The movie is widely shot through windows and holes in the walls. Every frame shouts pain, every colour tone shift only takes you more into the depth of the darkness of its lead characters.ĭOP Yamini Yagnamurthy is one of my favorites now and I will watch every film that has been shot through her lens. It is like recording a love crime scene and the camera just happens to be there. ( Photo Credit – Still from Saani Kaayidham ) Saani Kaayidham Movie Review: Direction, MusicĪrun’s direction never takes sides. K Selvaraghavan supports Suresh with his talent and is so organic in his work that it doesn’t look like an actor but a real person. Those few minutes are enough to prove the acting process she holds. The camera is kept still in mid-frame and she acts like it doesn’t exist around her. In a scene she sits outside her newly made hut describes how she will kill her predators. Almost in each frame of the film, Suresh becomes Ponni and at no point can you separate the two. This is the version of the prolific actor that I love and respect the most. Saani Kaayidham Movie Review: Star Performance And she does face consequences for her mistakes and has to live a lonely life. Maybe her way is wrong, but her intent to punish the rapists is not. The debate that she is wrong also might enter the arena, but when a person who never did any wrong is abused and not just abused but forced to live a life of shame decides to get peace by revenge, you have to be on their side. Once a loving mother whose only aim was to provide her family with a wholesome meal and a concrete house, now doesn’t even blink her eye when she pours acid on a criminal’s crotch, or runs over 10 men with her van.
He tells you a story of one such breathing corpse whose life has been sucked out and now she is just a killing machine who seeks vengeance. But Arun rises above that in his writing. The atrocities hammer the have nots of the system till the point that they become living corpses. The writing tells you the same story of men high on arrogance seeking their revenge from women who are related to the men that go against them. It is a concoction of all the evils trying to pull down a family that has never really tried to break their kingdom. Nothing in the world written by Arun Matheswaran is diluted.
In the next scene they tell him to bring his wife if he wants to apologise. In the first few minutes when a man is fired for trying to bring discipline to a mill run by the upper class of the village, he is told “There is no place for people with self-respect here”. It takes you to the rock bottom of hell and shows you how a woman has the capability of surviving even there. Saani Kaayidham is not for the faint-hearted. But if the woman playing that character is as prolific as Keerthy Suresh, the risk is worth every single second. When a filmmaker decides to write a character that is going through these same questions and chooses to take the maniac path, he risks everything. What is revenge? How do you seek vengeance? How do you grieve? Does killing your predator give you redemption? These aren’t just complex questions for a movie but any person in general.
