Purampokku Engira Podhuvudamai [2015 : Tamil : Drama (Prison, Action) : 2h45m ]
Written & directed by S. P. Jananathan
Does a fair trial necessarily amount to a fair outcome ?
An intense drama on reality about 3 men having a meeting over the table of Death. Rarely a film picks up such characters and explores it. Jananathan has convincingly narrated us his tale of justice, order & realisations. The technical aspects of the film is top notch, esp. the train sequence. Rest is pure drama, depicting the agony of individuals, various individuals. The film does not grow preachy, but it has its moments over political streams, which I will not be speaking about as it does not interest me. Just the story - the touch so sacred but quite poisonous.
The Imperator
Festina lente (Hasten slowly).
- Augustus
Mecaulay is an officier who is deadly as he is a contridiction with his self and profession. Professionaly he is a courtesan of justice and delivers what is demanded, at the same time he shows courtesy to the prisoners, infact he rates his work place as an intellectual den. This operation marks him dutiful, where he prepares himself to see through it until its end. He plans, alters plans and finally plans a plan. He is cunning, he has got the power, and he goes by the rule. Not that he walks by your side that he is a friend, but he is certainly not your enemy.
Mecaulay gets the orders to carryout the execution of a convict under his command, no excuses accepted. He secures the place holding the convict, finds the executioner, prepares the execution and waits prudently for the D-Day.
The Anarchist
Our masters have not heard the people's voice for generations and it is much, much louder than they care to remember.
- Alan Moore (V for Vendetta)
And you spot Guy Fawkes mask beside the gang hacking the prison security system. The prison holds Bala, a furious commander of the people running a parallel government. He seems to be wondering "If the supreme court has ordered to distibute the unused grains to the poor and if I execute it, a special court declares me guilty". There, he gives a real picture of his intentions. Bala is convicted for treason and held in this jail for the next 27 days before he will be hanged to death.
Bala is fearless and fierceful. He wishes to be a martyr (It is the cause, not the death, that makes the martyr), but at the same time if opputunity allingns with his life-line, he will escape to extend his service to the common man.
The Hangman
Every guilty person is his own Hangman.
- Lucius Annaeus Seneca
The protocol dictates certain criterias to appoint the man who could execute the capital punishment. The Hangman has knowledge to this process which inturn abides the measures under which the convict is to be hanged which are set by the court of law. Yamalingam (the writer tries to say something here, catch it), is a sucessor to The Hangman legion, his father been an official exectioner. We could hear his mother saying that she had no clue about the profession of his father, another reference taken from Jerry Givens - "For many years, even his own family did not know the truth about his job."
Yamalingam suffers from 'post-traumatic-whatever', after he had witnessed/carried out an execution. He is an alcoholic and just refuses to carry out the job. There are very few films that talk about the state of The Hangman. Another wonderful (Art-House) film (you can watch it if you are interested) is 'The Hangman' starring Om Puri.
The Execution
The fear o' hell's a hangman's whip to haud the wretch in order;
But where ye feel your honor grip, let that aye be your border.
- Robert Burns
The stage is set. Three men, unknown to each other are spun together now. The dice of life have stoped rolling. The numbers will deceide their actions. Tricked, Yamalingam waits to pull the lever, knowing well that the convict will not meet death by his hands. Setter, Mecaulay waits to see the dominos fall. Convicted, Bala awaits redemption. Caught between them is Kuyil, an assosiate of Bala, who master-plans and organises the escape of Bala.
Tik toc tik toc.

watched ok kanmani last night.
wife and kids felt bored and walked out within 30 minutes. Depsite prakash raj's excellent acting and ARR's awesome music, I was struggling to sit and watch the full movie.
I could easily name at least a dozen movies released in the last 12 months that were much better than this movie. highly over rated.
as far the heroine, well... she is short, fat, has a beer tummy and has caterpillar eyebrows.... she could give tulsi nair a stiff competition for the ugliest heroine in the industry.

Demonte Colony - Arulnithi's interesting choices continue. Run time of less than 2 hours and pretty engaging. No commercial compulsions. No heroine infact!!! The film did not scare me much. Technically well made and crisp film.

Not bad as expected but plenty of loop holes throughout. Its kinda funny to see the hero being able to predict future as if he has an on/off switch to the ESP.
I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.

But still, there are lot of more aspects one can praise about that movie. That's the point.
