Riya Poongodi
Direction:
Anita Udeep
Music:
Bobo Shashi
Production:
Anita Udeep |

The
title could be reminiscent of
all things pleasant in this
inexorably hot weather, but
watching debutant director Anita
Udeep’s Kulir doesn’t
have the same effect. Anita,
after probably having set out
to deliver a message-movie,
has lagged behind soon enough
and ended up doing just the
opposite.
Sanjeev’s father Aditya
is an infamous gangster and
his mother splits from him to
raise her son away from the
bad father’s presence.
Sanjeev, however, grows to be
nothing less than a gangster
displaying the characteristics
of his genes – roughing
up his teacher at school and
getting expelled from the school.
The mother sends him to Ooty
to a better and disciplined
school in a hope that her son
gets a better life.
The Ooty school life, however,
awakens his murderous instincts
after the death of his roommate.
He tracks down his rival classmates
who are responsible for the
killing and executes them one
by one. Even better, the police
do not find a clue and writes
down the cases as natural deaths.

After having successfully vindicated, Sanjeev
returns home only to find out that he is
punished in a different manner.
Justifying the acts of murder by a teenager
is precisely the major issue of the movie
that sticks out like a sore thumb. Besides,
the plot leaves a lot to be desired too.
With a running time of 2 hours, the movie’s
first half sustains only in the goofy antics
of Bobo Sashi, who has also scored for the
movie. Not to mention, the latter part trickles
down to nothingness.
The title song sung by Silambarasan and
the Mudanmurayaga song stand out in Bobo
Sashi’s composition in the otherwise
insipid background music scene. Anita is
let down majorly by the lack of drive in
the plot and she is going to hear a lot
of ‘there is no story in the movie’
in the near future.
If you are in a mood for risk, we suggest
you try Kulir. Chances are that the title
will have an effect on you – when
in an A/C theatre with only vacant chairs
for company, that is.
Verdict:
Experience the cold!
