PICHAIKAARAN CAST & CREW
Production: Vijay Antony Film Corporation Cast: Satna Titus, Vijay Antony Direction: Sasi Screenplay: Sasi Story: Sasi Music: Vijay Antony Background score: Vijay Antony Cinematography: Prasanna Kumar Dialogues: Sasi Editing: Veera Senthil Raj Art direction: Anand Mani Stunt choreography: R Sakthi Saravanan Lyrics: Annamalai, Eknath, Logan, Priyan PRO: Suresh Chandra

First kiss is special! Nevertheless, it is pivotal that every kiss that succeeds it must better the previous one. Else, you are looking at instability enveloping the relationship. Every film represents a director's relationship with his audiences. And with every success the expectation grows.

Has director Sasi treated his audiences with the same intensity of anticipation that they have shown him? Read on...

Pichaikkaran is a tale overflowing with emotions. To what length will a loving son go to save his mother is the essence of this Sasi's story.

Vijay Antony as a millionaire and a beggar shows minimal differences through his performance. The awkwardness as a beggar that he depicts in the beginning is noteworthy, though. While all seems good with his performance in the beginning, it starts to get monotonous with his subtlety. Satna Titus adds drama to the tale and so does the rest of the supporting cast.

Pichaikkaran also has  truck load of bad guys and all of them lack solid purpose. The core reason as to why Vijay Antony becomes a beggar also looks frail. The romance is farfetched and the overall dealing is overdramatic.

 

Suiting the melodrama is Vijay Antony's songs and BGM. The lack of silences only achieves in showing the desperation of the makers to take the drama to the audiences. While the editing sits just apt, the cinematography also contributes to the director's indulgence in drama. The song that shows around the poor state of the beggars was more like trying too hard to emphasize on the struggles visually rather than plainly projecting the truth.

While it is very respectable of Sasi to put forth the real life episode of a noble man on the wide screen, the over-exaggerations end up over cooking the broth. The multiple distractions from the thread don't keep the audiences engaged too.

Overall, Pichaikkaran has an interesting storyline dealt with a bit too much drama to handle.

Verdict: Excessive exaggerations and lack of depth in the dealing make Pichaikkaran not an easy affair

PICHAIKAARAN SONGS REVIEW

Review by : Behindwoods Review Board Album Release Date : Jan 07,2016

Pichaikaaran is an upcoming action drama film starring Vijay Anthony in lead role. The film is written and directed by Sasi.

Nenjorathil
Singer: Supriya Joshi


The album begins with a breezy solo which slowly builds up in trance mode. The rough strokes of electric guitar are rightfully balanced with soft strings and quirky bass guitar. Supriya Joshi’s sweet voice is complemented with feel good interludes laced with harmonica. The overall composition has a flavor of Hindustani Raag Desh throughout.

Glamour Song
Singer: Velmurugan


A folk number topped with clarinet and contrasting Hip-Hop portions arrives next in style. Velmurugan’s sultry vocals are blended well with peppy lyrics leading to a peculiar experimentation. The breathless rendition is quite catchy and energy filled for an enjoyable fare.

Nooru Samigal
Singer: Vijay Anthony


An emotional number sung by the hero and composer Vijay Anthony himself with great vigor and passion. The chord progression is quite impressive with right strokes of bass work and in short this song carries the film’s theme quite well. The effective usage of bass guitar adds a new touch to this composition. The interludes are rightfully laced with emotive flute and solo humming.

Unakaga Varuven
Singer: Janaki Iyer


Trance genre gets new experimentation with another melancholic number sung well by Janaki Iyer. The slow beats with progressing symphony do the job perfectly. However, the chorus sounds out of place with an overdose of eeriness. The interludes are laden well with a sad violin solo coupled with trombone.

Oru Vella Sotrukkaga
Singer: Yasin


The melancholic mood continues with another sad number which dwells deep in philosophy and introspection. Yasin does a commendable job in bringing the emotion right for the situation. The interludes stay true to the theme speaking of helplessness in musical terms. However, the song lacks novelty or experimentation for a better listening experience.

Nenjorathil
Singer: Deepak Doddera


The most melodious song of the album arrives in the voice of Deepak Doddera thereby getting a new definition of classicism. The orchestration almost remains the same as the predecessor but the vocalist makes a whole new difference altogether.

Pichaikkaran Theme Music
Singer: Ananthu


An angry instrumental track which comprises of Gayathri Mantra chants is topped with modern orchestration and strange Arabic flavor as well.  The chord progression reaches a slow crescendo in a timely fashion.

Verdict: Overall a pretty decent album but it does have a couple of thumping numbers!
