Subramaniapuram

My review:Subramaniapuram



SUBRAMANYAPURAM is the address of yet another promising young director, M.Sasikumar, who not only has a keen eye for details but also a very good visual sense. Mark the man , you will get to see greater things from him in the future.

Plot: Nothing new - "kathi eduthavan kathiayaleye saavan " .But the treatment is very fresh .

Acting :
Jai:  Who resembles Vijay in his looks and Simbu in his voice , has gone to the next level from his Chennai 28 days. Very impressive in his expressions and emotions esp. at the climax .wow! Need to improve dialog delivery though.

Swathi : Very good looking ; her eyes convey all the messages while her mouth remain a "mute" spectator . One for the future.

Sasikumar: as an actor , a real revelation . Brooding eyes and rude body language - apt for that character.

All supporting actors have done more than a decent job esp. Kanja Karupu, heroine's scheming Chithappa , the disabled friend of the heroes .

Art direction : a very professional debut. The ambience , properties , looks - every thing from the ads in the background , vehicles , number plates , dresses , 10 Rs note -very authentic in bringing the 80's feel . KUDOS MAN.


Cinematography : Kathir has gone along with the narration without disturbing it with gimmicks . He , along with the art director and director , present to us a visual symphony on screen.

Music : James Vasanthan , Tv anchor, is another hidden talent unearthed in the movie.2 songs are very good and BGM suits very well the mood of the movie.

M. Sasikumar - story , screenplay , dialogue and direction. Has done a meticulous job of presenting a story and screenplay , though cliched , in a new ambiance and succeeded in it too. Story lacks novelty , Screenplay in the 1st half wavers and drags and too much of blood and gore (some scenes are definitely not for the weak hearted) BUT hard-work of the team shows overshadowing these negatives with a very excellent presentation.

Bottomline: I doubt the future of the movie in B.O but the FUTURE LOOKS VERY BRIGHT FOR ALL THOSE WHO ARE PART OF THIS MOVIE .

IMPRESSIVE (but for the Blood bath)

3.5 / 5
