Care at its core
Peranbum Perumkobamum
– Review
Vijith Bachchan, a male head nurse at a government hospital in Theni district, is arrested and interrogated in a child abduction case.
He confesses to the crime and reveals many shocking details to the police.
Subsequently, the police, who produce him before a judge and put him in jail, interrogate him, and it is revealed that Vijith did everything deliberately to get him to go to jail.
Why did Vijith go to jail for committing a crime he did not commit? What is the secret he told the police forms the core plot of the movie.
Written and directed by Sivaprakash, the screenplay is a heart-wrenching journey through the incidents of caste atrocities that took place in various periods.
Director Sivaprakash has emphatically stated that caste inequality and casteism are not caused by a person’s birth, but only by their upbringing.
Vijith Bachchan, who plays the lead role, perfectly fits into three different looks – college student, young man, and old man – and delivers the appropriate performance with elegance.
He does justice to the character by acting in moderation without overacting at any point.
Debutant actress Shali Nivekas, who plays the female lead, attracts attention with her ability to convey multiple expressions with her eyes.
Mime Gopi and Aruldoss, who play the villains, have delivered their usual performances in familiar roles.
Rest of the cast including Geetha Kailasam, Deepa, Sai Vinoth have all done their part well.
All the songs are composed by Ilayaraja and are melodious. The background music conveys the brutality of the scenes.
Cinematographer J.P. Dineshkumar’s camerawork not only makes the scenes beautiful, but also reveals the characters’ emotions and the hatred that lies within them on screen. Rest of the technical aspects of the movie are adequate.
Rating: 3.75/5
