An
army of young exuberant school
kids are going to invade theaters
this Friday through Pattalam.
This is the second production
of Lingusaamy’s banner
Tirupathi Brothers. A theme
woven around school kids and
their carefree world full of
mischief and fun is seldom explored
in mainstream Tamil cinema.
The last movie one can recollect
on these lines was Kasthuriraja’s
Thulluvadho Ilamai, but even
that was more grown up than
what was expected from a movie
featuring school children. However,

Pattalam, from its trailer, promises to be
a more genuine look into the world of those
who have just about stepped into their teens.
Featuring a host of newcomers along with
the experienced Nadiya, the movie revolves
around how the correspondent of a school
(Nadiya), who also happens to be a psychiatrist,
manages to influence a bunch of young school
kids and turn the school into a model institution.
The newcomers Arun, Kiruba, Sathya, Balaji,
Vikas, Suresh, Hari, Vignesh, Guru and Irfan
were chosen by debutante director Rohan
Krishna after an extensive screening process
during which as many as 500 aspirants were
scrutinized.
The movie claims to be a very genuine representation
of the lives of children in schools and
the methods used to harness their potential.
Any common man will be able to relate to
what happens in the movie.
Rohan Krishan has been an associate of Priyadarshan
and Santhosh Sivan. The story of Pattalam
has been written by Sheeba Rohan, music
has been scored by Jassie Gift (‘Four
Students’ fame). Close to the vacation
season, let’s see whether Pattalam
can re-awaken the school adventure genre.
