Connected to the roots

– Review

Bose Venkat, who comes from a farming family, wants his son Kathir to study well, become a government official and settle in the city.

As per his wish, Kathir studies well and becomes a government official, gets married and moves to Chennai.

Even though his son’s life turns out to be as per his wish, Bose Venkat, as a father, is unable to share in his son’s happiness.

The bonding between the father and the son is lost in the course of their journey. Kathir who is engrossed in his life almost forgets about his father and the village. What transpires between the father and son forms the core plot of the movie.

Director G. Krishnan has made a movie which is easily relatable to the people. Instead of getting preachy with the subject he has made it in an engaging way which will be enjoyed by a section of the audience.

Though there are a few flaws here and there they can be ignored as the movie delivers a strong content with a neat presentation.

Kathir shines as the dutiful son and the responsible family man. He has effectively portrayed the changes that his character undergoes. Kathir has carried the emotions of the role  in an appreciable manner.

Miya Sri as Kathir’s wife fits the role perfectly. The innocence in her character and the way she has handled it is impressive.

Bose Venkat as the father who is attached to his son has done a wonderful job. The scenes in which he misses his son and longs to be with him are all delivered in a top notch way. Sri Ranjani as Bose Venkat’s wife has also done a neat job.

Rest of the cast including Sangili Murugan, Ilavarasu, Sekar and Susan have all done their job well.

Music by Chanakya is impressive and is well complimented by the visuals of cinematographer Vijay Mohan. Rest of the technical aspects of the movie are good as well.

Rating: 4/5
