Sea Change

I saw "Kaloori" by Sakthivel who directed Kathal - a romantic tragedy.This one seems like its sequel.Its too early to mark it as such.Produced by Shankar again , amidst high expectations , the movie has lived upto its name till the end except for the climax.The directors benchmark has distorted the sweet castles built up in the film.When people see films , some relate their past experiences with the scenes as they roll out.I even smiled unconscionably recalling the greatest moments I had with my friends.Yup , everything in the movie happens with a theme of friendship in the Background.The new faces Akil, Kalai selvi(in the film ) , the two "guys" and the rest of the crew have lived upto their given characters.The film gurantees a bright future for them.But we have to remind ourselves that our Tamil Cinema Industry is unpredictable as it was always.Lets leave that part to God to bring them up.
The camera works and art settings professional though , lacks certain essential elements of the modern era.Director Sakthivel is almost flawless.But we must prepare ourselves to bear the excruciating pain inflicted by his "romantic tragedy" climax.It suitably suggests that the Director has desperately eyed for some "award".I would give a 8.75/10 for this coveted movie.Joshua Sridhar has once again ignited our minds with this ebullient music.It invigorates our soul and transcends them to a new world to enjoy our youthful days(I mean in imagination :-) ).The momentum generated in the second part will definitely win accolades for the Director and the Film Crew.Tammana Bhatia deserves special mention because of her coquettish smile and charming look.(Love at first sight !).
