Parijatham
may be a big comeback for Bhagyaraj. It reinforces
his standing as a master storyteller. He must
be congratulated for not diluting his unique brand
in the name of catering to today’s audience.
He is always known for a crafty screenplay in
which the twists and turns are built up right
till the end when he clears up the glitches. Thankfully,
he has continued in the same vein in Parijatham
too. |

Sentimental
fare
At the core of the film is the story of the transformation
of a girl. Belonging to a rich family which falls
on bad times, the young girl is faced with a dilemma
of choice. How she resolves the seemingly irreconcilable
differences forms the interesting thread. Sarathbabu
must receive the biggest bouquet for a fine performance.
He has lent the character dignity and realism.
The dialogues are simple but powerful. The sentimental
touch to his problems and his inability to articulate
about them openly have been portrayed well.

Fine
debut for Saranya
Saranya, Bhagyaraj’s daughter, resembles
her mother Poornima. She has acted with
great élan and does not show nervousness
of a first film. Besides, she has also worked
hard to come up to her father’s exacting
standards. Whether as a happy-go-lucky girl
who brings down the house in her encounter
with the hero, Prithviraj or as the responsible
daughter who stands by her father for the
sake of family honor, Saranya has shouldered
her responsibilities very well. |

Hail
Prakashraj!
Prakashraj wins thumbs up again. His role of the
father concerned about the future of his son brings
out fine nuances of traits in every such father.
His body language is remarkable. The tussle between
father and son also sees him steal a march over
the young hero. Youth wishing to enter cinema
should learn a lot from Prakashraj. |

Bhagyaraj
stamps
Bhagyaraj appears in his trademark style
to tie up the loose ends. His brand of humor
brightens up the proceedings. After the
Chokkathangam fiasco, Parijatham may well
mark the beginning of another fruitful innings
for him.
On the whole, Parijatham is like a fragrant
flower soaked in the early morning mist!
