Naan Kadavul - Aham Brahmasmi

At last I too watched this movie. This not a movie review, but my thoughts that rose after watching this movie.
Normally we people doesn’t like to watch the darker part of the life in the movies. Naan Kadavul deals with such a subject. This movie deals with the life of beggars. Bala did an excellent job in portraying their lives. Dialogue of this movie is penned by Jayamohan. Some of the dialogues are very sharp which can raise several questions inside our mind. Music by Illyaraja, and Lyrics by Vaali. I haven’t heard the songs from this movie before. In theater, even during songs, the visualization is so effective such that I couldn’t remember the lyrics or tune.

No hero in Tamil cinema has got/will get such a wonder full introduction. I never expected such an introduction for Arrya. For Arrya and Pooja this is a Lifetime movie.
Arraya as Rudhran: I can see the amount of hard work that Arraya has put for this character. I feel the voice of Rudhran is not so effective. When he chants the Sanskrit versus or while talking in the court if the voice is not so effective. Pooja has done an excellent job. Her voice, action everything is superb.
In all the Bala’s previous movies, the hero characters are somehow similar. Even in this movie Rudhrans character is similar. He has too much power; he doesn’t bother about the law. These are the common characters of Bala’s hero. Even Rudhran falls in to the same category. The other common thing with the other bala’s movie is climax. In all his previous movies there is no happy ending. Even this movie doesn’t have happy end. When I left the theater, my heart was paining. Only very few movies in the past made to feel like that before.
Tamil cinema has got a new villain. Thandavan. I don’t remember this guys real name. He did an excellent job.
Overall, the movie is good. But the violence is too high.
