Why you probably want to watch it:
- Vimal returns after his Debut Film Pasanga
- Another realistic film set in rural Tamil Nadu
The good: Simple yet entertaining plot, Great Casting and Performances.
The bad: The Songs don't make a big impression
Look out for: Ganja Karuppu who brings down the house in a hilarious role
Bottomline: 2010 has not been a great year for the Tamil film Industry. Not that many big blockbusters or high-quality films that have received Positive Word-of-Mouth. Kalavani has to be one of the exceptions and one of the best films this year. Small Production house (Big Relief!), Quiet release and now a Box Office Success thanks to all the great buzz. The plot is simple; almost non-existent but the execution by Debutant director Surkunam makes all the difference. Vimal who made an impressive debut in a supporting role in Pasanga, is Arikki your typical village 'Bum' with a bunch of wayward guys to hang out with. He falls almost instantly in love with Maheshwari (Oviya) and what follows is a series of interesting twists and turns. The Screen chemistry between Vimal and Oviya is terrific and keeps the film together. Kalavani is one of those rare films set in the heart of rural Tamil Nadu that is not marred by violence. There is tension, there are moments when you think the 'Aruvals' are going to come into play but it never gets gory. Worth a watch!
Running Time: 145 mins (Approx)
