PASANGA Movie Review

Sunday, June 14th, 2009 | Author: Vivek

I watched this Movie yesterday after hearing that my brother and parents are going to the Movie. I wanted to see a Trailer of the Movie at least and searched for it in You Tube. Surprisingly, i found the entire movie in You Tube. Here is a Review of the Movie…

The stroy is about two families who live opposite each other in a small town called Virachalai in  Pudukottai District. The narration of the story is based on the Children’s Point of View, where one kid is a Good Guy (Anbukarasu IAS) and the other kid is the Baddie(Jeeva)… Not a Baddie exactly, but a little less Good Guy than the other.

The story starts with a Cinematic entry of the Kids, with the Children imitating Kaakha Kaakha and Vettaiyadu Vilayadu in many scenes. It then shows the enmity between the two kids which later becomes a feud between both the families. In parallel, runs a sweet love story between Anbu’s uncle (MeenakshiSundaram) and Jeeva’s elder sister (Sobikannu). Then there is a fight between the parents of Anbu which affects the Children. Jeeva’s Dad who is also a Teacher in the School and is portrayed as a villain in some parts before, then advises Anbu’s Dad and everything is resolved. “Naama thaan uyiroda irukuravangala paaraatamaatome“. The love story gets a nod from both families. And finally the two kids get together in the Climax. Though, the Climax is cinematic and we have seen numerous other climaxes like this before, this Movie right from the beginning till the Climax is very interesting and nice.

I would also commend the director for staying focused on the kids throughout the Movie. Even though he handles the love between Anbu’s Uncle and Jeeva’s Sister, he makes sure that the movie does not lose track.  The Scene between the two with the dialog “Avan Pitchai eduka koodathu nu nee ninaikira, Avan Thirudanaida koodathu nu naan ninaikiren” was the best of all. Sometimes, the Scenes between the two gets boring, but still it is fun to watch the subtle Village based love story. When the parents are first informed about the love affair by the kids, they individually discuss the issue with their respective family and then without much hue and cry they agree on each other’s choice. No Screaming, No beating up the Couple, No locking them away… They analyze the pros and cons of this relationship as adults and decide to let the couple marry. And the way the two kids act at home, when the parents discuss the issue is funny. This part of the movie shows the maturity that the current generation expects from its parents.

I loved the Songs Anbaale Azagaagum Veedu and Mazhai Indru Varuma Varuma. Nice Lyrics and Music. The Back Ground Music Score is wonderful. Very good work by James Vasanthan.

On the whole, Pasanga is Refreshingly New and a Must Watch Movie for Tamil Movie Fans.
