Cast: Krishna, Bindu Madhavi, Karunas, Thambi Ramaiah
Music: Yuvan Shankar Raja
Direction: Sathyasiva
Director Sathyasiva has get a hold of a film that takes an in depth have a look at men who're taken with the job of taking bodies of these who commit suicide jumping from the hill top at Kodaikanal. The filmmaker seems to have done intense research and ensures that their emotions are recorded well on big screen.
WIth only a few characters, he has penned a touchy tale. Krishna, Bindhu Madjhavi, Thambi Ramia and Karunas form a part of the solid. Jayaprakash plays a restrained role. Music is by Yuvan Shankar Raja.
Sera (Krishna) together with his friends Nandu (Karunaas) and Shanmugham (Thambi Ramiah) earns livelihood as body lifters in Kodaikanal. Death is something that feeds them. But romance blossoms between Kavitha (Bindhu Madhavi) and Sera, who retrieves the body of Kavitha’s sister who commits suicide. Sera is convinced to marry Kavitha against all odds. All goes easy and smooth until Ayya (Jayaprakash) involves the scene. One act of him lands Shanmugham in trouble. Sera and Nandu in big trouble. Finally all results in a war between them. There's lack of lives and who prevails in any case forms the climax.
Krishna plays an excellent foil as Sera. He emotes well. He has proved that he can do serious roles readily. Bindhu Madhavi does a good job, while Karunaas and Thambi Ramiah walks away with applause playing a groovy role well. Jayaprakash deserves accolades for pulling it off well. All other characters pitch of their best.
Sathya’s cinematography and Remiyan’s art direction compliments well the script. The camera captures Kodaikanal in natural light. Catch the most efficient of melodious by Yuvan Shankar Raja. His songs are amazing and sweet. SO is his background score. Sathyasiva’s dialogues too are best and cool.
All said, the movie produced by Talking Times is different. It speaks about pain and agony of a specific community. The second one half wanders and is lengthy, but still watchable.
Verdict: Slick movie by New Director
