                Seldom do we get video cassettes of   new  Tamil movies here in Cedar Rapids. When we do so, people do not know about the same. This column intends  to recommend movies to interested viewers.

                One of the latest on the shelves of Zeeshan is "Pudhumaip Piththan" the R.Paarthipan starrer . It has  all that one would expect in a Paarthipan movie, plus a  whole  lot  of  advice  to public, the youth in general. The dialogues  by  RNR  carry  the  punch  necessary  for  all  these political plots. Paarthipan plays Jeeva,  a revolutionist villager who wants to serve the poor.   He ends up becoming the chief minister of the state who is loved by his people.  How he does  that forms  the   story-line.  The  cast  includes  Devayani,  Roja,  Priya Raman,  Ranjith,  Anandaraj, S.S.Chandran,Delhi Ganesh,  Jaiganesh and Vadivelu though none of them have a significant role to play other than Anandaraj and Roja. Music by Deva, as usual, remains familiar and at the same time passable, with sub-standard lyrics.

This movie is meant to be a wake-up call to the people of Tamil Nadu but it is left to the viewer to decide if it really is.
