Kumudam Review
கிராமத்துக் கதை. ஆனால் தற்போதைய தமிழ்த் திரையுலக தலையெழுத்தைப் போல் மதுரையில் நடக்கும் கதை கிடையாது. மன்னார்குடி பக்கம் நடக்கிறது.
மன்னார்குடி என்பதால் ஏகப்பட்ட சொத்தும் செல்வச்செழிப்பும் கிடையாது. எளிமைதான் படத்தின் அடிப்படை. படத்தில் ரிக்கார்ட் டான்ஸ் இருக்கிறது. ஆனால் நடன நடிகையின் உடலை மோப்பம் பிடிக்கும் கேமரா கிடையாது. அருவாள் இருக்கிறது, கிராமங்களுக்கிடையே பகை இருக்கிறது. ஆனால் அதிர்ச்சியில் கண்களை மூட வைக்கும் ரத்தம் தெறிக்கும் வன்முறை கிடையாது.
அப்புறம் படத்தில் என்ன இருக்கிறது? யதார்த்தமான கதாபாத்திரங்கள். படம் முழுவதும் சிரிப்புடன் நம்மை உட்கார வைக்கும் திரைக்கதை.
பகையிலிருக்கும் பக்கத்து கிராமத்துப் பள்ளிக்கூடப் பெண்ணைக் காதலிக்கும் ஹீரோ, அந்தப் பெண்ணைத் திருமணம் செய்துகொள்வதுதான் கதை.
ஹீரோவாக ‘பசங்க’ விமல். நடிப்பு இயல்பாய் வருகிறது. கிராமத்து தறுதலையை கண் முன் கொண்டு வருகிறார். அவரது நண்பர்களும் அப்படியே.
ஹீரோயின் மலையாளத்து இறக்குமதி ஓவியா.குழந்தைத்தனமாய் இருக்கிறார். எல்லோரும் கிராமத்து முகங்களுடன் இருக்க, இவரிடம் மட்டும் வழக்கமான தமிழ் சினிமா கதாநாயகியின் நடிப்பு வந்துவிட்டது.
மகனை பாசத்துடனும் பயத்துடனும் பார்க்கும் பரிதாப அம்மா சரண்யா. ‘ஆவணி தாண்டுனா ‘டாப்’பா வந்துருவான்’ என்ற ஜோதிட நம்பிக்கையில் மகனுக்கு செல்லம் கொடுப்பதும் துபாயிலிருந்து திரும்பும் கணவனிடம் மகனுக்காக நாடகமாடுவதும் கலகலப்பு.
துபாய் அப்பாவாக இளவரசு. படத்துக்குப் படம் நடிப்பில் மெருகேற்றிக்கொண்டே இருக்கிறார்.
பரிதாப பஞ்சாயத்தாக கஞ்சா கருப்பு. அவரை வைத்து கிராமத்து இளைஞர்கள் செய்யும் காமெடி தியேட்டரை அதிர வைக்கிறது.
அண்ணனாக வரும் புதுமுகம் திருமுருகனை இனி பல படங்களில் வில்லனாகப் பார்க்கலாம்.
கேமரா ஓம் பிரகாஷும் இசை எஸ்.எஸ்.குமரனும் படத்துக்கு பலம் சேர்க்கிறார்கள்.
இவர்கள் எல்லோரையும் விட படத்தின் நிஜ ஹீரோ இயக்குநர் சற்குணம். முதல் படமாம். நம்ப இயலவில்லை. அதிக செலவு இல்லாமல் பெரிய நட்சத்திரங்கள் இல்லாமல் கதை சொல்லும் விதத்தை மட்டுமே நம்பிப் படமெடுத்திருக்கிறார். நம்பினோர் நலிவதில்லை.
பருத்தி வீரன், பசங்க திரைப்படங்களை நினைவுபடுத்தும் காட்சியமைப்புகள், படத்தில் இருக்கும் லாஜிக் ஓட்டைகள். பள்ளி மாணவி வெட்டி இளைஞனைக் காதலிப்பது, குடிப்பதும் பெண்ணைக் கடத்துவதும் சாதாரண செயல்கள்போல் காட்டுவது போன்ற உறுத்தல்கள் இருந்தாலும், களவாணி, களவாடிவிட்டான் இதயத்தை..

