I saw the movie, yesterday. I dont know why everyone praises this movie. Agreed the performance and rustic background all look great. In fact, Karthi doesn't look like a newcomer at all. But the story is nothing new. Like many other movies before, this too protrays the villagers in a -ve way that they are a bunch of mindless violent people ready to take sickle anytime. As it is, there is communal and community violence in south TN. Instead of saying anything against those behaviours, this film encourages in the name of realism.
