Tamil Movie Review : Kasthooriman
Kasthooriman - Meerajasmine Prasanna
Director – Lohidas
Starring – Meera Jasmine, Prasanna
Production – Sindhu Lohidas
Music Director - Ilayaraja

TThe movie is a remake of a Malayalam movie which was directed by Lohidas in the original version also. An excellent screenplay by the director makes the movie interesting to watch and is something different to the Tamil audience.

The movie starts with a matured getup of Arun Kumar (Prasanna), as a collector of the district. His father Pazhaniappan wants his son to get married for his personal problems. His father once was a rich film producer and he had borrowed money from a rich gentleman and was not able to repay his debt. So, the rich man wanted his daughter to get married to Arun Kumar.

AUma shankari (Meera Jasmine) and Arun (Prasanna) study in the same college. Both have financial problems, but think of the other as coming from a rich family. After a sequence of every, they come to know the true and eventually fall in love.

Uma is a lively, mischievous girl on campus, but at home, she faces acute poverty and takes up various odd jobs to take care

of her house as well as keep away from her sister’s husband, who makes advances towards her.

Arun Kumar is not interested in marriage and the movie goes to flash back. Arun Kumar and Umasankari (Meera Jasmine) studied in the same college and always involved in quarrel with each other. ( Watch out ). How Uma who is tortured by her brother –in – law enters into Arun’s family and gives a big helping hand is the crux of the story. One should watch out how Arun and Uma loves each other and is willing to get married.In the meantime, Arun Kumar’s father attempts because he is deeply in debt. Umashankari steps in and helps Arun who is preparing for I.A.S exams. She does everything to ensure that he become an IAS officer. He is turn, promises to marry her and rescue her from her situation. However Uma in an encounter with his brother-inj –law , lands in prison, and how the couple finally unites is brought out in an impressive climax – typical of the direction’s touch.

It’s Meera Jasmine’s show all the way. Be it the bubbly college girl, a responsible daughter or a caring lover, the actress has given a memorable performance. She won several awards for the original version, and one wouldn’t be surprised if she picks up one for this film as well.

The supporting cast, comprising the villainous brother- in law played by Shammy, his loud and uncouth mother, Vinodhini as Meera’s sister, Sarath Babu as Arun’s father, have been aptly cast by the director .holidays should be lauded for coming out with a brilliant movie sans the usual masala and other commercial fillers.writer jay Mohan’s dialogues and Ilayaraja’s music are excellent. On the whole a must –watch film for the entire family.

An excellent performance by Meera Jasmine and she has once again proved that she could fetch name by her acting and not exposing her skin. Meera will make a round in Tamil cinema for her performance in this movie. Nothing special to say about Prassana’s performance but he has done his work properly with much of ease.

As usual, Ilayaraja has scored up pleasant tunes and nothing special from the technical side. The whole credit goes to the director Lohidas for his excellent scripting and screenplay. Really, he has proved that he is unique among the directors of the industry. The added beauty to the movie is dialogue, which are penned by Jaya Mohan.

The movie will attract only certain segment of audience!