Vikatan Review
Positive reviews everywhereதுறுதுறு, விறுவிறு, கலகலவென, குறும்புக் 'களவாணி'!
டுடோரியல் காலேஜ் ப்ளஸ் டூ 'மாணவன்' விமல். அப்பாவின் துபாய் சம்பாத்தியத்தை அம்மாவிடம் இருந்தே மிரட்டிப் பிடுங்கி, கூட்டுறவு சொசைட்டிக்குப் போகும் உர மூட்டையை லவட்டி, ஊருக்குள் களவாணித்தனம் செய்கிறார். அவரது மனதைக் கொள்ளை அடிக்கிறார் பக்கத்து ஊர் பள்ளி மாணவி ஓவியா (அறிமுகம்). ஒரு குறுவைக்கும், தாழடிக்கும் இடையில் விமலுக்கும் ஓவியாவுக்கும் இடையே காதல் பூக்கிறது. ஓவியாவின் அண்ணன் திருமுருகனுக்கும் (அறிமுகம்), விமலுக்கும் ஏற்கெனவே பழைய பஞ்சாயத்துகள் பாக்கி. ஓவியாவுக்கு வேறு ஒருவரோடு ரகசியத் திருமணம் செய்துவைக்கும் ஏற்பாடுகளை முறியடித்து அவரை விமல் எப்படிக் கைப் பிடிக்கிறார் என்பதே களவாணி வியூகம்!
கிராமத்துப் படம் என்றாலே மதுரைதான் என்ற க்ளிஷேவை உடைத்து, கதைக் களத்தை தஞ்சா வூருக்குக் கடத்தி இருக்கிறார், அறிமுக இயக்குநர் ஏ.சற்குணம். உர மூட்டைகள், உழவு மாடு, விதை நெல், கூட்டுறவு சொசைட்டி, பூச்சி மருந்து, நெற்கதிர் என்று மருத நிலம் அப்படியே திரையில். 'அங்க நெருதுளி ஆவுது', 'ஆயி' என்பதாக அசல் வட்டார வழக்கும் ஆங்காங்கே ஈர்க்கிறது. யமஹா, பல்சர், வெள்ளைச் சட்டை வேட்டி, பீர் குடி இளைஞர்கள், கிரிக்கெட் சிறுவர்கள், துபாய் சம்பாத்தியப் பெற்றோர் கள், கிராமத்துத் திருவிழா 'ரீட்டா' டான்ஸ், மாட்டு வண்டி என சமகாலக் கிராமம் அச்சு அசலாக! கிராமத்து உதார் சண்டியராக விமல். முன் பின் இருக்கை பேருந்துப் பெண்களிடம் அடுத்தடுத்து 'சைன்' போட்டு மயக்கி, பார்க்கும் பெண்களிடம் எல்லாம் 'கட்டிக்கிறேன்னு சொல்லு!' என்று காதலாகிக் கசிந்துருகி, ஃபுல் மப்பில் 'ஆங்... ஃப்ரைட் ரைஸ் ஒண்ணு, ஆம்லேட் ஒண்ணு!' என்று டாஸ்மாக் பார் சைட் டிஷ் காசை அமுக்கி.... தமிழ் சினிமாவின் தற்போதைய ஹீரோக்கள் எவரும் பிரயோகிக்காத அஸ்திரங்களால் மனதைக் கொள்ளைகொள்கிறார். பாக்கெட் பேனா சீப்பும், பவுடர் கர்ச்சீப்புமாக 'வெள்ளுடை வேந்தன்' விமல் நடிப்பில் அத்தனை யதார்த்தம்.
ஸ்கூல் பொண்ணுபோலவே குட்டிப் பெண்ணாக இருக்கும் ஓவியா ஓவிய அழகு ப்ளஸ் குறும்பு. விமலிடம் சிரித்துவிட்டு, "சிரிச்சே ஸீன் போட்டேன்... விட்டுட்டான்!" என்று தோழிகளிடம் 'களுக்'கும்போதும், பாவாடையைத் தூக்கிச் செருகி நாற்று நடும்போதும் இயல்பும் நேர்த்தியுமான வார்ப்பு.
'களவாணி'யின் மிகப் பெரிய பலம் சரண்யாவும் இளவரசுவும். "ஆடி போயி ஆவணி வரட்டும்... அவன் டாப்பா வருவான்" என்று சரண்யா கண்கள் விரியச் சொல்லும்போது எல்லாம் கை தட்டல் அள்ளுகிறது. துபாய் ரிட்டர்ன் அப்பாவாக 'களவாணி' மகனைச் சமாளிக்க முடியாமல் திண்டாடி தியேட்டரில் தீபாவளிப் பட்டாசு கொளுத்துகிறார் இளவரசு. மிரட்டல் வில்லன் உடல் மொழி திருமுருகனிடம் கனகச்சிதம்!
'கோர்ட் வாசலையே மிதிக்காம சொந்தக் காசு 200 ரூபா போட்டு எனக்கு டைவர்ஸ் வாங்கிக் கொடுக்குறதுல உங்களுக்கு என்னடா சந்தோஷம்!' என்று புலம்புவதும் 'உங்க கால்ல விழுந்து கும்புடுதேன்... அந்தப் பொண்ணு பாலிடாயில் குடிக்கலை!' என்று கதறிச் சிதறுவதுமாகக் காமெடி போதை ஊட்டுகிறார் கஞ்சா கருப்பு.
'அறிக்கி LC 112 கூட்டு' அசத்தல் ஐடியா. அதை வெறுமனே காமெடிக்கு மட்டும் பயன்படுத்தாமல், திருப்புமுனைக்கும் பயன்படுத்தியது க்ளாஸ். சைக்கிளோடு ஃபுட்போர்டு அடிப்பது, வயலில் ஓவியா நட்ட நாற்றுகள் மட்டும் செழித்து வளர்ந்திருப்பது, டிக்கி ஸ்பீக்கரை காரில் கட்டிக்கொண்டு பஞ்சாயத்தை வீர மரணம் எய்தவைப்பது, மாப்பிள்ளையைக் கடத்தி 'நல்ல புத்தி' சொல்வது எனப் படம் முழுக்க ரசனை ஐடியாக்கள்.
எஸ்.எஸ்.குமரனின் இசையில் 'டம்மா டம்மா', 'ஊர் உறங்கும் சாமத்துல' பாடல்களில் மட்டும் வயல்வெளி வாசம். ஓம்பிரகாஷின் ஒளிப்பதிவு கிராமத்துப் பசுமையை அப்படியே ஆசையாய் அள்ளி இருக்கிறது.
ரத்தம் காட்டுவதற்கான எல்லா வாய்ப்புகளும் உள்ள கதை. யதார்த்தம் மீறாமல் அசல் கிராமத்துப் படத்தைக் கொடுத்த வகையில் நம் மனதைக் கொள்ளையடிக்கும் 'களவாணி'!
46/100

