Kallori - A Good Watch
Posted on Dec 09, 2007 under Movies | 3 CommentsThis Saturday(8th Dec) i watched the movie Kallori directed by “Kadhal” fame “Balaji Shakthivel ” and produced by his mentor Shankar’s S Productions .Kallori is not like the director’s last film Kadhal.It talks about the friendship between a group of students who were been friends from their schools and from different social backgrounds .
There are many things in the film to credit the director but i love the characterization of each characters based on their family backgrounds which makes the film more lively .The second thing is the screenplay .It’s a plain narration just like our day to day incidents with no twists and surprises ,even the climax has no cinematic feeling.Actually for each scene i thought this would be the twist but nothing happened as in life.The screen play is well visualized by the cameraman sometimes you can even feel that you are watching some peoples not a film.Not only the hero and heroine but all the friends were given much importance in the screenplay and everybody lived to the expectation.Tamana’s role have a lot of things to prove and she did it well and even with much ease i feel, All others too acted with ease i guess.
The film starts in a bus and ends in a bus itself .It has nothing to tell or taught the society .It is not like autograph to revoke your memories back or like kadhal to feel the depth of love.Most of the fist half film tells about each characters and the later half about the emotions between them.The Screenplay is wonderful while picturing the development of infatuation(a.k.a love) between akil the hero and Tamana.On the fist sight itself akil got impressed by Tamana but he is very normal with her until one of his senior kids him as his lover ,From then his look over her changes but Tamana is very normal until she was told by her friend that their relationship is criticized by the on lookers.She decided to be unaffectionate over him which in turn creates a emptiness in her heart while the sympathy over him makes her feel it’s a different thing unlike with other friends,her possessiveness makes her get anger over some of her friends but she respects the friendship more than anything and keep it close to her hearts .At one point of time she can’t hide that any more and opens to her friend and everyone gives them a positive support.But alas the couples can’t even share their feelings and the movie ends with an angry mob burning that bus keeping the students within which kills the three of their friends including the heroine.
Music is good and especially the song “Un Arugil ” is great.Lyrics by Na.Muthukumar(guess) was simply rolling over the music .BGM’s are not extraordinary as this film don’t need any such .
Finally Kallori is a film with no great cast, no great story, no extraordinary screenplay, no gimmicks but a good film to watch and spend your time.Go and get a ticket soon.
