heroine to take a momentous decision in her life.

Debutant Ravi Krishna, son of producer A M Ratnam, plays the hero. He fits the next-door boy image very well and considering that it is his debut film, he needs a special pat for his performance.

Be it flirting behind the girls, antagonizing his father for chiding him, acting smart to impress the girl next door or getting mentally depressed at his lover's death, this young lad has come up trumps.

Not far behind is Sonia Agrawal. Though her character seems to be an improvisation of her role in Kadhal Kondein, she does it with ease. Especially towards the climax when she decides to share the bed with her lover, she has given her best on screen. She is indeed a screen-stealer in the movie.

"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.