விமர்சனம்-களவாணி
உரம், விவசாயம், ஊடால காதல்னு அழகான கதையும் அற்புதமான பிரசன்டேஷனுமாக வந்திருக்கிறார் புது இயக்குனர் சற்குணம்! இதுவரைக்கும் எங்கெங்கேயோ சறுக்குன தயாரிப்பாளர்கள் இனி இவர் பக்கம் மைய(ல்)ம் கொள்ளலாம்.
துபாய்க்கார அப்பாவுக்கு துடுக்கான பிள்ளை விமல். வெட்டி வேலை, வீம்பு சண்டை, சாயங்கால சரக்கு என்று ஊதாரியாக திரிகிறவருக்கு, பக்கத்து கிராமத்திலிருந்து பள்ளிக்கு வரும் ஓவியா மீது காதல். ஆனால் ஓவியாவின் அண்ணனுக்கும் விமலுக்கும் ஜென்ம பகை. சந்தர்ப சூழ்நிலை விமலை மேலும் கெட்டவனாக்க, வெட்டு குத்தாகிறார்கள் வருங்கால மச்சான்கள். இவ்வளவையும் மீறி இணைந்தார்களா ஜோடி என்பது க்ளைமாக்ஸ். ஏ.வெங்டேஷ், பேரரசுகளுக்கு இப்படி ஒரு கதை கிடைத்தால் தியேட்டர் கேண்டீனில் கூட பிளாஸ்திரியும், டெட்டாலும்தான் விற்று தொலைந்திருக்கும். ஆனால் சற்குணத்தின் ட்ரீட்மென்ட்டே தனியாக இருக்கிறது.
LC 112 என்ற வார்த்தையை வைத்துக் கொண்டு இவர் எழுதியிருக்கும் புதுக்கவிதை இன்னும் கொஞ்ச நாளைக்கு தஞ்சாவூர் பக்கம் தண்ணீராக ஓடினாலும் ஆச்சர்யமில்லை. ஊர் முழுக்க இதை எழுதி போட்ருவேன் என்று மிரட்டியே ஓவியாவை 'கட்டிக்கிறேன்'னு சொல்ல வைக்கிற விமல், அப்படியே ஒரு நடை ஓவியாவின் அப்பாவிடமே போய் 'மேற்படி ரக நெல்லு இருக்கா' என்று சதாய்ப்பது செம கரைச்சல். காரின் பின் சீட்டில் இருப்பது அப்பா என்பது தெரியாமலே தனது வீர தீர கதையை சொல்லி மாட்டிக் கொள்வதும், ஓவியா நட்டுவிட்டு போன நாலு கொத்து நாற்றை மட்டும் செம்மையாக 'கவனித்து' அதன் வளர்ச்சியில் தன் காதலை வளர்ப்பதுமாக பின்னி எடுத்திருக்கிறார் விமல்.
இதே இந்த கதைக்காகவே பெத்து போட்ட மாதிரி இருக்கிறார் ஓவியாவும். போதையில் தன் கண்ணெதிரிலேயே அத்தை மகளை கடத்திப் போகும் விமலை பார்த்து பேஸ்த் அடித்துப் போய் நிற்கிற காட்சியில் சூடு பிடிக்குது கதை. இளசுகளின் 'கடலைக்கு' இடையூறாக வரும் சிறுவனுக்கு கண்ணை கட்டி கண்ணாமூச்சு ஆட விடுவதெல்லாம் கலகலப்பான காதல் பொதுமறை!
அவ்வப்போது விமல் கோஷ்டியின் அரவையில் சிக்கி 'நொந்தாமிர்தம்' ஆகிறார் கஞ்சா கருப்பு. இவரது காதுபடவே 'பஞ்சாயத்து காலமாகிவிட்டார்' என்று மைக்கில் அறிவிப்பதை கேட்டு திடுக்கிடுகிற போதெல்லாம் கைதட்டல்களால் திடுதிடுக்கிறது தியேட்டரும்.
அகன்ற கண்களில் ஆச்சர்யம் கோபம் பரிதாபம் என்று ஏகப்பட்ட படங்களை ஓட்டுகிறார் சரண்யா. 'என் புள்ளைக்கு கிரகம் சரியில்ல. ஆவணி வந்தா டாப்புல போய்டுவான்' என்று நம்பிக்கை காட்டுகிறாரே, அற்புதம்! பிள்ளைக்காக துபாயிலிருந்து வாங்கி வந்த லேப் டாப்பை வேஸ்ட்டா போச்சே என்று கோபத்தோடு விற்க முயலும் இளவரசுவிடம், சூழ்நிலை தெரியாமல் விமல் மாடு மேய்க்க போவதை சொல்லி சரண்யா சிலாகிக்கிற காட்சி கலகலப்பு கலவரம்ப்ப்பா
வில்லனாக அறிமுகம் ஆகியிருக்கும் திருமுருகனின் ஓங்கு தாங்கான உடம்பு ஒன்றே போதும். அதையும் மீறி நடிப்பும் வருவதால் புதுமுக வரவில் தனிமுகம் காட்டுவார்.
காட்சிகளுக்கு தோதாக துண்டு துண்டாக எஸ்.எஸ்.குமரன் போட்டிருக்கும் சின்னஞ்சிறு பாடல்களும் பின்னணி இசையும் டாப் என்றால், டம்மா டம்மா பாடல் தனி அட்ராக்ஷன்! விருந்துக்கு பேர் போன தஞ்சையையே தலைவாழை இலையில் வைத்து பரிமாறியிருக்கிறார் ஒளிப்பதிவாளர் ஓம்பிரகாஷ்.
பாக்யராஜூக்கு பிறகு திரைக்கதையில் சென்ட்டம் அடித்திருக்கிற டைரக்டர் சற்குணத்தை 'மனசை திருடிய களவாணியே' என்று பாராட்டலாம். தப்பேயில்லை!

Kalavani Goes Topper Over Charts
When the most expected biggies disappoint us, we really keep ourselves away from the medium-and-low budget films. In all likelihood, the previous Friday’s release ‘Kalavani’ has made it through a similar way. The film opened up with lukewarm response with distributors not really jumping with joy over the collections during first weekend. But with film reviews and audiences’ feedback getting on more favorable, the crowds have gradually started thronging more for this film.
In most of the theatres, the film was screened for a single show and from Monday onwards, they have been increased due to more crowds. Previously, it had happened with Vikram Kumar’s ‘Yaavarum Nalam’, Sasikumar’s ‘Nadodigal’ and Shankar’s ‘Eeram’. These films never had such intense expectations and got through slow picks at box office.
Let’s hope the film makes through a commendable phase, thereby insisting producer Naseer to often make good quality films.

Watched the film today and fell in love with it. Easily one of the best films released this year. There is not a dull moment in the film and its a laugh riot starting from the opening credits to the closing. Thanks to the director for choosing a non-madurai location and that gives the movie a very fresh look...
Vimal, New comer Thirumurugan, heroine Oviya, Ilavarasu, Saranya, etc, etc have played their part to perfection. Ganja Karuppu is the second hero of the movie...
If you want an unadulterated, violence free, sentiment devoid laugh riot, try this one.. Tamizh cinema is enjoying a very good phase now...

Watched on saturday.Definately a clean-slate,good entertainer.No Doubt.
What I thought was It lacked a racy Post-Interval.
May Be Since the hero is not an MASS-ACTION HERO. [ I think I'm corrupted by watching more MASALA TAMIL FILMS ].
A Common Movie Audience like me would have loved to see something racy,gripping Chase sequence in the climax.Instead it was carried in a humorous manner on the shoulder of GANJA KARUPPU....
The Love Sequences b/w the lead pair

