I watched one of the latest tamil movie Paruthi veeran on Sunday. This is directed by a guy named Ameer and the cast includes Karthik (Surya's brother and Sivakumar's second son) and Priyamani.
At the end of the movie I felt really depressed. I being an emotional person, I hate tragedies even on-screen! I was not able to realise whether the movie was overall good or bad. It took me sometime to realise that it was interesting to watch till the end. The last 5 minutes spoiled it all for me.
Story line is this - heroine is madly in love with the hero and is very firm that she will get married to him only. Hero realises only after the movie is half way through. He being the 'Chandiyar' is really irresponsible and lives his life doing all sorts of bad things - drinking, fighting, gambling etc.,. But when they elope and just about to be married, heroine is raped by his friends. She dies and to save her from being portrayed as 'Kettu pona ponnu', he uses an axe and let people believe that he killed her as her dad is planning to get her married to someone else. Hearing this, villagers beat him to death.
Movie is shot in a village and has been taken beautifully.
The dialogues are really crude but close to real conversations in that part of TN. Each and every actor has performed beautifully. Songs are okay... May be if I listen to them a few more times, I may even like one of them.
But then, I am still not able to accept the way the story ended.. Very very depressing.
