And then there's shy Thulasi (Swathi) whose smiling eyes takes you right back to the days of Shanti Krishna. Then there's Kanagan, his brother, who is as unscrupulous as they come.
There's Somu, who's an ex-councillor, dissatisfied, and hungry for more political prowess. In a film chock-full of newcomers, it's rather difficult to identify everyone, but in Subramanyapuram, it's easy to relate to the principle players. Lounging around the Sithan Speaker Services Shop are a couple of young men of whom Paraman (M Sasikumar), Azhagar (Jai), and Kasi (Kanja Karuppu) are the important players.
Subramaniapuram video movie#
The first few scenes set the tone for what follows, even as the movie moves from a nameless stabbing of a newly released inmate in 2008 to the huge skulking scruffy hairstyles, movie-songs and garish posters that adorn every wall of Subramaniyapuram, a small township nearabouts Madurai in the 1980s. This tale of greed, valour, loyalty, heartbreak and betrayal hits home most of the time.
You start out with very little expectations of what Subramaniyapuram, the Tamil movie produced by Company Productions and directed by newcomer M Sasikumar, ought to be even if the promos and posters have made you a bit eager with it's stars in typically eighties get-up.Īnd as every scene, right from the titles passes you by, you wait for some slip up but there's none! How do you describe a movie that doesn't quite fit into any criteria of popular movie genre, yet manages to fulfill almost every condition of what a good movie should be?