Kalaavani: Movie Review
Debutant director Sargunam scores heavily in his very first attempt at making a full-length film as he has done away with the customary violence of a rural backdrop and has sincerely attempted to narrate the clash between two villages without any artificial insertions. The characters are very casual and the sequencing has been far from disappointing.
Arivazhagan (Vimal) is an irresponsible guy who thrives on the money sent by his father (Ilavarasu) settled in Dubai and doesn’t feel ashamed in threatening his mother (Saranya) and extracting money from her to meet his expenses besides indulging from time to time in petty mischief and major quarrels. When he teases Maheswari (Oviya) of the rival village, it ends up in him falling head over heels in love with her.
Maheswari’s brother is a goon who hates Arivu’s village and its residents and wants to make use of the ‘affair’ by taking Arivu’s life. Meanwhile, Ilavarasu returns to the village from Dubai and takes cognizance of his son’s love affair. He attempts to mend his son’s ways and assures him that he’d get him married to his sweetheart. How he does and so and whether the warring village made truce or not is what the rest of the story is all about.
Realism is the forte of ‘Kalavaani’: the characters, characterization and the very casual portrayal by the lead actors is what makes the film a compelling viewing. The script doesn’t attempt to belie logic and the dialogues are just appropriate and to the point, traits which are increasing becoming rare in Tamil films.
Vimal, who impressed one and all with his portrayal of ‘Meenatchi’ in Pandiraj’s ‘Pasanga’ last year, does a ‘Sathyaraj’ with a very realistic portrayal and delivering dialogues with sarcasm. Oviya looks very pretty and fits the bill as an innocent village belle. She could have helped her cause more had she concentrated on her facial expressions.
Saranya, over the years, has delivered some amazing performances. Her role as Jeeva’s mother in ‘Raam’ and Bharath’s mother in ‘Em Magan’ are stand-out performances. Here too, as Vimal’s mother who believes her son come what may, she dazzles and is easily the best performer in the film, beating the likes of Ilavarasu. Her ‘mock’ dramas staged to bail her son out of his problems are handled nicely by the director.
Ilavarasu, a veteran actor, appears to have been caught in a dilemma as to whether to portray his role in serious mode or a humourous mode. ‘Ganja’ Karuppu tickles the funny bones to a great extent in the company of Mayilsamy. The actor who plays Oviya’s brother has done a fairly decent job, especially in sequences where he needs to emote.
The film drags a little bit in the first half but the fast-paced of the second half makes the viewers forget it. The humour quotient, inherent and tangible throughout the film, makes the film an interesting fare, which culminates in an interesting climax. Fortunately, the film is sans cheap sentiment, gravity-defying fight sequences and double-meaning dialogues (by the director), for which Sargunam should be appreciated whole-heartedly.
Sargunam has also consciously ‘broken free’ from the stereo-typed portrayal of villages in Tamil films depicting its dirty houses and meaningless talks. The realistic portrayal of characters, sequences and the incidents occurring in the film deserve special appreciation. The underlying hunger in the director’s heart to make a meaningful film appears to have been full realized!
The couple of ‘chasing’ sequences in the film, which are ultra-serious, are photographed amazingly but at the same time the humour quotient in them is not lost either. For that mater, the script of the film is a very serious one but the director has succeeded in instilling in it moments of light-hearted laughter, which calls for some serious skills in film-making. If he grooms himself properly, Sargunam could even become another Bharathiraaja!
Dialogue is another department, besides screenplay and direction, where Sargunam scores heavily as they are sharp, to the point and subtle. Saranya’s dialogue, especially, are razor-sharp and lovable.
In debutant Kumaran’s music, none of the songs are hummable but he makes up for it in his background score. Kumaran has involved himself deep into the script and has given a grand BGM to supplement the mood of the film. Cinematography by Om Prakash in showing the fertile lands and other sequences besides the chasing sequences is simply superb.
Sargunam doesn’t need to worry: he has a sure-fire winner in ‘Kalavaani’. We should also not forget to offer bouquets to the director for his amazing effort!
Don’t miss it.

Producer invokes the wrath of Sun TV
Producer Naseer, who happens to the manager/PRO of actress Trisha, is the producer of the film ‘Kalavaani’, which released last week and has been getting rave reviews from the print and television media, with its director Sargunam coming in for wholesome praise from many quarters. Naseer recently sold the satellite broadcasting rights of the film to Vijay TV, which appears to have triggered more problems than he might have anticipated.
The satellite broadcasting rights of new films are usually competed among themselves mainly by Sun TV and Kalaignar TV. Even if both these channels miss out on getting the broadcasting rights of a particular film, they won’t shy away from relaying on their channel the advertisement, songs and clippings from the film in order to promote it, albeit after getting paid for the same.
In the case of ‘Kalavaani’, though, Sun TV has reportedly instructed its authorities that none of the sequence or songs from the film should be shown on its channel. The reason given by them is the ‘unreliable’ attitude of Naseer, who showed his film ‘exclusively’ and separately to the two ‘heirs’ of the State’s ‘big’ family who have been in to distribution and production even as Sun TV was negotiating with him about the cost of the rights.
Now, Naseer is said to be scratching his head as to how to pacify the leading channel in Tamil Nadu. He, however, has one consoling thing: ‘Kalavaani’ has been doing great and has been getting good reviews from everyone!

Quite a good film. Takes a while to establish the conflict and this tests our patience. Lot of good scenes dispersed through the film, which makes the film more than watchable. If only the duration is less than 2 hours, the film could have been much better.

saw few scenes on TV :-
one scene where hero keeps the leaf like bud under the hand sleeve of chudi and squeezes heroines hand, and that action makes the bud to move under the sleeve.... this scene reminded my childhood days...yeah....we(kids) used to play with such buds
one more scene where heroine and kids will be playing to explode the flower buds by pressing them.... small kid will say like" enakku mattum chinna poovaa kuduththu nee kallaatta aadra " ....so cute
these scenes kindled my childhood memories

Watched it!
A clean entertainer! Congrats to the Director for making such a light entertainer. Comedy scenes were not rib tickling, yet worked effectively. First half made me laugh while second half made me ROTFL.
Two characters that impressed me:
1. Saranya - She is indispensable when it comes to Mother roles. It's highly impossible to imagine some other woman in her role. She does it with 200% perfection. She is so cute every time she says "aani pOi, aadi pOi, aavani vandha, avan top-la varuvan nu pattukottai josyar sonnaru" Tamil Cinema-ku kedaichurukkura oru nalla amma-na adhu saranya amma thaan.
2. Secondly, brother of LC112. He has done a fabulous job with a unique body language, dialogue delivery. More importantly, very less of high decibel shouting which is what most brother characters are known for!
ivanga rendu pErukku appuram thaan hero and heroine. Vimal, though has pulled it off decently, reminded me of ParuthiVeeran in may dialogues. Here, I should mention that Ameer can put his collars up for creating such a master piece and an unforgettable character which is influencing so many upcoming movies and heroes.
Hero's friends have done their parts well. Arivazhagan! Mr. Arivazhagan
Verdict: Don't miss it

Lovely little film. Film of the year for me. The director gets full marks w.r.to setting up the milieu (including the record dance), characterizations (even the smallest of characters like the dubai friend), acting (the leading lady could have done a little better) and the dialogues.
Vimal was excellent. Lead performance of the year so far. I was impressed with him in Pasanga and he was far more impressive in this role. apdiyE natural-aa varudhu acting. His kooththu pattarai experience coming to the fore. Ilavarasu was superb. I always thought he is an under-utilized supporting actor.
The director's attention to detail was amazing. Watch out for the scene in the bar (before their attempt to kidnap the teacher) in which even the characters in the background have something to do. And also the 'meeting' scene after his dad's Dubai return in which Vimal wears new set of clothes, without the director spelling it out. Also executing long drawn scenes (there are so many of them) with impeccable detailing is not easy.
Could have done away with way too many romance scenes in the exact same location. And in 2-3 scenes Vimal reminded me of Paruthi veeran Karthi. But I am only nitpicking. Sarkunam saar

