Maamannan (2023)
Predominance of lagging
Mariselvaraj is well known for his social discrimination aspects in his films and he did justice to that in his previous movies, he did the same in Maamannan but the film was not up to the mark. It predominantly deals with the caste discrimination and the Contemporary untouchability. But the film also had too many lag. Fahad faasil and Vadivelu had stolen the show. Can see a truly Class performance from our humour legend Vadivelu. Udhay and Keerthi were overshadowed by the performance of FaFa and Vadivelu. The last 15mins of first half was truly a Midas touch of mariselvaraj. The second half had the predominant lag part in the film. But that doesn't mean that it hadn't conveyed the message that the director intended to. As usual we can't pass away without talking about mariselvaraj's animal metaphor, Truly mesmerizing. The climax has the core of the film.
So overall The lagging part had stopped me from giving 4 stars.
Virumandi (2004)
Simply authentic....
One of the best rashomon movies I've ever seen. Also the film deals with the rural aspects in a very intricate manner. Moving a rural concept film in a rashomon narrative isn't a easy task... Kamal sir did that with ease. Truly a cult....
And also the best rural plot film I've ever seen.. it has that authenticity in every shot. When you start to watch the film you'll get attached to that accent. Especially when you watch kamal sir film you can't miss the love aspects nor he will. Abhirami mam did justice to the character annalachumi. Actually annalachumi is a pivotal character in the film, as she hates virumandi in beginning of the film and but you'll get to see when kamal sir confesses in the interview we can clearly see that annalachumi changed his life. As like she tames the bull she tamed the angry young man into a responsible man.
And last but least every character in the film has it's own importance. Especially kotthala devar starred by pasupathui sir, and nallama nayakar starred by Napoleon sir, they all just nailed it..
Virumandi is a film that is truly worth to be watched.
