Thalaimuraigal - Culture and Values. A Salute to Balu Mahendra sir

Thalaimuraigal




A grandfather touch in the movie. A grandfather who is so conserve and very orthadox. Changes or adjust his emotions by his grandson touch. The film say that one should not forget about the culture though he is born in a inter cast family.

The grandson teaches English and Reversal Grandfather(Balu Mahendra) teaches him Tamil its importance and our culture. Even the small the thing would tell a story in Balu Mahendra's movie being his last directorial touch the camera and Cinematography has been handled perfectly. 

Now a days in this modern world children are missing the grandparents touch, as most of them are tuned to city and abroad life. Each children of our generations should know the importance of our rituals and mother tongue. 


Really the bond between grandfather and grandson is touching our hearts. Such movies should be recognized and should be screened in our film festival. 

As Balu mahendra sir says what ever the trend changes a masterpiece works will speak through out his life.

We say Village but this film show what village can teach you and what you give them back will be returned to you with love and emotions.


KAADU -  Save Tress Save Forest.



I do no why such movies are not taken to Cannes Film Festival. The story revolve around forest and its importance. Vidarth who is a illiterate want to save his forest and give to his generations. This fire tends him more to abolish corrupt forest officers who just want to use the forest for illegal purposes. Thambi ramaya and Singampulli have done there roles perfectly when it come to Comedy. 

The Movie throw a sensible touch when Vidarth meet Samuthrakani in jail after he is being innocently arrested for his friend mistake who want to be a forest officer illegaly smuggling sandal wood trees to pay higher officials to get forest officer job.  Samuthrakani as a revolutionist and writer helps vidarth saying that each tree in forest is your Grandfather, Grandmother and you have rights to save them. Dont be calm if any one want to destroy your generations. 

Film ends with by killing Vidarth's Friend accidentally. The hero says that please give the forest to us who have been cultivating for generations. We don't wanna go or leave this forest and we want to give this forest to our coming generations. He also put a point that never disturb the Nature as it will disturb you. 

As usual heroine Samskruthy Shenoy has done a decent role in the movie.  There is no where a vulgarity is shown in the movie. As a heroine she has done her role patiently as a school going a girl and for need to meet her daily expenses she does the role of distributing newspaper to the near by neighbours.


Director Nehru Nagar Nandhu has taken a good concept and warned people that cutting trees is illegal .  Conserve forest and save them to keep our nation healthy.
