It
is very hard to believe that Kollywood
is always proving to its courage and fortitude
that sans big cast (hero, music director….)
still the film can make marvels. Seriously
speaking I was not expecting a lot from
this team of Kalavani except Vimal who
has proved himself to certain level in
Pasanga. It really stands apart from other
small time films in bringing the real
essence of life in village.
I present in this column reasons why Kalavani
must be watched.
The screenplay:
Although the film which doesn’t
boast itself of good story which all the
shoddy films does have in it, but the
undisputed hero has been the screenplay
by director. The fresh feel of story is
being maintained till the end. The small
incidents have been taken care and adhered
into the film. Director has attempted
to narrate the clash between two villages
without any simulated insertions
Vimalraj (The hero):
Vimal has continued his good work from
where he has left in Pasanga. The hero
has taken care in his body language and
dialogues so that it doesn’t remind
us off the earlier offbeat village films.
He has clearly shown the character of
matured actor. The essence of comedy tracks
was also well portrayed by Vimalraj (his
way of asking money to

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Saranya).
He has illustrated his character only off his strengths
rather than not trying off much hyped fights or dialects.
Characterization:
The director has chosen the best possible way to fit
in the characters. Reality is stone of success. The
new girl Oviya who has given the best shot has given
lot of imperative facial expression. The mother character
played by Saranya is well tailor made role which she
has proved in many earlier films, (the dramas created
by her to save the son’s skin) the father role
played by Ilavarasu, the brother role played by Thirumurgan
(the mannerism portrayed by him).at last but not the
least one shouldn’t forget the comedy role played
by Ganja Karuppu, without him the first half would
have slackened.
Cinematography:
Camera showing the rural backdrop of Thanjavur has
been encouraging which has changed the monotonous
of Madurai. The picturesque of fertile lands has given
a fresh feel to the whole play, the particular scene
where Vimal tries absconding with Oviya over the bus
has been worth watching.
Directors touch:
The director has well shaped the hero and has mobilized
the script within the strength of hero which has been
the body language & dialects. He has given importance
to background score rather than shoddy songs, the
sharp and to the point dialects have also been the
stone of success. The director has also succeeded
in inculcating the timing and light hearted comedy.(showing
the position of house & family to his father friend)
The film without usual sentiments, rugged fights,
village politics and gimmicks for which director gets
a huge applause in filming with a non-cinematic approach.
The film director Sargunam stands very tall among
all directors in showing this 150 min of village story
with perfect stamped authority of his own cinematic
approach... He has given all urban dwellers a treat
to watch this village love story, KALAVANI MANADHAI
KALVADIYATHU; I truly take this opportunity of writing
this to make people watch this wonderful film as soon
as possible before it fades away from theatres.
