00:00Vanakkam Ammukkalai!

00:02This week in Tamil cinema,

00:04the most anticipated film by everyone

00:06is the Mayalakan film,

00:08which has been released today.

00:10The reason is that

00:12Prem Kumar, who directed the 1996 film,

00:14has released his second film after many years.

00:16Similarly,

00:18a year after Karthi's gap,

00:20this film was released.

00:22In 2021, there were 63 films.

00:24The last film he directed was

00:26Japan, which flopped in February.

00:28Will there be a comeback?

00:30How was this film?

00:32We are going to see that in this video.

00:34First, let's talk about the film.

00:36The film starts in 1996.

00:38Where does it end?

00:40Prem Kumar knows the story.

00:42So, the story begins in 1996.

00:44Aravind Swamy,

00:46has a small problem with his wealth.

00:48He lives in a place called

00:50Nidamangalam,

00:52in Tanjavur district.

00:54His family lives there.

00:56So, the story begins there.

00:58He has a small problem with his family.

01:00He has a wealth problem.

01:02So, he leaves to Chennai.

01:04His family, his parents,

01:06everyone leaves.

01:08After that,

01:10in 2018,

01:12after 22 years,

01:14they got married and had children.

01:16Yes, they had children.

01:18After that,

01:20in 2018,

01:22he goes to Nidamangalam.

01:24His sister is his uncle's daughter.

01:26So, he goes to Nidamangalam

01:28to attend his sister's wedding.

01:30After attending the wedding,

01:32everyone goes to Nidamangalam.

01:34He plans to go to Nidamangalam,

01:36shave his head and

01:38have food there.

01:40At that place,

01:42a person comes and

01:44says,

01:46brother, how are you?

01:48How are your parents?

01:50I don't know who he is.

01:52Similarly,

01:54Aravind Swamy is hiding there.

01:56He doesn't know who he is.

01:58Then, there is Karthik,

02:00who is called Athan.

02:02Karthik and Aravind Swamy,

02:04both of them have the same problem.

02:06How do they get along?

02:08Karthik doesn't even know

02:10who Aravind Swamy is.

02:12How does he find out who he is?

02:14What does Karthik teach him?

02:16There are many things like this.

02:18They talk about history,

02:20history, history...

02:22The whole story is about

02:24the drama and emotions

02:26between them.

02:28Let's see the next positive.

02:30Let's see the actor's performance.

02:32The film is two hours and 50 minutes long.

02:34It takes two days to travel.

02:36Karthik and Aravind Swamy.

02:38Aravind Swamy's character is

02:40Arulmooli Varman.

02:42Everyone knows him because

02:44he's from Thanjavur.

02:46He's an introvert.

02:48He wants to leave immediately.

02:50He doesn't know who Karthik is.

02:52But Karthik gives him a lot of love.

02:54He doesn't want to leave him alone.

02:56At some point,

02:58they start bonding.

03:00We've seen Aravind Swamy's performance

03:02in many films.

03:04He's done it in Bombay.

03:06The reason is that

03:08Thanjavur is the best.

03:10But in this film,

03:12his performance is great.

03:14In this film,

03:16Karthik doesn't know

03:18who he is.

03:20He gives him a lot of love.

03:22He's in guilt.

03:24When he goes to Chennai,

03:26he calls him and tells him

03:28that he doesn't know who he is.

03:30He has a great performance.

03:34He doesn't know how to express

03:36his feelings.

03:38Aravind Swamy has scored

03:40in many places.

03:42Next is Karthik.

03:44We are going to watch

03:46two actors for three hours.

03:48We know how to express their performance.

03:50Karthik has shown

03:52a great performance.

03:54Karthik is a village boy.

03:56He's a middle-aged man.

03:58But the Karthik you saw earlier

04:00and the Karthik in this film

04:02are very different.

04:04Kumban, Paruthiveeran,

04:06Viruman...

04:08Karthik in this film

04:10is totally different.

04:12Karthik is very innocent.

04:14At the same time,

04:16he has spoken about the culture

04:18in the village.

04:20He has tried to speak

04:22a lot of Thanjavur slang.

04:24I have a doubt.

04:26In Thanjavur slang,

04:28they use a lot of slang.

04:30In this film,

04:32they use Madurai slang.

04:34Paruthiveeran Karthik

04:36has come late.

04:38Overall, Karthik's performance

04:40is very good.

04:42Karthik has brought out

04:44his innocence.

04:46Karthik's face suits this character.

04:48In this film,

04:50Sreedeviya is a small character.

04:52But she has done a neat performance.

04:54Raj Karad

04:56appears in the first half

04:58and second half of the film.

05:00But he has scored well.

05:02Especially,

05:04Arunasamy's father

05:06has a scene where he cries.

05:08He has scored well.

05:10Actor Ilavarasu

05:12and Deva Darshani

05:14have all done a great job.

05:16We can't complain about the actors.

05:18Next is Ekunar.

05:20Yes, Prem Kumar.

05:22In 1996,

05:24we saw how he

05:26captured the emotions

05:28between the characters.

05:30In 1996,

05:32we can easily feel

05:34the emotions of the characters.

