Peranmai (2009)


Its difficult when you dont have many movies for Diwali,The ultimate joy of Diwali ends when there isnt much movies around your city.This Diwali is one of the dry diwali for movies .Peranmai is a much expected movie from SP Jananathan who had made E and Eyarkai .SPJ tries to be different and he succeeds in most of the parts.Movie will mark a difference for Jayam Ravi who has given a great performance in this role.

Peranmai is about a NCC trainer Dhuruvan who hail from a tribal caste.He takes the responsibility to take five girls to trekking in a dense forest as a part of the training program.Dhuruvan and team find a group of Foreign men who intrude in to the forests for a deadly reason.Dhuruvan along with the girls fight against the men for a cause.

Movie boldly speaks about how the society treats backward class person even he attains a respectable position.Ponvannan as the Forest ranger speaks how people humiliate the reservation quoto and their allocation to jobs.Movie doesn’t lashes out or preach against the society ,it simply puts the truth and makes a clear mockery on the mindset of so called “upper caste”.Thats the intelligence of this movie and apart from that it takes a different space as the villain ,A nameless gang who are against the interest of the country but they have a mission .

Jayam Ravi looks fit and energetic for this role ,You will not see a better NCC trainer than Jayam Ravi ,he has worked relentlessly on his voice and I could find from his broken voice box.He is the man who stands for the definition of Peranmai is the superior quality of a man with complete control on his body and soul .Jayam Ravi works hard with the Girls and controls his emotions when he is humiliated. Five girls performance has to be applauded for their commitment and stunning energy through out the movie.

SP Jananathan gives a pro reservation movie blended with international substance which we are fighting today.The first half of the movie takes a lot of time to settle because of the training and I felt the whole movie ends as training because Jayam Ravi trains the girls till the climax.SPJ’s climax is a fantastic touch but it needed justification, I couldn’t understand why the girls who travelled along with Ravi became silent at the end after performing so much .

Many questions in this movie goes unanswered but the movie can be definitely watched for it SPJ’s take on Reservation and Jayam Ravi’s fantastic performance.

Rating :***

Anantha Thandavam -The original Pirivom Sandhippom

Below is the write up about a movie which I expect so much for this year.The story has been my personal favorite and is based on one of the best Tamil novel which I have read so far.I happened to read the novel Pirivom Santhippom during my college days ,which made me to think aloud about love.Written by Sujatha the story was initially published in Anantha Vikatan in early 80’s.The story of Pirivom Santhippom is of two series first in Tirunelveli second part in America.After eight years I am able to recall each and every characters of the work.This has nothing to do with my memory but with the beauty of the book.The main characters are “Ragupathi and Madumitha “.After reading the book I felt there can not be a sweeter name than Madumitha .Even the name of the particular character while reading the novel will make you feel for Ragupathy. Ragupathy meets his Ex lover in USA during his stay for his higher studies.Ragupathy avoids her but Madumitha married to a NRI Radhakrishnan @Rad moves ...

Mirugam (2007)

Mirugam was a much speculated and much criticised movie before its release for various reasons other than the main movie and I took the option to choose though I didn ’t have any interest to watch this particular movie .There are two things which should be mentioned about the movie first you can not avoid comparing this with Paruthiveeran and director Sami has tried to rework getting inspired by Cult classic Paruthiveeran .Secondly I can not understand will there be any human like Ayyanar in our day to day society.Why was this movie made?It self is a big confusion.Is it for awareness or for narrating a story of a beast?.If its awareness we should be very sorry for the director ,I think the world has moved a long way from 1987 to 2007 with regard to awareness of AIDS. Mirugam is a story about Ayyanar (New Comer Aadi )who lived notoriouslyas a protagonist during Late 80’s according to the film.He lives a life of a sandiyar who pounds his mother abuses every body and lives a life ...

Marudhamalai (2007)

Every time when I watch and enjoy a movie with usual formula of Romance ,Comedy,Macho Villain, ferocious Chases ,Challenges I always get reminded that I am a Tamil movie fan above any thing. Maruthamalai reminded me of the same.Its a same nonsense formula with Cop Hero challenging a Villain who rules a town unofficially not allowing the Government to conduct elections for Sixteen years.How illogical and attrocious! Movie stars Arjun , Vadivel , Lal , Nasaer , Nila but its undoubtedly Vadivel who steals the show.Like in Winner , Thalai Nagaram , Vadivel had given a splendid performance which made me spell bound with his body language and expressions.I could clearly say one more hit because of Vadivel ’s Comedy sequence.He is Ettu Egambaram A.K.A Encounter Egambaram (Like Vetayadu Velayadu DCP Raghavan ) in Marudhamalai and the screen explodes from the moment he appears.From the fifth minute to nearly on hour it’s a complete comedy feast for viewers. Arjun and Vadivel com...
