Aadukalam – vetri (victory) for vetrimaran

When you are out of theater, you feel proud to be the audience of the movie, someone direct movie for money, someone for images, someone for pride but only few direct for passion , last word is true for vetrimaran, who delivered on of the classic theater of recent time, movie not only entertain us, not only gives some message but shows some culture, tradition of the society, and carrying it in the mainstream along with others is really a hard thing , it is not an easy task for 2 and a half hour but director achieved in this movie and succeed.
Movie is all about revenge, ego, friendship, jealousy, petty same thing as he used in polladavan but with village story, The film is set in a suburb of Madurai where rooster or Cock fights is a major sport. Karuppu (Dhanush) is worker under Pettaikaran (Jayabalan) along with Dorai (Kishore) .story continuous with cock fight and love with Anglo Indian girl Irene (Taapasee).
Policeman Nareyn whose family for years used to conduct and win trophies in cock fighting and decides to have one last cock fight between his team and Pettaikaran to fulfill wish of his dying mother. The fight is conducted after a special permission is given by police and local bodies. In the crucial tournament, Nareyn using drug induced roosters in the first round, At this point to save the face of his guru Karuppu enters the ground with his rooster. this makes Pettaikaran feeling bad he announces that Karuppu is not a member of his team, Karuppu wins the game , this puts his mentor mind in dialomo that whether to celebrate the victory or to jealous because he is so young compare to his age and experience in that field . This creates gap in relation between karuppu and Pettaikaran who plots for the downfall of Karuppu.
Performance wise Dhanush has delivered on of his best on screen, Conveying messages through his eyes, controlling anger, enjoying his first love… He lived as karuppu, Jayabalan and Kishore are outstanding, and Kishore will get permanent seat in the industry either as supporting role or as villain. Heroin Taapasee was having less scope but suits to the role and looks cute and definitely leaves some lasting impression. Cinematography is one of greatest strengths. Background music is good and the Yathe Yathe... song is must watch.
“I am love you “Dhanush tells to Taapasee once in party, even we loves the movie
I will give 8 out of 10
