Thanga meengal

Thangameengal - A very simple story of beautiful love between hapless father and a helpless girl. If you have loved  "Katrathu tamil" fully or even the non-gory part of that movie, then this movie is sure to amuse you. 


As you keep watching the movie, you realise that the director has built many stories within a story. As the movie starts rolling, the tamil cinema masala fan in you searches for a bad guy. First, i thought, hero's father should be a bad guy, then the husband of hevita miss as bad guy. However, the director through his characters explains beautifully how everybody cannot be either  good guy or a bad guy but a mix of both.  All the characters commit some mistakes at some point of time and almost all the time, realise their mistakes through the kid.

The movie talks about the mental pressure the kids face at school and home, father-son relationships,husband-wife relationships and tries to explore the kids world.The most important thing is that at no point of time, the movie turns preachy, doling out advices on all the above mentioned topics.
The director has put a few dialogues here and there which are sure to make an impact on you.

Just a few minutes into the movie, you get accustomed to the lake, the people ,the house ,Chellamma kid and not-to-mention, the poori kid.

On the flip side, the movie is not a classic movie nor a casual movie.The director makes excessive dramatization of a normal story but, the movie is a must watch for all students,daughters,sons and parents.
