Pasanga Review !


Positives:
  • A refreshing tale that revolves around a group of village kids and their families. The movie progresses at a natural pace , but never bores us even for a moment, as we get drawn into their world.
  • Excellent casting. All of them deliver such natural performances , the kids and the adults.
  • Kids who remain kids till the very end. They dont talk or act beyond their age .
  • A happy movie :) A movie i can compare it to is Veyil which had awesome performances and which also gave us an authentic taste of village life.But Veyil had gory scenes with a lot of bloodshed, and made you feel sad many a times. But this movie will have you smiling and laughing throughout .
  • Some good messages are nicely interwoven into the story , without being preached to the viewers .

Negatives:

  • If it had to something, it would be the cinematic last 15 mins. But it is quite forgivable.

Watch out for :

The 'Saroja' girl as the charming Sobikannu, the melodious and cutely picturised 'oru vetkam varuthey' and the antics of Jeeva's sidekicks :)

Verdict :
Wow ! Tamil Cinema seems to be improving by leaps and bounds ! Plaudits to the first time director Pandiraj. This movie proves that you can make a good film on a shoestring budget without any commercial elements , and yet make everyone have a good time. Decent movies like these with strong Tamil flavour ought be encouraged.Pass the word about this delightful , feel good movie ! And catch it only in theaters ! :)