What a lovely little film this is. It's a breezy unperturbed watch. There are minor (hardly ever) irritations for a film that treads through clichéd plot points. That tells you how refined the handling is, and it's not that I laughed out loud ( I did once towards the end with Ganja karuppu, who for the first time seems impressive), The blithe tone of the narrative is rather welcome and refreshing for TFI (with all the overaching seriousness that some of the 'new-wave' guys seem to take themselves, esp. the Ameer-Sasikumar hood), how uninhibitedly it pans out for a debut filmmaker. It's always great to see uniformly good acting. Except perhaps the actor who does the typically bad machan role, hardly ever believable, let alone suggest menace, but that seems to be the sentiment of the filmmaker about rural cliques who indulge in machismo. Although there are couple of domestic instances where women get beat up. And mild sexist discharge that persists in rural context. But we'll grant allowances in this regard, as it doesn't make the women unworthy, or approach them in a misogynistic manner. But to cut it some well-earned slack, there are no faux pretensions to make a broad commentary of any sort (that some of our filmmakers indulge in, and fail, miserably).
It's always nice to see characters who don't exudate fake persona. And it's quite a while since likes of Pandiarajan and Bhagyaraj, that a fletched-out milieu is brought out without being quaint. Some of the romantic detours and calculative freewheeling of the youth might seem nostalgic, but the way it's fleshed out scurries over, never seems dated. The relationships and familial archetypes (be it Arriki's or Maheshwari's) are all naturalistic and operate in different strokes, and seem to be less arbitrary in nature, yet, never mechanical and rigidly motivated that would render 'em less dimensional. The cinematography and background score is functional. As for songs, they seem shortened in the theater I watched (rather welcome to this particular viewer), or perhaps that's how it originally is. There isn't quite a lot to be said about this film, but that it deserves to be seen. Do yourself a favor - go watch it. Do the filmmakers a bigger favor, by watching it on big screen.

I am sorry but I thought the flex banners (incl thangaL nalvaravai virumbum + pics of the bannerers) are common throughout TN. And on the milieu thing again, I have been to most of the thanjai area during my four years of undergrad and it was refreshing to see a non-madurai rural area being portrayed realistically.

Gautaman Bhaskaran's Review: Kalavani
Hindustan Times
Director: A. Surkunam
Actors: Oviya, Ilavarasu, Saranya and ‘Ganja’ Karuppu
Rating: *** Often the most unsung film turns out to be the least disappointing. Coming in the wake of a critical and
box-office disaster like Raavanan, debutant director Surkunam’s Kalavani in Tamil is a hugely pleasing work set in the Tamil Nadu countryside. Tamil cinema, which is just about the only one that still dares to get out of urban situations and away from slick city-bred characters, presents in Kalavani a canvas of delightful rural romance.
However, the story of two neighbouring villages in feud is a subject beaten to pulp on the Tamil screen, and Surkunam’s plot offers nothing dramatically different here. Yes, the screenplay is smooth, the performances are natural and most characters are well etched out. Dialogues are not exactly laboured, and the humour is not as silly as it is in most other Tamil movies.
Narrating a blissfully innocent romance between Arikki (Vimal of Pasanga fame) and newcomer Oviya essaying high-school student Maheshwari, the film embellishes it with various facets of the enmity between the two communities that extend even to children’s cricket matches. This rift of course does not stop Cupid from striking Arikki, a habitual flirt who eventually falls for Maheshwari from the enemy zone. Arikki’s wastrel tendencies that his mother (Saranya, still the great actress we saw years ago in Nayagan) overlooks and even encourages with the money her Dubai-based husband sends. Arikki’s pranks that include bribing his way through junior college, cheating people of their money and even stealing a bag of cement have been portrayed with a sense of refreshing sincerity. There are no false notes here, and Maheshwari’s initial misgivings about Arikki transform into romantic love when she sees his other side laced as it with warmth and care.
Look at the way he lifts her and her bicycle on to a moving bus when he sees her brother and his friends out to get her. This is one of the movie’s most touching scenes captured entirely through gestures and looks. Maheshwari’s anger at being bundled into the bus evaporates when she sees her brother and his gang zip past in motorcycles. And Oviya’s marvellous expressions convey her gratitude, and she uses her eyes to say it all.
Vimal as the rustic Romeo packs his part with disarming naturalness. His sense of mischief and waywardness later blend into his deep affection for the schoolgirl from the next village. Meeting on a long winding road that divides the two warring communities and runs through lush paddy fields, Vimal and Oviya portray a virtue hardly seen in Indian cinema, which often banks on the heroic and the beautiful to narrate stories. Rarely are there people who seem so real.

This movie is kind of a comedy sitcom... All the scenes were filmed for enjoyment... Never wanted this film to end... Great movie indeed..
Kanja Karuppu scenes were too good... But this kind of jokes are repeating.. Azhagiya theeya Annachi.. Paruthi Veeran Douglas.. And now Panchayathu.. Hope it is not overused in the future..

Kaadhu kuthu, sadangu, pirandha naal, irandha naal, kalyaanam, pudhumanai puguvizha, etc nu enga paathalum bannersthaan. Andha 'paambu nagaraj' maadhiri oru 5 per photo vera irukkum.

And on the milieu thing again, I have been to most of the thanjai area during my four years of undergrad and it was refreshing to see a non-madurai rural area being portrayed realistically.

1. Vimal growing paddy
2. Climax
3. Mages lifting followed by cycle lifting. Very very poetic.
4. The long kidnap scene
5. Thiruvizha + fight(!)
6. Ilavarasu entry followed by Saranya's drama
7. Basically all *Mahendran/BM esque* long scenes
Liked the shortened scheme of 5. It's how the filmmaker scurries away, without making it a long drawn dishoom-dishoom and messing up the narrative.
About 7. That's exact inversion of 5 right. The economy of the expression in 5 is a welcome move and done with 'taste', without disturbing the tone of the film and the character's freewheeling attitude to life. While 7 is elaboration to enhance the milieu, but also to keep the narrative moving. 1. is similar too. How things pan out don't seem out of place, including the comedy sequences. As Arriki's mother asks the kids to move in, and play, the younger one steps out to talk to his brother about getting pair of cows to plough the field. He milks out money but maneuvers a con to do it for minimal cost. His sister knows her brother in and out, makes out his move, and in turn requests for pencils for the amount (200 Rs) rationed to him. And she does get it, but as a bribe to write Mages's record of course. But the film never thrusts towards its plot with a fascistic pride. The film opens with a seemingly non sequitur situation where we get to see a cricket tournament between different districts. Their rivalry is fleshed out in an unassuming way and subsequently the main characters (who are all mired to this rivalry) are all shown. It's not that even kids share the intense hatred (Arsanur's Mcgrath does his bit of sledging :P ), also to wit, a 'kid's business' (the film is book-ended with birth of Arriki-Mages's child bringing about the unification, of not just the young men, but families, old heads and the towns) is in turn, alluding to death of gloried aruvaal culture. The old patriarchal figures are kept in periphery. It's canny sense of irony that Kanja karuppu's character is named 'Panchayathu', and how such old house institutions have become a living parody. And the ending credits, how the family grows old, and new furniture 'urbanizes' the countryside. And at end of it all, this countryside family's newfound heritage is now to venture abroad for employment.

One of the best films of the decade. Good that there were no gory scenes typical of any (recent) village based subject.
A well made 'serious' movie with a 'humorous' base.
Vimal's lip-sync were not upto the mark in many places. Did anyone notice it?

