Paruthi veeran- "padaipuu"

Amir can retire-this is what I hv been telling to people after seeing the movie.
This comment is from the fact that, for a creative person, if he has produced one best piece of art, he feels fulfillment. Amir may differ in this, he may have something better(i am eagerly waiting!).
Perseverance, hardwork, creativity...the director has all.
The director has really lived the character, simple things like:
Scene: when the girl falls into the well, the boys shouts for help first time, then the second time-his reaction and dilemma, 'whether to wait' or jump to save, he half finishes the words and jumps.
The mixing of comedy at the critical and serious places(Editor -kudos!)
The comedian is brilliant and natural,
'his comments to the policeman after loosing the money in cards'
Though the songs are not going to be evergreen, they Are merged in to the movie.
There is a sense of vulgarity in speech and picture, but that is natural and appropriate, removing them will give a big dent.
Of course there are some cinematic scenes, like the fight sequence (could hv been better)
The crew: to each one of them this is great team effort and there is lot to learn from the project, one misstep and the commercial aspect would hv been at risk. A well balanced movie of commercialization and art.
This movie will not get an Oscars: but people like Amir don't need one, they already have something more in them.
Climax not suitable for children and soft minded people.
