Kollywood film Piravom Santhipom - Review
2008-02-05 19:29:00
Karu Palaniappan has tried to follow a neo-realistic style within the Tamil film milieu in Piravom Santhipom. He succeeds to a large extent, though at times it looks like a Chettiyar wedding video album in the first half, and drags in the second half. Karu follows the Sooraj Barajatya format of a feel good family film where all characters are nice, friendly and likeable people. There are no villains, no skin, no disco, no Switzerland or Koothu songs, no fights, no crude comedy and other things that you associate with commercial films.The director has his heart in the right place and has come out with a clean film which is sure going to be lapped up by the family audiences. Visalakshi (Sneha) whom everybody lovingly calls Sala is the only daughter of her rich parents living in small town Karaikudi. She is a loving and friendly girl who loves the company of her friends.Her parents arrange her wedding with Natesan (Cheran) an Engineer with the state electricity board, coming from an ar...
