Filmmaker Suresh Sangaiah, who was associated with National award winning filmmaker Manikandan of Kaaka Muttai fame, makes his debut directorial with this film Oru Kidayin Karunai Manu. Certain films make a huge mark on the International platforms even before the theatrical release in its own region. Such happens to be the illustration with this film that stars Viddarth and Raveena in lead roles.
The film has a pretty simple plot, where it revolves around a newly married couple (Viddarth and Raveena) along with their family members and relatives travelling to the other village for offering sheep as a sacrifice to God as their marriage were happily completed.
On the way across the forests, Raveena expresses her desire to see her husband drive the lorry. With 50 members on the heavy vehicle loaded, the lorry runs over a boy who by mistake crosses the path and passes away. Now a huge turmoil breaks in as there begins a confusion on what they should with the body of deceased person. Whether they have to inform police, bury it down somewhere in the forest or just leave it desolated?
Although the film’s basic theme is laced with serious elements, it has its very own hilarious touch, where director Suresh Sangaiah tries to impose his strong implication of reality, where human lives have no values when certain lawyers easily twist the case with unjust gesture. The director instantly gains our interest with this theme and good narration indeed. It is very hard to direct a film with more newcomers onboard and except Viddarth, Hello Kandasamy, Krishnamoorthy, Aarumugam and Jayaraj, almost everyone in the movie are fresh faces. Suresh has very well handled their portions bringing the best out of them. There are few constraints in the film that misses the logical essence. The way the people behave carelessly after death of a youngster and the way by which lawyer pulls into the loopholes doesn’t get it the right way.
What stands out as the highlighting trait of this film is that realistic story that doesn’t get cinematic anywhere.
The humorous quotients are enjoyable and every actor has done justice to the role. There isn’t much to speak about the flip side, but few illogical ones as mentioned above might turn out to be the slightest constraint.
Overall, Suresh Sangaiah tries to make a decent start by choosing a unique story and good treatment that makes Oru Kidayin Karunai Manu worth watchable.
