Like a poetic take on a serious issue demanding public attention, director Harish has decided to use the audio-visual medium, to give life to his thoughts and ideas. Not going by a set pattern or a tried and tested grammar to tell a story, the film is more a capture of certain events than a set of capable actors stopping to act after the director says 'cut'. Be it the casting or the dialogues, through every possible detailing, the film is at its intriguing best. Neither the cinematic liberty nor the visual language overtakes the hypothesis of the subject.
It is just a 38 minute short film but the impact the. Pen Paadhi Aadai Paadhi does not have the angles and the highly elevating music that you see in most films. When the story itself gets to be exciting, why bring in factors to accentuate it? No unwanted melodrama or no tantalizing of the facts and fiction. The film has nothing for you to like it, so you get to love it for what it is i.e. There is not an instance where something is particularly added for you to notice it. Directors Harish Usha Sampath and Vignesh Jothi Narayanan have neatly handled the principles of filmmaking after thorough research on how the characters need to be introduced, established and utilized.
