similar to a regular Kollywood product.
Narrating a few disturbing events that a
middle class Indian family in the USA has
to face, Achchamundu Achchamundu is all
set to break most of the conventions of
Tamil cinema. The movie will be completely
faithful to the main plot and the script,
there will be no unnecessary deviations
in the name of item songs, duets or comedy.
In short, it is as different or distant
a Tamil film that one is likely to come
across.
Shot completely in the USA, the makers have
also vouched for the fact that this movie
will break the preconceived notions of the
country that have been created by Tamil
films thus far. Most Tamil films that have
gone to the USA have mostly stuck to New
York, Los Angeles or other such big cities,
creating a larger than life impression of
the country. But, Achchamundu Achchamundu
will be set in a calm suburb of USA. Directed
by Arun Vaidyanathan, Achchamundu Achchamundu,
is a movie that according to its makers
has to be seen along with children, because
it shows things that they ought to know
about.
Prasanna and Sneha are perhaps the only
links that Achchamundu Achchamundu has with
mainstream Kollywood cinema, all else is
really unconventional, including the Red
One camera that has been used to shoot the
movie. Karthik Raja’s music seems
to be tailored for a movie of this kind.
There is also the very curious and brave
decision to have almost 45 minutes of the
movie without any background score. Looks
like he knows what he is doing. The few
international awards that the movie has
already got are proof for this. Let’s
prepare for fear and let’s be prepared
for something really different. |
