The Vijay Antony-starrer is loud, mostly boring and has a soft-spoken, kind-hearted protagonist at the center, which was not written on a white paper, but on a tile.
I would like to draw all your attention to what could be a fantastically placed song among the hero intro songs of recent times. I only ask you for 20 seconds.
within 10 minutes Kodiyil Oruvan, we get a song about the protagonist with snapshots of his daily life, which not only tells the audience that the hero Tamil cinema has never seen (duh!) screams instead. In ni kanum kanveIn , we get a glimpse of Vijaya Raghavan (Vijay Antony) – and indeed so, as he goes about his daily chores on a bicycle. Now the clear, natural and simple question that may arise in your mind is what is it? Therefore The markedly different about this song in particular… not much of Tamil cinema. Mass Is this the story? The answer is a resounding no.
Because, in those movies the hero’s good deeds were mostly related to the background or we get to hear about his saintliness through songs, if you pay attention. but in Kodiyil OruvanLooks like we’ve finally found the answer Why The mass heroes of Tamil cinema are good hearted and diamond feet.
Kodiyil Oruvan
- Cast: Vijay Antony, Athmika, Divya Prabha and Ramachandra Raju
- Director: Anand Krishnanani
- What is it about?: There is no greater good than serving the people: Vijay Raghavan believes in electioneering as a pledge to his once-politicized mother.
Watch this: In the above song, Vijaya Raghavan leads an elderly woman when he finds her unable to walk; He delivers medicines and groceries to the needy, takes care of his mother, goes swimming, works as a part-time teacher to children, can sometimes be seen practicing boxing and helping woodcutters. does too. He also rides a bicycle. oh wait! Looks like we discussed in the previous paragraph. Given the myriad roles she played, I half expected Vijaya Raghavan to do a quick tap dance while tossing a pan while preparing a schezwan curry. And I’m pretty sure I missed at least two roles in his everyday works.
From this peculiar, yet very real description of the song, you, the reader, should have now figured out the kind of film Kodiyil Oruvan Is.
This is the latest entry in the never-ending list of Tamil cinema crowd pleasers, which is not an issue. but How Have you invented something new with this tried and tested formula, that’s the question. It’s a movie that milks cheese Mother sentiment, but holds true to the conventions of Kodambakkam-ness.
Like, for example, it is Vijaya Raghavan’s first day of college in a new city. he sits at a table in which miraculously Mother is written on it. What does he do next? Gets emotionally attached and makes us wonder if the director thinks us fools. The ‘goodness’ of this scene sets a precedent for a loud, boring, nonsensical film that follows.
Director Anand Krishnan made a grand debut with Metro, which, for the most parts, had everything put together in an orderly manner. In Kodiyil Oruvan, he bombards with whatnot as a screenwriting approach.
Take this: Vijaya Raghavan lives in a housing board in Chennai. When he sees a boy urinating outside his house, he does something spectacular: He gives the boy a seed and asks him to plant it there. The next day, the boy comes to pick up a leak, but when he sees Ankur, decides to catch it. This is what happens when you take ‘sowing the seed’ literally.
I wonder why Vijaya Raghavan doesn’t give a lecture from J Krishnamurthy’s book when a politician harass her. I mean, he could have some ideas and we could all happily go home.
