Mehandi Circus
I watched this beautiful Tamil film last
week, in Netflix, and I quite liked the movie.
Taking love in hand, Mehandi Circus did a soothing performance overall,
caring us back to the melodious era of 70s and 80s, when the filmdom was under Ilayaraja’s
regime; composer Sean Roldan using the maestro’s finest tunes recreated magic in
the background along with his own beautiful composition of songs. The director (newcomer
Saravanan Rajendran) has set up the tent/plot at a picturesque location that
parallelly protect the pretty love story what move us like a cool mountain
breeze along Ilayaraja’s rhyme notes.
Did I sound more musical and of course it
was and the hero of the film has a music store and he falls in love with a girl
from a circus troupe that visits his village. And what could we expect him to
do to convey his love other than playing melodious songs to please the woman
and what could do it at best other than Ilayaraja’s heartening songs? Set in time of
early 90s, the story travels back (to that period) in the colourful memories of
the hero (Jeeva) when he goes to meet his love (Mehandi), after many years of part
as the caste and other kind of challenges interfered their cute love and break
paths apart.
The debutants to Tamil, Madhampatty Rangaraj
and Shweta Tripathi carried their lead rolls very decently and as Mehandi, Shweta
Tripathi exhibits charming acting what anyone would like watching. And the
location of the shoot is dramatically colourful and charming at its own, as it
shot in one of my favourite places on earth – Kodaikanal, aka Princess of
Hills, was captured in an ever so beautiful and colourful angles and views to
feel close to heart. Thanks to the cinematography, by Selvakumar SK, for
capturing all the wonderful moments of the film. Though the circus related
scene were very less, the impalement arts comes as a real challenge to the hero
to get hold the heroin, who lives with his love at heart despite married to
someone forcefully, creates a silent revolution at the end!
P.s. It’s been long time or more than a year I
wrote a review on movies and mostly I write review on films I watch in theatre
but I haven’t went to the theatre in last 1 ½ year. But I like writing reviews on movies that moves me, just like Mehandi Circus, and I feel many good films goes out of sight as soon its release because having no star cast or big budget, I think of writing at least to show my circle there's a film like this. Right now I’m content with
the OTT or used to it but still watching movies in theatre is an experience that
not our home theatres produce. The HD contents on online streamings are far better these days and
some are available in 4k as well and along with a good sound system you can experience
the best.
