And for that the movie is definitely worth a watch.Subramaniapuram was a sleeper hit in 2009 and established M Sasikumar’s credentials in recreating the magic of Madurai in the 80s. They are used like pawns in the game played by more adept minds who willingly indulge in criminal and amoral acts to further their petty objectives. This is not detract from the strength of the screenplay and narrative – the director is only holding us a mirror by showing us how ordinary youth who missed out on the benefits of proper education can go astray and compound their small mistakes to end up being caught in vortex of violence that they just cannot escape. It is a ‘Zero-Sum’ game and the viciousness makes everyone lose everything.One instead remembers Gandhi’s quote, ‘An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind.’ It just numbs your senses and sensibilities – at the end one cannot even quite remember the count of killings that happen at the drop of a hat. He also gets the characterization right and the viewers get engrossed in the possibilities of the ‘Azhagar-Tulasi’ love story.Īdding to the authenticity is the Madurai slang that has been used effectively by the characters and the director uses the local rituals and songs to add more flavour to the movie.īut what follows is a mindless sequence of gore and murder – once it starts it gets repeated endlessly every 10 minutes for brazen reasons of revenge, opportunism, betrayal and renewed revenge.

The director scores the right note in depicting the Madurai of the 80s and that creates a great interest in the story. The initial hour is filled with antics of the group – some are mildly entertaining as well. Subramaniapuram is a 2008 Indian Tamil-language crime drama film produced, written, and directed by Sasikumar.The low-budget film received critical acclaim for its original script, expert direction, screenplay, editing, fresh music, accurate sets and costumes to resurrect Madurai from the 1980s. But it is the youngest brother, Kanagu (played by Samuthirakani) who is the main antagonist and who schemes a murder to help his brother secure a political post and sets the wheels into motion for the ultimate sequence of revenge and betrayal. Also Azhagar falls in love with the college-going Tulasi who is the daughter of middle brother (ex-councillor) Somu. This forms a bond between the two groups. Half the time they land up in the police station and are often rescued by a set of three brothers who are into village politics.
