Poorkkalam Movie Review

A young class of filmmakers is rising in Tamil industry, enthusiastic on setting new technical principles. Bandi Saroj Kumar is one more adding up to the record of directors determined for technical brilliance.

His maiden undertaking 'Porkkalam' is a awesome sight to watch. The cinematography, stunts and sound engineering provide a fresh feel and more or less match the world standards.

But the black and grey shades with more slow motion shots find it hard to engross us. Also the director has concerted more on the technical aspects missing out on the content. He seems to have missed out on the story which hampers the flow of the film. Amazing script and needless stunts are eyesores.

At the same time, he deserves honor for choosing an apt star cast. His choice of artistes for lead roles is interesting and evokes interest. Be it Kishore or Sathyan, they stand up and deliver. Saroj Kumar has tried some experiments in the movie. The result one has to wait and watch.

The movie is all about Karna (Kishore), who spends his life with his cook-and-friend (Sathyan) in Chennai. Sneha (Smitha) copes to run from Andhra Pradesh where she is forced to marry local don Dronam Raju (Sampath)'s brother. She takes shelter in Karna's house in Chennai.

The do-gooder Karna's life takes a turn when Sneha falls in love with him. The concluding sends her back to Andhra. A twist in the tale occurs when it is informed that Karna is blind but has learnt to be like any other person. He is good at detecting sound and even practiced shooting well aiming a target.

Now Karna chooses to go to Sneha's release. He goes all the way to Andhra and fight all the goons of Dronam Raju which is all but gore and blood. Ultimately all is well that ends well.

Kishore is outstanding in the responsibility. His orderly physical type individual by means of strong as well as stubborn looks adds liveliness to his responsibility.
Having absence is Sathyan who manages to bring to mind amusement. Smitha has naught to a great extent to do and so are the bunches of hooligans of baddies together with Sampath, Tinu Anand as well as Lal.

Had the administrator resolute on the story and made it additional attractive, the film would have been a diverse one with the intention of would be accepted as well as love. But at the similar time, Saroj Kumar can be respected for annoying amazing honest as well as genuine on screen.
