What else than a flick close to real life could Sasikumar, a student of Bala and Ameer schools could deliver? Yes, Subramaniapuram is an interesting drama with no artificial characters and scenes, set in the backdrop of Madurai.
Azhagar (Jai), Paramar (director Sasikumar), Kasi (Ganja Karuppu) and a physically challenged boy living in Subramaniapuram area, a suburb of Madurai are good friends. With the support of former councillor Somu’s brother (Samudrakani), they do the odd jobs.
Circumstances make Azhagar fall in love with Somu’s daughter Thulasi (Swathy). This creates a fissure in the gang. Meanwhile the councillor’s brother uses them to murder a party rival, and fails to bail them out when they are caught by the police. This makes Azhagar & Co to take revenge. Are they succeeded is the climax.
At a time when everyone was in an idea that Subramaniapuram would be a romantic film, director Sasikumar springs surprise by taking a deviation. Slick execution, innovative camera movements and music by James Vasanthan work hard to give that feel of the 80’s.
The actors mostly freshers pass the muster. Swathy, an import from Tollywood is refreshing.
However the film moves at a snail's pace. Another draw back is that it is too bloody and gory. Apart from these two factors, Sasikumar should be appreciated for coming out with a bold and daring attempt.
