PASANGA - Movie Review

Pasanga is a neat movie by debut director pandiyaraj. As title imply the movie revolves around two small boys ‘Anbu’ and ‘Jeeva’. The two boys really acted well especially Jeeva (the same boy who acted in Katrathu Tamil) scores well. Director moulds every character beautifully (anbu’s little brother is good example) all the characterization are so natural, especially Anbu’s father and mother character, typical middle class. One good thing I liked about the movie is use of positive messages throughout the movie, use of Abdul kalam’s dream to encourage children is really great, hats off to the director.

Love sequence is also good in the movie, Vega (saroja fame) did her part well, usage of Ilaiyaraaja’s track for their love is good but then I don’t know why all the directors is doing this. Since already sasikumar used some tracks of Raja in Subramaniapuram i am not sure whether he is fan of Raja or James vasanthan is fan of Raja. Coming to music of the movie, James vasanthan scores well in the songs but fail to impress in BGM. First half an hour film is spoiled by BGM, I was thinking what would happen if Raja scored music for the movie while watching first half an hour. Two songs are really good, one song sung by Shreya Goshal ,Naresh Iyer and other song sung by Dr. Balamurali Krishna are surely of repeated hearing genre. Picturization of these two songs are really appraisable.

Coming to downside of the movie, Climax is too cinematic and also it reminds Anjali movie. Director should have made first half an hour little more interesting. But overall the movie is worth watching.

Verdict: Movie with Message