"களவாணி"
என்ன ஒரு அழகான, அமைதியான, மனதைக் கொள்ளை கொள்ளும் படம். உண்மையிலேயே புதுப்படங்களில் இதுபோன்ற நல்ல படங்களைப் பார்த்து நாளாச்சு. (யார் கோச்சுக்கிட்டாலும் பரவாயில்லே).
விமல் நடிகன் இல்லை, நம்ம பக்கத்து வீட்டுப்பையன். அதுபோல ஓவியா எதிர்த்த வீட்டுப்பொண்ணு. அந்த அளவுக்கு யதார்த்தம். கஞ்சாகருப்பு ரொம்ப நாளைக்குப் பிறகு இதிலதான் சுடர் விடுகிறார். பாவப்பட்ட பஞ்சாயத்து தலைவர் ரோலை அழகாகச்செய்துள்ளார்.
செயற்கைத்தனமில்லாத கதை. கிராமப்பகை இருக்கு, கூச்சல் இல்லை. அரிவாள் இருக்கு ரத்தம் இல்லை. கதைக்களம் மனதைக்கொள்ளை கொள்கிறது. எங்கள் தஞ்சை மாவட்டத்தில் எடுக்கப்பட்ட படத்தைப்பார்த்து எவ்வளவு நாள் ஆச்சு?. மன்னார்குடி, பேராவூரணி, ஒரத்தநாடு, பட்டுக்கோட்டை லொக்கேஷன்கள் எல்லாம் மனதை ஒன்ற வைக்கின்றன.
தமிழ் ரசிகர்களுக்கு ஓர் எச்சரிக்கை: இதுபோன்ற நல்ல படங்களை திரையரங்குகளில் பார்த்து வெற்றி பெற வையுங்கள். இல்லையேல் இயக்குனர் வெறுத்துப்போய் வழக்கமான அடாசுகளின் பக்கம் திரும்ப வாய்ப்பிருக்கிறது.... ஜாக்கிரதை.

kaLavANi - totally non-serious material handled with enough humor to make it entertaining but the serious lack of content (luvvu, murrattu aNNan, saNdai between village groups etc - as old as TF) make the 'puviyiyal' just a matter of curiosity and cannot get entry into movies of repute in my book - like a "EmAththu Srinivasan malayALam movie without Lal"

Any creation that takes efforts to be honest to its art form and takes effort in detailing makes a impressive piece of construction. Kalavani is not flashy audacious screenwriting or any great shakes like Inception but a film that sticks to basics of writing which is such a welcome change amidst lazily written tamil movies, which get lazy appreciations. The thing that stuck me most in the movie was its attention to details and the way all the details are connected in a novel way. Director had all the details in the table and didnt miss any of them, which makes it a great execution. The comedy in the movie just happened and was not a effort. Coming to the characterisations, Vimalraj's i.e kalavani's was the best - the director in a couple of sequences established the "Rancho of arasanur" which Hirani tried to hammer in 3 hrs in 3 idiots. Without formal education, he is a task master who gets work done and makes the ends meet, very well. Another aspect that stuck me was the reason for love developing between protaganists was heartening, it wasnt the lazy "chilhood love" - the way kalavani impresses the girl with his hot-cold good-bad behavior was truly amazing. The final sequences where she filp-flops due to womanly-rumors and then cornered to eloping due to lack of care from parents/siblings. All these elements did not stuck like sore thumbs here and there for sake of it, instead it was woven beautifully into a dynamic screenplay, which ultimately looked like a conglomeration. As is the bane with all recent movies - milieu definitions were not given so much importance, instead it was stitched seamlessly into the screenplay making interesting watch instead of boring "must-do" in a film.
The climax was fun, "kaminey" style with lot of chaos and all characters gaining momentum. I'm personally fan of such big-bang climaxes. The dialogues were crisp and as again, didnt try too much like Paruthiveeran or subbipuram, and stuck to its task. The movie also had a intelligent brush of social commentary with govt. giving cycles to girls, a solid reason for tensions between villages, the ecnonmic status of the people etc. The movie towers over its contemporaries in its detailing only - for ex: paruthiveeran who lives a merry life, but Ameer never explains how pv makes money but here kalavani and his modus operandi is clearly defined. The movie doesent resort to "shock-and-awe" climaxes of so called acclaimed movies - its neat tying of knots in the end was characteristic of a great making. The director was honest to the script and it wasnt just a assortment of good ideas but a perfect framework which was made of a convincing line of events.
Now thats called a "Dream movie"

