When i bought the ticket for 24th night show at Albert theatre in Chennai, what is bought was not a cinema ticket, it was a ticket to a place in remote village in tamilnadu called Paruthiyur...Nobody in that village know me or the 1500 people sitting in the theatre...they were living their day-to-day life and we were watching that...Oh...their lives are sad at times...happy most of the times...we felt sad for them...happy for them.....and in the end...we all felt sad..My friends warned me against watching the last 10 mins..i did just that..and iam happy for that...my friends couldn't sleep for the last 2 days...When i came home from theatre...I felt " I just saw the best movie in my life"....
The movie starts with a stanza from Thirumarai about people and society. It is unbelievable how right from the start till the last scene, all the characters and visuals stay rooted to the story and never went overboard any moment. There is a caste angle and it is the crux of this story line. It may seem mediocre and outdated, but sadly it is still relevant. The makers did not make any compromise with the characters of Paruthiveeran and Muthazhagu and that is what makes this one a masterpiece. Nobody would believe if this is debut movie of actor Karthi. The man is the character in every frame. DO watch and this is one movie that stood the test of time!!
The movie is really awesome, with awesome acting of the actors-actresses, sweet songs and musics, a heart-touching story, beautiful natural rural shooting spot and of course the best part- the heart-touching climax ever. I never expected the finishing of the movie will be like this. I love the character of Muthulagu and the love between Veeran and her. The dialogues and light comedies were enjoyable too. If you didn't watch it, don't wait. Just go, enjoy.
No Tamil movie ever had the kind of narration till now as this move had. Story, screenplay, dialogues, music and acting was very good. Every single frame has its own uniqueness. I should mention the hero opening scene for example. Very big life message was told to audience in an unusual heartbreaking style. This one is definitely a masterpiece.
One can trust Ameer for strong characters in his films. Karthi and Priyamani could have been slightly more better at emoting but considering the fact that they are new, it's no big deal.
One can delight at the routine and sets of a beautiful traditional Tamil village visuals. The screenplay has its highs and lows; blink during a rapid sequence of events and you'll miss a lot of the proceedings. Otherwise, the script is a simple love story. The climax is definitely one of the highlights, if not THE highlight. The ending is guaranteed to leave you in tears. Madurai lingo may be a little hard to grasp for those who aren't that well-versed in Tamil.
Nice background score by Yuvan. Songs consist mostly of folk. It is the romantic ballad Iyyaiyo that will remain at the back of your mind.
