![]() He has tried something different yet so familiar. This is a debut film for director Sribalaji. Their dialogue delivery, portrayal of down-to-earth attitude and innocence is commendable. All four guys have done an exceptional job. But the real highlights are the Kullanari kootam (Fennec Fox gang). The casting for Vetri’s family members are near perfect. She has very little to do in the movie, but with whatever is there to perform she has done well. Remya is pretty and pleasing to watch (She resembles Divya Spandana Kuthu Ramya at many instances). It suits him and he has executed the role perfectly in this movie. This is Vishnu Vishal’s 4th movie and in all four movies his character is almost the same: a naive but straight forward youngster with a will and wish to win. And by now if you had concluded that this is a typical kollywood plot, you are wrong.The second half of the movie shows how Vetri meets with a gang of good-hearted youngsters aspiring to become policemen and together how they manage to become policemen. Priya’s father is a policeman and he promises to give her away in marriage to Vetri if and only if he becomes a policeman. A few missed calls and some staged encounters leads to love blossom between these two. Apparently (predictably) the random number belongs to a pretty girl Priya (Remya Nambeesan). Vishnu accidentally recharges a random mobile number when his father entrusts him with the responsibility of recharging his prepaid mobile balance. Vishnu’s father is a strict headmaster and he despises the entire lot of policemen for some unknown reason. There ends the Madurai connection for this movie. He lives with his family in a small house in Madurai and a few songs and scenes have been shot in typical Madurai landmarks. He spends his happy little life on the Rs 10 per day allowance from his father. Vetri (Vishnu Vishal) is a jobless MBA graduate loitering around harmlessly and aimlessly. It’s a story of a random young man from a middle class family and his love story filled with adventurous twists and funny friends. ![]() But as the Movie progressed I felt that though they have not captured the real pulse of Madurai lifestyle, they are not here to tarnish the city’s image. The moment the Kullanari Kootam movie started with the title credits on foreground and Madurai cityscape in background, I thought this is yet another movie set to deface Madurai. ![]() Yes, Madurai is not a metro city, but it definitely is a peaceful town and among the last few cities on earth where Tamil is spoken like Tamil and the Tamil culture is still alive. ![]() Looking into the recent trend, Tamil movies tend to portray Madurai as an uncivilized village filled with uncouth and loud mouthed villains, hillbilly heroes among people hacking each other to death with sickles and machetes as part of their regular lifestyle. ![]()
