– Review

Poo Ram lives with his wife Pandiyammal and grandson Master Deepan in a village near Madurai.
With just a few days left for Deepavali, Deepan asks Poo Ram to buy him a dress which is worth Rs 2,000.
Poo Ram also agrees and promises to get the dress for his grandson. However, he is not able to get the money, so he decides to sell his pet goat. But no one is coming forward to buy the goat.
Parallelly, Kaali Venkat works as a butcher. But after a fight with his boss, he decides to set up his own shop before Deepavali.
But no one is willing to approach Kaali. Finally Poo Ram and Kali Venkat come to an agreement and Kaali agrees to buy Poo Ram’s goat. But all of a sudden, the goat goes missing. What happens next forms the rest of the story.
Director R Venkat has brought the life of a common person in a lively manner. Deepavali is a festival which is celebrated by everyone and the director has based his story surrounding this festival which is really appreciable.
Poo Ram always shines in his character, and this movie is no exception. He has done extraordinary work and brings his role to life. Pandiyammal as his wife has done her job in a commendable manner.
Master Deepan is impressive and gives the much needed impetus to his character.
Kaali Venkat has breathed soul into his role. He has portrayed the life of a common man in an effective manner.
Music by Theesan is heart touching and gels well with the theme of the movie. Jayaprakash’s camerawork is very realistic.
Rating: 4.5/5
