Kakka Muttai ( 2015 )
A pure hallmark graded film with simplicity being the core content. Its been a while i seen such realistic movie from our industry and i must say it surpassed all odds placing itself in spots among best films of the decade. Who would knew that two young kids would outcast every actor in the industry with a mind-blowing acting in this film. Unlike the predecessors , i am glad this movie got so much credits which it deserved and seeing a houseful theater for such movies is so soothing to watch.
Plot looks simple and no unnecessary treatments were given to the script but the real win is capturing the beauty of slums so realistically in silver screen and showing their everyday life , their small wishes n desires , their happiness even at nothing , those were moments which gives deep thoughts to our-self. While people have so much in their life yet they desire to get more n more with no satisfaction at anything with never ending thirst to get more , but seeing those kids on the screen and how much they struggle to even fulfill their smallest desires were heart wrenching. Lucky such good films released during the time were news travels much faster in Facebook n whats-app compared to the old days were media n daily were the only go..which those days were roadblock for many such good films.
BGM was also very good in this film and having said that , depth to characterization was given more importance in this movie. Every character was important and had equally important role to play which was a great plus for the movie. Adding to that is the short run time of the film which gives a simple and clean experience for the viewers. Even the song placements were not forced but rather blends along with the movie instead of BGM and flows through the script as one. But seeing those two guys spinning the screen upside down with their performance took me back to my own childhood memories and it was such a nostalgic feel not to be missed. Overall this is sure a big time winner not because of the production house it was made , but rather for having trust on characters and extracting pure essence from them making its a complete feel good package as a whole. This is one such movie not to be missed in theaters and can be easily enjoyed with entire family. Lets appreciate such films and let it be a stepping stone for inspiring many to make more such films in future. I loved it and i cherished every minute of it. Cheers.