"களவாணி"
படம் பார்த்தபோதே ரொம்ப விரிவாக எழுதணும்னு நினைச்சேன். நேரமில்லையோ அல்லது வேறென்னமோ, முடியவில்லை. (இப்போ படம் ஓடிக்கிட்டிருக்கா அல்லது எடுத்துட்டாங்களா தெரியவில்லை இன்னமும் ஓடிக்கொண்டிருக்கணும்னு நினைக்கிறது எனது பேராசையாகக்கூட இருக்கலாம்). இருந்தபோதிலும் இந்த விமர்சனம் என் ஆத்மதிருப்திக்காக.
தற்போதைய படங்களில் கிராஃபிக்ஸை கையில் வைத்துக் கொண்டு செப்படி வித்தை காட்டிக் கொண்டிருப்பவர்களூக்கு மத்தியில் எவ்வளவு நாளாச்சு இப்படி ஒரு மனதை வருடும் படத்தைப்பார்த்து.
தும்பைப்பூபோல வெள்ளை வெளேர் வேஷ்டியும் சட்டையுமாக வரும் கதாநாயகன் அறிவழகன் (நண்பர்களுக்கு அறிக்கி) செய்வதெல்லாம் அநியாயம். வீட்டில் அம்மாவை மிரட்டி பணம் பறித்துச்சென்று தண்ணியடிப்பது, கூட்டாளிகளோடு பொறுப்பில்லாமல் ஊர்சுற்றுவது என்று திரிந்தாலும் அவன் மேல் கொஞ்சம்கூட நமக்கு கோபமோ வெறுப்போ வரவில்லை. காரனம் நம் மனதைக்கட்டிப்போடும் விமலின் புன்னகையா?. பார்க்கின்ற ஸ்கூல் பொண்ணுங்களையெல்லாம் பார்த்து என்னை 'கட்டிக்கிறேன்னு சொல்லு' என்று வேடிக்கையாக சொல்லி வைக்க, ஒருநாள் நிஜமாக அப்படி சொல்லவைக்கக்கூடிய ஓவியாவைப்பார்த்ததும் சொக்கிப்போவது, தன் வயலில் நெல் பிடுங்கியவளை அவளுடைய தோழிகள் முன்னால் கண்டித்து விட்டு, பின்னர் தோழிகளைப் போகச்சொல்லிவிட்டு தனியாக, 'எவ்வளவு வேணும்னாலும் நெல் பிடுங்கிக்கோ. ஆனா என்னை கட்டிக்கிறேன்னு மட்டும் சொல்லிடு' என்று குழைவதும், பலமுறை அவன் கோரிக்கையை மறுக்கும் ஓவியா, தனக்காக விடியவிடிய உட்கார்ந்து வீட்டுப்பாடம் எழுதி வரும் அவன் அன்பில் நெகிழ்ந்துபோய், அவன் கேட்காமலேயே 'உன்னை கட்டிக்கிறேன்'னு சொல்வதும் கவிதை நயம்.
ஆனால் அண்ணன் சொன்னதுக்காக யாருக்காகவோ விடிய விடிய வீட்டுப்பாடம் எழுதும் அந்த தங்கை கேரக்டர் கண்ணிலேயே நிற்கிறாள். அப்பா தனக்காக துபாயிலிருந்து வாங்கிவந்த பொருட்களையெல்லாம் அண்ணன் தனக்குத் தெரியாமல் அவன் காதலிக்கு கொடுத்துவிட்டான் என்று தெரியாமல், அலமாரியிலிருந்த பொருட்களைத்தேடி ஏமாறும் அந்தக்குழந்தையைக் காண பரிதாபமாக இருக்கிறது.
சரண்யா, யாரோ ஒரு ஜோசியன் சொன்னதைக்கேட்டு, 'ஆனிபோய் ஆடிபோய் ஆவணி வந்தா எம்மகன் டாப்ல வந்துருவான்' என்று நம்பிக்கொண்டு அவன் இழுத்த இழுப்புக்கெல்லாம் ஈடு கொடுப்பதும், அதே சமயம் துபாயிலிருந்து கணவன் அனுப்பும் பணத்தை மகனுக்குத் தெரியாமல் மறைக்க நினைப்பதும், வெளிநாட்டில் தன் கணவனோடு வேலைசெய்யும் நண்பர் வீட்டுக்கு வந்து பையனுடைய நடவடிக்கைகளைத்தெரிந்து கொள்ள, அதை தன் கணவனிடம் சொல்லவேண்டாமென்று கேட்டுக்கொள்வதுமாக 'அரசனூர் அத்தாச்சி'யாகவே மாறிட்டார்னு சொல்லணும். (மறைத்து என்ன பயன்?. கணவர் துபாயிலிருந்து திரும்பும்போது, டாக்ஸியில் வரும்போதே மகனைப்பத்தி நேரில் பார்த்தே தெரிஞ்சிக்கிறார்).
கிட்டத்தட்ட தான் வரும் காட்சிகளில் முக்கால்வாசி இடங்கள் பள்ளி யூனிபார்மிலேயே வரும் ஓவியா, அரை இஞ்ச் மேக்கப் ஏற்றப்பட்ட செயற்கை நாயகி அல்ல. தினமும் நம் கண்ணெதிரே நடமாடும் இயற்கை நாயகி. அபூர்வமாக வரும் பாவாடை தாவணியிலும் கொள்ளை அழகு. எப்போதும் முகத்தில் கள்ளமில்லா குழந்தைக்குரிய குதூகலம். இவரைத் தேடிப்பிடித்த இயக்குனர் சற்குணத்தைப்பாராட்ட வேண்டும்.
தண்ணியடிக்க, ஊர்சுற்ற வீட்டில் காசு பெயராத நேரங்களில், விளையாட்டுப்போட்டிகள் நடத்தப்போவதாக வெளியூர்களில் வசூல் செய்து காசு தேற்றிக்கொள்வது நல்ல தமாஷ். இருந்தாலும் நண்பர்கள் சதா தண்ணியில் தள்ளாடுவது நெருடுகிறது. அதுபோல, நண்பனுக்காக அடுத்தஊரில் போய் பெண்ணைத்தூக்கி வருவதும், அவர்கள் விரட்டி வருவதும், பஞ்சரான காரிலிருந்து இறங்கி, வெளிநாட்டிலிருந்து அப்பா வந்துகொண்டிருக்கும் டாக்ஸியிலேயே ஏறிக்கொள்வதும், அப்பா பின்சீட்டில் இருப்பது தெரியாமல் தன் வீரப்பிரதாபங்களை டிரைவரிடம் அவிழ்த்து விடுவதும் ரொம்ப தமாஷாக, அதாவது சுவையாக எடுக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. (வழக்கமாக இம்மாதிரி விஷயங்களில் இரண்டு தலைகளாவது உருளும்).
கஞ்சா கருப்பு பற்றி சொல்லலேண்ணா எப்படி?. தாமிரபரணியில் காவேரி தண்ணீரைக் கலந்தபிறகு, இந்தப்படத்தில்தான் அவர் மீண்டும் சோபிக்கிறார். இவரை பகடையாக வைத்து கதாநாயகனும் அவனது நண்பர்கள் கூட்டமும் அடிக்கும் லூட்டி, அமர்க்களம். பஞ்சாயத்தாக வரும் அவர் பாலிடால் குடித்து விட்டதாக புரளி கிளப்பி விடுவதென்ன, அதைக்கேட்டு ஓடிவரும் அவர் மனைவியிடம் 'உன் நடத்தையில் சந்தேகப்ப்பட்டுத்தான் விஷம் குடித்தார்' என்று திசை திருப்பிவிடுவதென்ன, தான் செத்துவிட்டதாக ஒலிபெருக்கியில் அறிவிக்கப்படுவதை தன் காதாலேயே கேட்க நேருவதென்ன, ரிக்கார்ட் டான்ஸ் ஆடும் பெண்ணுக்கு அவர் அன்பளிப்பு செய்ததாக சீட்டு அனுப்பி குடும்பத்தில் குழப்பம் விளைவிப்பதென்ன..... அட்டகாசம்தான்.
காதலில் விழுந்துவிட்ட நாயகன், தன் காதலி கையால் நடப்பட்ட நாற்றுக்களுக்கு மட்டும் ஸ்பெஷல் கேர் எடுத்து உரம் போடுவதும், பூச்சிமருந்து தெளிப்பதும், அதனால் அவை மட்டும் மற்ற பயிர்களைவிட உயரமாக வளர்வதும் அழகான இடைச்செருகல்கள். குறிப்பாக LC112 புதிய ரக நெல் பற்றி புரளிகிளப்புவதும், ஊர் முழுக்க எழுதிவைத்து ஓவியாவை பயமுறுத்துவதும் சின்ன சின்ன கவிதைகள்.
இதில் அதிசயப்பட வைக்கும் விஷயம் என்னவென்றால், இரண்டு ஊர்களுக்கும் நடுவில் இவ்வளவு பகையிருந்தும், அது காலம் காலமாக புகைந்துகொன்டிருந்தும் ஒரு சண்டைக்காட்சி கூட இல்லாதது. அட ஆமாங்க, கிளைமாக்ஸில் கூட சண்டை இல்லாத அதிசயப்படம் சமீபத்தில் இதுவாகத்தான் இருக்கும். கல்யாணத்தன்று பெண்ணைத்தூக்கிப்போவதைத் தொடர்ந்து இவ்வளவு கார் துரத்தல்கள் இருந்தும் கூட சண்டையில்லாமல் படம் முடிவது பெரிய ஆறுதல்.
அதோடு சந்தோஷப்பட வைக்கும் விஷயமும் உண்டு. கதாநாயகனை வீரசூர பராக்கிரமனாகக் காண்பிக்காமல், சாதாரண மனிதனாகக் காண்பித்திருப்பது. ஐம்பது பேர் சுற்றி வளைத்தால்கூட பறந்து பறந்து அடித்து, அவர்களை துவைத்து துவம்சம் செய்து, சட்டை கசங்காமல் எழுந்து நிற்கும் கதாநாயர்களையே பார்த்து அலுத்து, சலித்து, நொந்துபோயிருக்கும் நமக்கு, ஐந்து பேர் சுற்றி வளைத்தாலே தப்பி ஓடுவதில் குறியாக இருக்கும் யதார்த்த கதாநாயகன் புதுசுதானே.
கதைக்களம் பச்சைப்பசேல் என்றிருக்கும் எங்கள் தஞ்சை மாவட்டம். திரும்பும் இடமெல்லாம் (தார்ச்சாலைகள் தவிர்த்து) பசுமைக் கம்பளம் விரித்தாற்போன்று கண்களுக்கு குளிர்ச்சி. ஒரத்தநாடு, பட்டுக்கோட்டை, மன்னார்குடி, அரசனூர், ராணிமங்கலம் என இயற்கை எழில் கொஞ்சும் இடங்கள். காமன் பண்டிகை விழாவிலும் அதையொட்டி நடக்கும் ரிக்கார்ட் டான்ஸிலும் மனதைக்கவரும் மண்வாசனை. அதற்கேற்றாற்போல மனதை வருடும் இசை. ஒளிப்பதிவு செய்த ஓம் பிரகாஷுக்கும், இசையமைத்த எஸ்.எஸ்.குமரனுக்கும் பாராட்டுக்கள்.
மொத்தத்தில், படம் ஃபைவ் ஸ்டார் ஓட்டலில் சாப்பிட்ட கிராஃபிக்ஸ் பிரியாணி அல்ல. ஓலைக்குடிசையில் சாம்பார், வத்தல் குழம்புடன் உண்ட ருசியான கிராமத்து உணவு.

