under the able guidance of Cheran
has created the magic of a period
film encompassing the old matchbox,
post office, tram, hospital, railway
station etc which transports the viewer
to a bygone era.
Pokkisham also happens to be Sabesh
Murali’s silver jubilee film
and the duo has aptly understood Cheran’s
yearning and has scored lilting melodies
in tune with the times. The crew vouches
for a seamless editing by Saravana
Ayappan.
In short, Pokkisham talks about the
treasured love which is disappearing
in the contemporary times. We have
lost the immaculate love cherished
and hailed by the Tamil literature
and culture to the demonic growth
of civilization. The soft love has
given way to software slush.
“Love is a magical feeling which
needs to be felt”, says director/actor
Cheran. He appeals to everyone to
safeguard and cherish love. Further
on he says, “I am off to unearth
the love in you and in me.”
Did the love birds whose love blossomed
from friendship succeed in love, breaking
all the barriers? Or did they end
their lives falling in love? Answer
lies in Pokkisham. |
