Without making any commercial compromise, Vetrimaran has
showcased a powerful movie less than two hours. Every single scene, dialogue,
shot and frame serves a purpose of narrating the story.
The movie is based on “Lock-up” a novel written by an auto
driver, Chandra Kumar. The film deals with police brutality and how innocents
are made victims in the face of injustice and corruption. The real talent of
writing dialogues must be appreciated because it helps us to visualize story
behind the characters that appear on screen momentarily. Pressure faced by
policemen from higher authorities and how innocents are forced to accept uncommitted
crimes by the policemen are shown in a stark manner. The dialogues are natural
and sharp.
Casting and characterization choices are
exceptionally
identifiable and so true to life. Attakathi Dinesh and his friends have enacted
their respective roles very well. Attakathi Dinesh’s usual mannerisms suit him
well in this movie. Samuthirakani should be credited for shouldering the movie
in the second half with his terrific screen presence and natural dialogue
delivery.
The technical brilliance gives the experience of witnessing
all these events unfold in real life. The movie has a uniform tone and
unobtrusive style from start to finish. Ramalingam’s lighting is very natural
and makes one wonder whether there were any artificial lights used during the
making. T.E. Kishore deserves standing ovation for managing the transition
between shots seamlessly blending well with the screenplay. GV Prakash’s music
maintains the right mood for the movie throughout. The set properties and art
direction for both Andhra & Tamil Nadu prisons are diligently done.
It is evident that Vetrimaran has etched each and every
character with painstaking details and brought them all to life on screen. It
is difficult to point any flaws in this remarkable movie.
Visaranai is a must watch movie for all fans of good cinema.
Visaranai is an engaging unadulterated cinema at its purest form, executed with
a shoe-string budget.