There use to be a poll in the Hub every decade for deciding "Director of the Decade", Movie of the Decade etc., Probably you may add "Golden year of the decade in TFI" something like that. Originally Posted by raajarasigan

களவாணி பார்த்தேன். சற்குணத்திற்கு பாராட்டுக்கள். திரைக்கதை, வசனம், ஒளிப்பதிவு, பின்னணி இசை, இயக்கம் எல்லாமே தரமாக இருந்தது.
கதைக்களமான காவிரி டெல்டாவில் வசித்து வரும் சராசரி நடுத்தர வர்க்க விவசாயக் குடும்பங்களை, மண்ணின் கலாச்சார பின்னணியை சற்குணம் நன்றாக உள்வாங்கி படம் முழுவதும் செதுக்கியிருக்கிறார். இந்த அளவிற்கு வேறொரு படைப்பு ஒரு குறிப்பிட்ட பிராந்தியத்தில் நிகழ்தேரும் (சமகால) விஷயங்களை பதிவு செய்திருக்குமா என்பது (என் இதுவரையிலான சினிமா அறிவில்) கேள்விக்குறிதான்.
கிராம விவசாய உர நிலையம், நெற்கதிரடி எந்திரம், உழுவதற்கு பயன்படும் குபெட்டாக்கள், நடவு நடும் பெண்டீர்களுக்கு மதிய உணவாக தரப்படும் டி-பன், சிறுவர்களுக்கான கிரிக்கட் போட்டிகள், ரீட்டா போன்ற நடனக்காரிகளை மையமாக வைத்து நடத்தப்படும் திருவிழா கச்சேரிகள், மதுபான கடைகளின் கீற்றுக்கொட்டகைகள், அம்மா-உடன்பிறப்புக்களை மரியாதை குறைவாக அழைக்கும் மகன்கள், அரபு நாடுகளில் உழைத்து அனுப்பி வைக்கும் பணத்தில் முழுதாக நிறைவடையாமல் நிற்கும் புதிய வீடுகள், அங்கிருந்து வாங்கி வரும் பொருட்களை பயன்படுத்தாமல் புரோக்கர்களிடம் குறைந்த விலைக்கு விற்க முனைதல் (தொண்ணூறு சதவீத புரோக்கர்கள் இஸ்லாமியர்கள் என்பதையும் கவனிக்க), திருமண நாளிற்கு முந்தைய இரவில் உறவுப் பெண்மணிகள் ஒன்று கூடி பூக்கட்டுதல், டி.வி.எஸ் வண்டிகளில் மலையளவு அலுமினிய பாத்திரங்களை கட்டிக்கொண்டு கிராமம் தோறும் பயணிக்கும் விற்பனையாளர்கள், ஆம்னி பேருந்துகள், இறந்தவர்களை ஊர் மக்களுக்கு தெரிவிக்க உதவும் அம்பாசிடர் கார்-குழாய் ஸ்பீக்கர்கள், பள்ளித் தேர்வில் தவறும் மாணவ, மாணவியர்களுக்கு உதவும் டுடோரியல் நிலையங்கள், வகுப்புக்களுக்கு இடையேயான தடுப்புச்சுவர் இல்லாத கிராமப்புற பள்ளிகள்.. இப்படி நிறைய..
ஒரே முறை பார்த்ததற்கே என்னால் இதையெல்லாம் நினைவில் வைத்திருக்கும் வகையில் படைப்பு மனதோடு ஒன்றி விடுகிறது பலக் காட்சிகளில். பல முறை பார்த்து ரசிக்க ஒரு படைப்பு.
நஞ்சை-புஞ்சை நிலங்களில் பயிரிடப்படக்கூடிய வகையில் அறிக்கி, வாசுகி கூட்டணியில் ஒரு புதிய நெற்கதிர் ரகத்தை அறிமுகப்படுத்தி வைத்த சற்குணத்தின் யுத்தியை காவிரி டெல்டா மக்களும் வெகுநாட்களுக்கு நினைவு கூறுவார்கள்.

படம் முழுவதும் அறிக்கியின் இயல்பான நடிப்பு வியாபித்திருந்தாலும் குறிப்பாக இந்தக் காட்சி நெஞ்சில் பச்செக்கென ஒற்றிக் கொண்டது. செய்கிற பொறுக்கித் தனத்திலும் ஒரு கெத்து.
