What better time to release a children’s
flick than summer holidays? Well, it is
a month late, many might think, the holidays
have been on since April. Maybe the IPL
played spoilsport. But, it is finally here
and the kids can have a jolly good time
in theaters – Kutty Pissasu releases
this Friday.
If one remembers right, the last time an
out-and-out children’s movie hit theaters
was in December 2008 with Panchamirtham.
Now, a year and a half later, we have a
product from one of the most senior statesmen
of Tamil cinema, Rama Narayanan. It is indeed
amazing that the veteran still has it in
him to direct full length feature films
and it is even more awing to know that this
is his 120th film. It is indeed rare to
see directors who have gone on to do more
than a 100 films and Rama Narayanan is one
of them.
Kutty Pissasu is unambiguous about its target
audience, the kids, who at this time might
be getting bored with redundant TV programs,

T20 or summer camps that are more tedious than school.
Kutty Pissasu might be just the right antidote to all
that boredom. Ramanarayanan has surely done his homework
about the contemporary tastes of children. They are
no longer interested in Vikram-Vethal kind of mythological
stories or fables from Panchathanthra, they too want
action like their seniors and that is why we have cartoons
like Jetix flourishing. Kutty Pissasu will have a more
hi-tech version of action, the giant robots from the
Transformers. They will be playing a big (quite literally)
part in the movie. That apart, there is the nice old
good vs. evil backdrop in what looks like two forces
(toddlers to be precise) are up in arms against each
other, one being the Satan and the other the angel,
we suppose.
The big highlight of Kutty Pissasu will definitely be
the graphics in use. For a movie that has been conceived
and fully executed in India, Kutty Pisau prima facie
does seem to have set a pretty high standard for graphics,
especially for a children’s film which is presumably
shot on a budget that is not too large. Director Rama
Narayanan must be applauded for making such an effort;
the animation team too deserves a lot of credit. The
film will definitely be a showcase of the local talent
available when it comes to graphics and special effects.
With the summer holidays at their peak, children free
from school and pretty good publicity, Kutty Pissasu
does stand a chance of bringing in the kids (along with
their parents) into theaters. Let’s hope that
the children’s film genre receives a shot-in-the-arm
through Kutty Pissasu.
