Kaari movie review

Story:

Sasikumar is a jockey who works in a horse stable in Chennai. His father Aadukalam Narain is a socially responsible man and never hesitates to question the wrong doers.

Meanwhile, there is a rivalry going on between two villages near Ramanathapuram.

They decide to sort out the issue throught Jallikattu. And the village that emerges as the winner will have control over the temple which is common to both the places.

Sasikumar’s life takes a turn when when Narain dies of heart attack after his pet horse is shot dead. The audience are all introduced to corporate kingpin JD Chakravarthy.

How all of these characters are connected and what happens next forms the rest of the story.

Analysis:

Director Hemanth has handled a rural story without losing the nativity. Hemanth’s writing is very effective and he has also touched up on topics that are not very common.

The Jallikattu sequences that appear in the pre climax portions are realistic and interesting as well.

Kaari is a story tailor made for Sasikumar and after a long time he has got a good opportunity to showcase his acting prowess. Sasikumar has has used it perfectly and has delivered an emotional performance.

Parvathy Arun has done a good job in this story where the heroine is also given equal importance.

Balaji Sakthivel as her father has lived in that role. The songs and background score in Imman’s music are a huge support for the film. Camera work and editing adds extra strength to the film.

Rating: 3.5/5
