Film making is so competitive in tamil industry right now. Every director is trying to prove a style. Once the directors gain some reputation and get tagged into a style, they always have the passion to do some one off's, to not get thoroughly branded. It has always been followed by many reputed directors. For example, K.Balachander's movies like Thappu thaalangal, Manmadha leelai etc.,(well K.B gets more that he has already directed 100 movies, which is not a JOKE). Bharathiraja's Sigappu rojaakal. Shankar's BoYS and so on..Gautham has come early in his career to explore this kind of passion in film making.It has been said that the techinicians from South India is considered to be the best amongst the overall Indian movie making industry, which i'm proud about. Every film, though with similar subject is different mostly because of the movie making style. I like Balumahendra's movies for his immense originality in camera work and story. The making of "Pachai kili muthucharam" is similar to Balumahendra's style and Gautham in one of his interview has already mentioned that it was done with the same style in mind.
Tamil film has always been rejected for anything new shown on the screens, but i think "pachaik kili " is a very good attempt from the whole crew of Gautham Menon. Every one invovled in the movie seem to have worked towards making it very subtle and natural. With so many masala stories being made, this one i felt was different just because of its casual flow. The only drawback i would say is lots of close up shots were used. May be the reason was to show the emotions at its pin point but it certainly has been over used. Other than that, i would give a lot of credit to Sarath kumar's performance. He has performed to his best and has ofcourse proved to be the right cast. Jyothika was not so very convinving except for the fact that she has tried to do something different in her career. Gautham has tried to show her with that round nose ring looks, but it didnt really go well on Jyothika :-). The whole movie is driving towards that twist, where the audience come to know that Jyothika is playing the negative role. Without having a knowledge about this movie, it would have certainly created some good moments of twist.
Though the story line is based on extramarital affairs, there is no bad visuals shown. Overall, it is certainly a movie that can be watched. It is a story that is happening around many families and it is just a warning for people getting into such affairs. The ultimate theme is " "EXTRAMARITAL AFFAIRS CAN DESTROY ONE's LIFE".