05:36In this film,

05:38we can feel

05:40Arunasamy's emotions.

05:42We can feel

05:44Karthik's innocence.

05:46Prem Kumar has scored well

05:48in that emotion side.

05:50The screenplay

05:52is very important

05:54in the film.

05:56If it gets boring,

05:58people will start using mobile phones.

06:00But in this film,

06:02they have thought

06:04of using mobile phones.

06:06In the first half of the film,

06:08everyone in the theatre

06:10gets emotional.

06:12He goes to his sister's wedding.

06:14After 22 years,

06:16he meets his sister.

06:18The bonding between them

06:20is very good.

06:22He asks his sister

06:24to put the gift on his feet.

06:26I get teary when he says that.

06:28That scene was perfect.

06:30Everyone in the theatre

06:32has nostalgic memories.

06:34Even though the film was shot in 1996,

06:36when we go back to our hometown,

06:38we miss these things.

06:40We drink coffee

06:42with local cow's milk.

06:44He has touched on many things.

06:46Jallikattu portion,

06:48Karikala Cholan,

06:50Thuppakki Choodu,

06:52Thuthukulam...

06:54He has touched on many things.

06:56But still,

06:58Jallikattu portion,

07:00Thuppakki Choodu...

07:02Do we need all these?

07:04Maybe he wanted to say

07:06Karikala Cholan last year.

07:08Or Arunmozhi Varman.

07:10I think he was a bit confused.

07:16Maybe it was a bit additional.

07:18It felt a bit out of track.

07:20It felt like

07:22we were talking

07:24just to talk about it.

07:26The duration of the film is 2 hours 50 minutes.

07:28The first half of the film

07:30ended quickly.

07:32In the second half,

07:34Jallikattu, Karikala Cholan...

07:36Kodiwood's second half,

07:38Curse, Strikes Again...

07:40There's not much of a connection

07:42between the scenes and the film.

07:44Even if we had removed it,

07:46it would have been crispier.

07:48But it didn't bore us.

07:50It's okay.

07:52People who live in their native places

07:54and miss their hometowns

07:56are our relatives.

07:58Do you know how our relatives are?

08:00When Karthi speaks,

08:02I don't know if it will connect

08:04to everyone.

08:06The DOP of the next film

08:08was very beautiful.

08:10When we go to a countryside

08:12and shoot it,

08:14the DOP is very important.

08:16It shows the landscape.

08:18The aesthetic side of the movie

08:20was very beautiful.

08:22Mahendran Jayaraj did the DOP

08:24in a very perfect way.

08:26In Thanjavur,

08:28there's a green forest.

08:30In the beginning,

08:32there's a road between

08:34Vizag and Wayakadu.

08:36It was shot with a top view.

08:38It was very beautiful.

08:40Usually, there are films

08:42that show the landscape.

08:44In Tamil cinema,

08:46there are many places

08:48that don't do that.

08:50There are many beautiful places.

08:52Last year,

08:54in Veeran's film,

08:56we showed the landscape.

08:58There are many beautiful places

09:00in our city.

09:02Of course, we all know Thanjavur.

09:04It's a green city.

09:06The DOP did the DOP

09:08in a very perfect way.

09:14On the other hand,

09:16there are night visuals.

09:18In the second half of the film,

09:20there's a scene where

09:22they talk in a dam.

09:24He did that beautifully.

09:26When they drink,

09:28they do it in a natural way.

09:30They pour it in a pot.

09:32It was good to see that.

09:34There are small moments

09:36that we can enjoy.

09:38It was good for the editor.

09:40It was good for Govindaraj.

09:42If he had been more strict

09:44and told Prem to cut some scenes,

09:46the film would have been

09:48more engaging.

09:52You forgot another Govindaraj.

09:54Govindaraj's music.

09:56I thought you'd say Govindaraj.

09:58Govindaraj's music.

10:00He always scores properly.

10:02At the beginning,

10:04when he heard a violin sound,

10:06he was like...

10:08Govindaraj's iconic violin.

10:10He did that beautifully.

10:12There are songs in the film.

10:14Let's talk about the song.

10:16Kamal Haasan's song,

10:18Yaro Ivan.

10:20At the beginning of the film,

10:22there's a song called Yaro Ivan.

10:24That's when we connect with the film.

10:26We don't know the story.

10:28We don't know why it's called Yaro Ivan.

10:30At the climax,

10:32there's a song.

10:34Everyone melts.

10:36Kanmani Anbu's love song.

10:38It's a hit.

10:40At the climax,

10:42when it's heart-breaking,

10:44he's like...

10:46He's singing Kamal Haasan's song.

10:48When I heard his song,

10:50it was beautiful.

10:52Overall,

10:54it's a beautiful film.

10:56It's a decent watch.

10:58Will everyone like it?

11:00Will it appeal to the commercial audience?

11:02That's my doubt.

11:04People who grew up in Chennai

11:06know a lot of new things.

11:08It's a new experience for the 2K kids.

11:10It's a new experience for the 90s kids.

11:20Some may get bored.

11:22It's a decent watch.

11:24You can watch it with your family.

11:28If you've seen the film,

11:30comment below what you think of it.

11:32We'll meet again next week.
