A different attempt
Bloody Beggar
– Review
A nameless beggar (Kavin) is content with what he’s doing in his life. He’s not the melodramatic beggar who capitalises on his shortcomings. He’s sarcastic and knows how to guilt-trip people to earn their sympathy. He lives with a small boy named Jack, who sells books on the road to make ends meet.
One day, Kavin gets invited to a bungalow for a feast along with other beggars. Awestruck by the bungalow, he silently ventures into it and gets locked up inside. He gets caught by a few people living inside the bungalow, who entrust him with a task.
How Kavin deals with the untoward situation forms the core plot of the movie.
Director Sivabalan Muthukumar’s Bloody Beggar has a solid story at the core. It’s a dark comedy about a beggar who wishes to lead a good life. This is neatly explored in Bloody Beggar without being too preachy.
The film has an intriguing storyline replete with zany characters. Kavin makes the character enjoyable with his unique traits. Kavin has yet again proved that he is a beautiful performer.
With each film, he has improved his mettle, and it’s delightful to see him perform, especially during the emotional sequences. Redin Kingsley and the rest of the supporting cast fit into the character like a glove. Jen Martin’s music gels well with the theme of the movie. Rest of the technical aspects are okay as well.
Rating: 3.3/5
