THOZHA TAMIL MOVIE INCORRIGIBLE COPY MOVIE
But surely introduction of Tractors and modern technology is inevitable, and the Luddite like solution promoted in the movie cannot be taken seriously. Manorama plays a gem of a role as the ‘aacchi’ for joint family and Cheran makes a point about the dying preference for agriculture as people migrate to cities looking for a better life. In a flashback we learn of the tragedy and the current context of the virulent hatred shown for them by Vinu Chakravarthy and his son. It may be a minor quibble, but it is irritating that the director ends up reinforcing the age-old stereotype while trying to show a modern take on relationships.īut things are not meant to be that smooth and we learn that the family is keen to marry Shamitha to her 40-year-old ‘muraimaman’, played by Ranjith, and who is expected to return shortly after serving a 12 year term in prison for killing his younger sister who eloped with her lover.
We have a fun moment when the couple sing paeans to friendship between a boy and girl ( Thozha Thozha Kanavu Thozha…) and then promptly fall in love. It is the old mix that appeals to the segment since a girl with a mind of her own usually gets stereotyped as being a brat and selfish. She is shown to be a well-educated girl with homely values and respect for her elders. He becomes friendly with Shamitha, Rajkiran’s niece. (A nice cameo by the real-life father and son duo).Īrun Vijay impresses the family with his approach and work ethic. He in turn deputes his son Arun Vijay to the task.
They approach Vijay Kumar whose forefathers had specialized in constructing heritage structures keeping in mind the natural environment and lifestyles of a bygone era. Now relatively prosperous, the group of 3 brothers and 1 sister headed by Rajkiran, playing the signature role of an ageing patriarch, has decided to return for good and rebuild their old house to its former glory. The movie opens with quiet scenes of a family returning to the ancestral home that now lies in shabby ruins and one is intrigued by the past tragedy that must have forced the family to abandon their roots and move to the city. At one level the movie is just a typical village saga for family rivalries and the mindless violence that destroys many lives.īut the movie needs to be appreciated for it taut screenplay and nuanced performances that set it a cut above the run-of-the-mill films. Cheran’s initial movies focussed on the rural scene and were quite melodramatic.
