Mahesh Saranya Matrum Palar

My Review: Mahesh Saranya Matrum Palar

The makers don't proclaim it to be a classic or a masterpiece or a movie of the lifetime, yet it moves even those with stony heart to tears .This one joins the line of movies which became huge hits more due to thier strong climax than anything else like Love Today , Sollamale...etc."Kool productions", who gave us one of the better movies of this year in "Pudichirukku" have come back with yet another good one.

Plot: A glimpse of the life of MAHESH, SARANYA, MATRUM PALAR...

Sakthi: Man, this guy has improved by a mile from his forgettable debut.Here he has concentrated on perfecting one emotion at a time rather than trying to be "jack of all trade but king of none" as he tried in his debut.He has wonderfully underplayed his part to a great deal .Watch out for the climax scenes.He deserves special applause for that alone.

Sandhya: It is shocking to see her almost double the size since the time we last saw her.Not only she looks plump ,her acting also doesn't impress much.She looks more older than Sakthi.

Saranya Mohan: She continues with her merry cheerful self here too.She has more scope & screen space than Sandhya and has utilized it well.

As far as supporting cast goes , not everyone fits the bill.Some of their acting look amatuerish but a few like Sakthi's father , grandfather , Srinath and the one who comes as Sandhya's friend impresses.

Vidhyasagar's music and BGM is a shocker.Wondering what went wrong with him.It has been a while now since he has given a riveting musical.

Gunasekaran's cinematography is not spectacular but adequate & ably supports the story.

P.V.Ravi , who has written story, screenplay ,dialogs & has directed the movie , seems to believe in sticking on to a simple story which is told in an impressive ,fresh narrative style & ending it up with a stunning climax.Some scenes between Sandhya and Sakthi reminds us of the famous "Kushi" Vijay-Jothika confrontations with even similar dialogs thrown in.

The movie goes at a snail pace but the happening keeps one hooked to the screen.May be he would have added more depth to the love story .Than the impact would have been even greater.

Bottomline: Feel-good wholesome Family entertainer.

3.5/5
