Pallikoodam

Naren, Sneha, Thangar Bachchan, Shreya Reddy, Seeman

Seeman plays Muthu straight and simple, unlike Narein's Vetrivel, whose actions and frequent emotional outbursts in public not quite going with the dignity of the character. Bachan fits in well as Kumarasamy, a country bumpkin, bringing out the character's naivete and simplicity. Read More

Acting-wise, Thankar Bachan steals the show by his impeccable portrayal of Kumarasamy, the labourer. The collector portrayed by Naren is ordinary while Seeman as the director's role, is refreshing. Sneha as Kokila has nothing much to offer. Read More

Sneha looks good and does her role with consummate ease. Bharadwaj's music is a pale shadow of his earlier Autograph melodies, with Meendum Palliku Pogalam…. the only hummable number. Gana Ulganathan's MGR act in a rickshaw singing Rosemary…Nee oru… is a torture! Read More

Pallikoodam is a good effort by cinematographer-turned director Thangar Bachan who has taken up a social cause and made a gripping story of it with the right mix of romance, emotion and nostalgia. Read More

Jhansi (Shreya Reddy) runs a medical dispensary in the village and becomes friendly with the group of friends. All the four boys had a crush on her, but she was evicted from for encouraging the romance between Vetrivel and Kokila. Read More

Overall the movie is well made and will be lapped up by the urban audience. If you thought Azhagi was a fantastic effort, chances are that you would have the same feeling with Tahnkar Bachaan's new effort as well. Read More
