PARUTHIVEERAN LAST SCENE MOVIE

An unbelievable debut performace from Karthi(younger brother of Surya) and an equally awe worthy peformance from Priya Mani. The real shocker comes from the acting department. The way Muthazhagu is beaten by her father, to the way her family runs around after she poisons herself, nearly every scene carries a raw authenticity.

PARUTHIVEERAN LAST SCENE MOVIE

In fact, people in the movie do not deliver dialogues. There is no rhythm in the dialogue delivery.

Occasionally, it doesn't sound like Tamil. The dialogues have the dialect of a particular caste of rural people living in a certain region of Tamil Nadu. And then in the climax, Karthi's underpant is ripped. Karthi cuts off a body part(ear lobe) of a local policeman. In another, Priya Mani is shown vomitting on the screen.

On one scene, the pig woman is slaughtered - first a gunny bag is forced on her face then her her legs, hands and head are cut. The violence is not meant to shock you the way some RGV films intend to do. *Shot in the natural shades and sunlights of a dry village, the film though realistic is very, very violent. Only a note from the director is displayed. In the end, no rhetoric declarations of Good and Evil are made. May be thats why he is named Paruthiveeran which translates Cotton Hero in English. The way he is beaten is violent and raw, including ripping of his underclothes! No mainstream hero would have been killed that way. But of the kind that would make you flinch. Not those sympathy seeking slow-motion beatings. The movie ends as Paruthiveeran is being beaten to death by Muthazhagu's angry relatives. So, in a verge of madness, he butchers her body. To retain her dignity after death and to stop scandalous story being circulated through the villafe, the signs of the rape have to be removed. Slowly, she reaches a painful and undignified end. When the hero is back, after he sees Muthazhagu's plight, he isn't suddenly filled with vengefulness.

Desparate pleas and dying moans are heard. In the disturbing climax, there are about five, rough looking, underdressed low life trucker shown walking in and out of the room where the already grievously injured heroine is unceremoniously dumped. A seemingly insignificant scene in the beginning of the movie, shows an isolated hut house with a room where Paruthiveeran and his cronies occasionally share Prostitues. Who would have expected that the hero's subservient cronies would mistake the heroine for a prostiute and rape her? Only because, she is found in a room which has been used in the past for their recreational purposes. What separtes them is a casually comitted old sin which retorts back at an unexpected time. But its not Muthazhagu's father or not the caste ridden soceity that finally breaks their affair. Towards to the second half he begins to sober. A girl for whose unrequited love, slowly changes him. The first half moves in a slow pace, with scenes establishing the history and doings of Paruthiveeran and Sevvalai.Д®ven this ill bred road side hooligan has a lover in a rebellious young girl called Muthazhagu. He is an orpan brought up by Sevvalai who is crony in all his crimes. Living in a meaningless life, Parthiveeran often claims that his only ambition in life is to commit a bigger crime and see Central Jail(located at Vellore) at least once in his lifetime. He attacks for the sheer love of violence. In fact, he is not the hero but a protagonist. And he does things that no hero would have ever tried to do on screen. Here is a protagonist who wears his lungi strictly above his underpants. An unlikely tale of an unlikely hero called Paruthiveeran. *The story is set somewhere in the dry, rustic landscapes of Paruthiyur(cotton town). Its strange and ironical that Paruthiveeran is fairing well in the box office, when so-called saleable films dipped till soggy wet in to a thick syrup of sticky cliches, plastic melodrama and extra extravaganza are also doing well.
