Madura Veeran Review



Star Cast : Vijay Yesudas, Bharathiraja, Amritha
Director : Dhana

Debutant director Dhana has tried to convey a solid message on the caste-based issues that exists in the South Tamil Nadu through the eyes of an ex-army man and a newly recruited cop.

Munishwaran (Vijay Yesudas) is a vagabond, a village ruffian who lives for non-vegetarian food and alcohol. When Munishwaran takes an old woman to the police station, he comes to know that people have high respect for cops. Muneeswaran decides to make easy money by joining the police department as there is free booze, food and power as extra bonus!!

Munishwaran’s uncle, Krishnan (Bharathiraja), an ex-army man bribes the higher officials and get him the job. After his training, Munishwaran returns back to his village to know that a caste war breaks out with the neighboring village. He also comes to know that his own kith and kin has brutally killed an innocent girl for their caste pride. So he decides to teach them a lesson.

Vijay Yesudas is earnest in Padai Veeran, he has come a long way from his debut film Maari. His hard work and effort is unbelievable. Bharathiraja’s seasoned performance is another major attraction. Debutant heroine Amritha too shines with her cute raw village look and bubbly screen presence.

The first half  of Padai Veeran moves at a leisure pace with the needless detailing on the jobless gang of Vijay Yesudas and their friendship. The main plot of the film begins only in the second half with the honor killing and existence of caste pride in the villages of Tamil Nadu. The climax is definitely a shocker which is unpredictable and the message is also quite relevant and strong.

Being a former associate of Mani Ratnam, we can see his master’s influence in Dhana's shot division. On the downside, Dhana did not have anything new to say as caste wars in south Tamil Nadu has been told several times. It is only the presentation that stands out. Overall, Padai Veeran is an average rural drama with an emotionally moving climax and is a socially responsible message.
