What is so special about Deiva Thirumagal?

Deiva
Thirumagal a movie whose expectation level was
on par with that of any leading actor’s
movies in Tamil cinema has exceeded its expectation
level with its output. Vikram, one of the leading
actors in south India, has done only 7 films since
2003 out of which only Anniyan was both critically
acclaimed and tasted commercial success. He decided
to join hands with Vijay who is considered as
one of the upcoming directors in Tamil Cinema.
Deiva Thirumagal is a sentimental movie which
even touches the hearts of people who hate movies
with sentimental values. It is a movie which doesn’t
make you cry because of a sudden death of a character
or lengthy sentimental dialogues rather it touches
your heart and makes a tear flow quitely.
This will definitely top the ranks in Tamil movies
that portrayed the love between the father and
a daughter. And the most special thing about the
movie is that it is full of emotions, sentiments
WITHOUT cinematic twists and turns. There were
lots of scopes for the director where he could
have twisted the screenplay in a cinematic way
but he takes a path where he tries to move the
screenplay with

characters mindset. Nasser’s change of mind in climax
is a good example of a gentle twist.
Although it is a movie with full of emotions the director
used comedy scenes in a right manner which neither made
audience feel bored nor it affected the mood of the film.
And it is a wise move to make Vikram render his voice
for two songs in which he physically sings in the movie.
Rather than just creating sympathy among the mentally
challenged persons, the film also showcases their positives.
The way Vikram crosses the road waiting for the signal
(even in the second half during critical situation) and
the way his friends could realize that some problem has
surrounded them when they stay in the hotel shows their
perfectness and IQ. If you have stressful mind, hectic
schedule, bounded by work pressure and need to relax then
you can just go for Deiva Thirumagal which will do the
needful.
And this will definitely be one among Vikram’s top
3 performances (so far). The beautiful thing to note is
that Vikram will still be acting with same determination
even when the camera is focused on him in various sequences.
And Sara: What a performance! Just want to say that this
angel will be crowned with National Award for Best Child
Artiste 2011. And one really needs to appreciate the director
for bringing out such a performance from a kid who literally
doesn’t know what a movie is. It is not just about
performance, the chemistry between Krishna and Nila was
mind-blowing. And all the credit goes to the director
for making it.
Nirav’s camera doesn’t seem to experiment
a lot but stayed well within the story which so much important
in a movie of this kind. And GV’s Re-recording has
done justice to emotions that was created.
There may be few reasons that we may watch the film repeatedly.
For example, if you are a hardcore fan of hero and if
the movie is good then you will have another go at it,
and if the film has touched you due to personal reasons
you will have another go. And Deiva Thirumagal is one
such movie which has started an argument between my mind
and heart to watch it again and again.
Inspired or copied it doesn’t matter for me; it
has just created a huge impact which will take some time
to ease out.
