Neerparavai, 2012, Seenu Ramaswamy
A most beautifully crafted soulful classic.
When the addict is 'de-addicted', the fisherman's father joy knows no bounds, and as a token of gratitude get's hold of the biggest fish possible and gifts it to the doctor who cured his son.
These are moments where only arts can reach rarefied heights and liberate the soul from petty boundaries.
I thought there were strokes of genius. I personally thought, even when the hero temporarily moves out of the fishing hamlet, the director ensured that the story shifted to "Uppalams" (Salt Pan??), thereby ensured that we breathed the whiff of "saltish air" as we watched the movie. This ensured that we were transported to the very place of action, enhanced the entire experience.
Jeyamohan was in great form.
N. Raghunathan's music was very good. Not sure about his address, these days.
Alagam Perumal, as the Father(priest), is another unforgettable performance
Will always be one of the special movies made in Tamil Cinema.
