Also reminiscent of scenes from ParuthiVeeran. Very sad scenes were the heroine pathetically trying to keep the hero's interest by undressing. given that he had to work mostly in the dark and focus mostly on tight fitting clothes of shivada or unkempt hair on aari's head. it shows egocentric attempts to pinpoint Krishna's effort instead of concentrating on storytelling. Many overt reminders of the Director and his attempts were weaved in which was a dead giveaway to poor filmmaking.
#Paruthiveeran movie review movie
Most of the movie was made in the dark which somehow managed to keep a lot of meaty storytelling in the dark too. Roadside scenes were copies of scenes from Myna. Aari tried too hard to emulate Karthi from PV. Shivadha could have done without the fake hair floating about. Let us hope that this All in All Azhagu Raja’s Briyani is delicious.Nedunchalai was too much of a sequel to movies like Paruthiveeran and Mynaa particularly Paruthiveeran, wherein there are too many similar characters who essayed similar roles, spoke similar dialogues and wore identical costumes. Emoting like a natural, casual attitude and his sense of humor are his forte and if he plays to his strengths, he will emerge glorious.Ī career spanning less than 10 movies, Karthi has grown from the family shadows to a star on his own merit. In a world where you are recognized based on your last outing, Karthi has not had enough success in his recent past to rest on. Unless he picks scripts that showcases his capabilities rather than playing to mainstream masala, he risks the chance of fading away. While they play to the commercial aspect of cinema, for an actor of Karthi’s caliber these are cake walks. Saguni and Alex Pandian flashed through our eyes without creating a flutter. Rage and revenge came naturally when provoked and the movie was a big credit to his career. He was a natural at romance and lived the middle class life. Rocket Raja and Kaathu Poochi rib tickled us and Karthi proved that he could handle comedy deftly. His screen chemistry with Tamannah worked wonders and the songs were chartbusters. Paiyaa and Siruthai cemented his hold in commercial cinema. While his clothes and lifestyle mirrored a city life his dialect still remained rooted in the villages of his maiden attempt. His thirst for urban stories was satiated with Lingusamay’s road romance Paiyaa. Karthi’s performance, second time around, silenced any doubts that lingered. Success or failure comes secondary to a movie like Aayarithil Oruvan which broke barriers for the mere pleasure of viewing the fantasies that crowd Selva’s restless mind. To star in his movie is akin to risking a fall from the cliff just to feel the euphoria of an adventure. Selva Raghavan is a director who does not shy away from projecting the dark corners of our minds and streets on to the big screen. This was a talent to scout for and nurture.įrom Ameer to Aayirathil Oruvan, he steered through camps most heroes fail to venture during their entire careers. With Paruthi Veeran, Karthi raged through the screen and landed with a bang in Tamil Cinema. How did he manage this feat as a newcomer? Some try, some are tutored but very few can achieve this level of acting prowess in their first attempts. If the arid land, rustic setting and rural scenery oozed poetry on screen, Karthi’s depiction of the rugged rogue infused with bumpkin bravado was accurate. It was difficult to fathom that this was his debut movie. With Paruthi Veeran, another son from the Sivakumar household shone brightly. But it was his father who convinced him to focus on acting in front of the lens rather than directing behind it. He assisted Mani Ratnam in Ayutha Ezhuthu despite the offer to star in it, since direction intrigued him. So even while pursuing post graduation in the distant shores of America, his mind has wandered tirelessly to the streets of Kodambakkam. With his father Sivakumar and brother Surya established firmly in the world of Tamil cinema, it was natural that this young lad wanted to make a career in cinema. In the rare occasions that he has missed his wide eyed innocence, easy smile and refreshing looks come to his rescue. Karthi Sivakumar, has delivered hits for the most part.
