Kazhuvethi was one of the ancient punishment method that was practiced in Tamil Nadu. Although this story has nothing to do with it, it is only used to justify the social message this film speaks about.
This story was about two friends irrespective of their caste have a strong brotherhood with eachother, this relationship breaks-up at a situation where a major misunderstanding arises.
Easily predictable screenplay make this film boring. The characters in writing was the only element which helps the film at many places from becomes boring.
Each and every characters in this film was built well and none of them created unnecessary. Characters namely higher official police, Hero's father, uncle and girl friend, etc..
Were like 'stays in heart' characters. The another reason for this was, the perfect casting choices for that respective character and the performances of the artists. Apart from the acting of Arulnithi and Dushara vijayan, I liked the acting of yaar kannan, Sharath Lohitashwa and Saya devi. Really stunned by their performances.
Also the dialogues were preety good.
Cinematography and music were the main pillars of this films that carries the film throughout end and also gives us a reason to sit back from our seats. D. Imman by this film proved once again that he is best at his zone which is village based theme films. The surprising factor is his horrific bgm, which comes whenever the visuals of Kazhuvethi appears in screen.
One of the best shots that attracted me was the way the cinematographer visualized the heroine's eyes. In that scene, the heroine not only challenging hero to see her eye to eye for a minute, also she challenge us. There were so many visual treats like this in this film especially when the visuals of Kazhuvethi hits us.
This film would have been better if the director gives some equal importance to the story as he gave to the content. Without a proper engaging screenplay any best content would fail to shine.
