Hi all,
Movies have become my favorite time pass in this city, not just the new ones, am seeing the old ones now. When I was going through a popular site which has almost all the tamil movies, I came across this movie. This movie, very few people know, and it was not a blockbuster as far as I know.
Most surprising thing about this movie is that it's the first movie of K.S.Ravikumar, who is one of the well established 'producer's director' as they call him. KSR who is known for his commercial flicks, has never been seen as a technical director nor a strong story oriented director. But this movie made me feel the opposite way.
The movie entirely is a thriller, came in the 90s, but even now it gives you the necessary thrill.
The story is simple , it describes a murder, and the whole movie is about finding out who did that. It doesnt involve heroism dialogues, or superior logical thinking to solve it. The way the screenplay moves is how you and me will react under that situation, so not a masala movie, where hero always wins.
The main cast for the story is Rahman, Raghuvaran, Rekha. Raghuvaran's role is just awesome, and nobody can enact his role the way he did that.
Rahman, a prisoner being convicted for a murder case, escapes from jail and in the process of escaping, lands up in Rekha's house by accident, and asks her to protect her from police, as they both knew each other from their college days. And Rahman finds that Rekha has killed her husband Raghuvaran, just minutes before Rahman entered the house. They both decide to hide the murder, and proceed to do so. The movie unfolds with a series of events, which leads more to the story, which leads on to more information on murders happened in the story. Then finally the case unfolds like there are some murders which are linked but no clue to lead who commited all those.
The story justifies the title 'puriyadha puthir' meaning a confusing riddle. The climax is apt for the story, and the screenplay is just awesome. The screenplay forms the main highlighting factor of the movie, without which it would have been a ordinary cop-thief story. While movies like Thalapathy, Ravanan took the negative character as the main lead of the story, and justified the story from their point of view, this movie has shown everything from a different view, to make you guess who is the murderer, it never shows who is the main lead of the movie, all characters having a beautiful part to play shows the movie from everybody's perspective, multiple perspectives in a movie is not a cake walk to handle, one scene more or less would spoil the party.
Till the last scene, where the mystery is solved, the movie has enough twists to keep you engaged, except for a song which kinda slowed down the movie, its a good flick.
Raghuvaran's role, fetched him a lot of accolades for his role, and its not just another role,which everybody gets a chance to play with, Raghuvaran has essayed his role with terrific ease.
The ' I Know' scene of the movie, is still widely known, the only scene which I remembered , before seeing the movie now. I forgot the plot, the climax, but this scene I remembered even after decades. That shows the impact of the scene, the way Raghuvaran did it.
Another important thing in the movie is that, usually crime stories doesnt have much comedy in it, but this has enough comedy too, sometimes you feel its unnecessary, but its good when compared to the movies which was releasing in the 90s.
The movie has technical aspects too, considering the time the movie released. The first scene where Rahman escapes from the jail shows KSR's thinking , the initial scenes will cover only the middle portion of the screen, and then when a door is opened or something like that happens, the full screen is used to show details. This is in 90s, while now in 2010, we have Mysskin showing only below the knee level in the full screen, this is nothing but a advance in thinking of what KSR did in 90s.
The movie is a must watch for all who love thrillers, and mystery.
