More Different strokes – "Pasanga"A refreshingly different movie that I happened to see last weekend – the movie was simply superb!!! My Score 75+ / 100.
Wonder why I am giving such a high score – would rate it better than "Mozhi" and the wider appeal (all ages), read on...
What's different ?
Absolutely everything…!! NO NO KNOWN faces – the film has been completed with kids mostly and what a fantastic Job they have done to emote or bring to screen the Directors expectations (Debutant Director – Pandiaraj). The few adults acting in the movie have done an equally fantastic job..
Some very interesting things in the movie:
* For children: would enjoy every moment of the comedy and would easily relate to their own school happenings. Also an Excellent
Learning on how to handle or face Bullies in school
* For teenagers / Bachelors (Boys and Girls): apart from the comedy, the subtle romance between the Man & Woman and the Interesting Interactions and the way they handle the final Union part was very good – NO adult part what so ever in these sections, so people of ALL ages can Watch these scenes.
* For Grown ups / Married people (Esp. people married for > 4-5 years): Amazing segments inter-wined in the movie on how to handle / work with your Spouse. The message is so good and so relatable – I am sure each of you will benefit from these scene…No harm in rubbing the tears that flow naturally from Your eyes, in these scenes. (I Did!!)
The way some of the scenes are coolly handled is so good – being a debutant Director Pandiaraj has brought so much freshness to various scenes.
Some scenes / highlights:
- The Way the 6th Std girl (actual heroine – wah, what acting) stops the fight between her friend and her cousin by using the school mike after her regular efforts, escalation process failed (!!)
- The Kids Car and Motorcycle – opening scene
- The father who gives up a habit on the request of the son – the way the entire scene is laid out..cool!!! very touching
- Potti (Competition) & its positive effect Vs Poramai (Jealousy)
- The class difference existing in schools (Matriculation / Govt schools)
- Some cool best practices for school – offices or home..!!
- Parenting advice that the school teacher gives to his neighbour (MY FAVOURITE!!!)
Ok, how How did the Director manage to fit so many good things – frankly this is just a sample, there are too many more good things to see n Enjoy!!
Oh – Forgot to mention about the Hero & Heroine – It is all the Pasanaga….what talent / acting the Director has worked with the Children…Amazing!!!
Bottomline:
Takes you back in time to your childhood.. must watch for all. Would encourage each of YOU to watch this movie – Never mind that you will gain something about this…you can thank me for that….
To me it is not only about "Pasanaga"(Children) - it is all about "Pasamanga" (Affection!!!)
