Review - Poo
Star-casts: Srikanth, Parvathi Menon and others
Banner: Moser Baer, Nesagee Cinemas
Screenplay, Dialogues and Direction: Sasi
Music: S.S. Kumaran
Cinematography: P.G. Muthiah
Looks like Director is vividly influenced by Avant-garde filmmakers like Krzysztof Keislowski deeply from his trilogy Red, White and Blue. Yup! He has centered deeply on the intrinsic feelings of a woman and it has been depicted with finesse. Director Sasi rigidly believes in the concept of ‘Content is King’ and has no ideas about roping in superstars for his flicks. Be it his debut directorial Sollamale or his Dishyum, they were simply good though presented in commercial mode.
Poo is about a village girl and her deep affection for his childhood friend as well cousin. Her love and sacrifices and many people related to her. It’s a great attempt by Sasi with a heroine oriented film that has no prominence for a male lead. But, we’ve a small doubt whether Moser Baer is interested in producing films for making profits at box office or winning awards globally. Be it’s first venture Vellithirai followed by Raman Thediya Seedhai or this one, they have been winning critical acclaims but not favorable in box offices.
The film opens with Mari (Parvathi), a village girl waking up generally in the morning and she starts glimpsing about her back old memories of her childhood days and later times. Her unconditional love for her cousin Thangarasu (Srikanth) is trenchantly revealed. Even Thangarasu has a great likeliness for her. Thangarasu is a highly ambitious personality getting ahead to achieve something big in life. Graduated in Mechanical Engineering, he still has great likeableness for his girl. But everything gets deteriorated leading to perplexed scenarios. Will their broken hearts get reunited again forms crux of the story with a spellbinding climax.
As mentioned earlier, it’s Parvathi who rules the entire show with her spellbinding performance. We’re sure this time; it’s not gonna be Trisha or Nayanthara winning awards for this year since Parvathi is the missy. Be it sorrow or happiest ambience, she emotes with a perfect style and each of her gestures reveal of her great ground works. However, Srikanth appearing with his minimal role doesn’t suit for the village based character. He is peppy with city guy kind of role and Sasi should’ve opted for someone else. The old man characterized as Penakaran, Srikanth’s father and his excellent performance on getting drenched across waterside is realistic. Another performed to be praised is the one who plays the close friend of Parvathi and the lady who dons the role of mother are excellent. The characterizations are perfect and Sasi has done it with prudence.
Musical score by S.S. Kumaran is good with few numbers especially ‘Choo Choo Maari’ and background score enhances emotional vistas. Cinematography by P.G. Muthiah is another noteworthy and adds more color to the film.
Hats off to Tamizhselvan for penning good short story and a commendable adaption of crafting screenplay adds one more feather to his cap.
On the whole, the film would be somewhat liked by a very few audiences and probably it has no chances of sustaining in box offices for a long time. Better the team members can expect great awards on various categories…
Bottom - Line: Only for film analysts
Verdict: Love watching it…
