Directors
are now venturing in front of
the camera more often than ever,
but never before have 10 of
them featured together in one
movie. Mayandi Kudumbathar will
be the first of its kind for
bringing together 10 directors
in front of the camera. The
only director on the set not
to have acted |

in this movie is Rasumadhuravan, the director
of this movie. It is not easy for a young
director to be at the helm of affairs when
there are 10 experienced and successful
directors around. But, Rasumadhuravan seems
to have pulled this off with the cooperation
of all the directors turned actors.
Mayandi Kudumbathar, as claimed by the makers,
is a family film with lots of action but
devoid of violence. We will have to see
the movie to know what exactly that means.
Tarun Gopi (of Thimuru and Kaalai fame)
makes his acting debut in the lead role.
There are two heroines in the movie, both
being played by new faces Poonkodi and Thamizharasi.
Apart from Tarun Gopi, Seeman will be seen
in a very important role. Veterans Manivannan
(who is now considered more an actor than
director) and G.M Kumar will also essay
key characters in the movie which is all
about family feuds and the resulting clashes
which are finally resolved when a secret
held for years is revealed. Seeman and Tarun
Gopi play foster brothers in the movie and
the story is said to revolve around this
issue.
At the outset, this movie might look like
a regular village story, where the sickle
is the final word. But, the unit has ensured
that Mayandi Kudumbathar will not conform
to such stereotypes. Shot in the rustic
settings of Vathalakundu, Theni and the
surrounding regions, Mayandi Kudumbathar
will bring alive the rural life of Tamil
Nadu. Music scored by the Sabesh Murali
team should add to the value of Mayandi
Kudumbathar.
Releasing this Friday, Mayandi Kudumbathar
is interesting due to its cast. For once,
we will get to see a wholesale performance
of directors and perhaps we can evaluate
whether directors are indeed good at practicing
what they expect from the actors. |
