The people of Vellimalai, a mountain village, refuse to see Subramani, a country doctor in the village, and insult him by teasing his medicine. Enduring it all, Subramani continues to practice medicine in the town hoping that one day people will understand the value of his medicine.
Meanwhile the villagers are suffering from a strange disease. One of them gets treated by Subramani and gets cured. As a result, the entire village takes refuge with the doctor Subramani to save them, who says that he has no medicine for the disease, and takes people to the top of the mountain in search of medicinal herbs. Once there, he shocks the people by saying that he doesn’t know what the medicinal herb is and that he didn’t heal the sick. Why did he say that? Did he save the sick? Isn’t it? That is the super good Subramani, who has played character roles in the rest of the films of ‘Vellimalai’, in which he has played the role of country doctor Agasthyar as the hero of the story. It is seen in all the scenes that Subramani, who has acted in his usual style without overacting in the name of showing difference and difference in acting as he is the hero of the story, has done what the director says.
Debutant Veersubash, who is playing the lead role, is a perfect choice for the role and has done his job flawlessly.
Debutant Anju Krishna, who is playing the role of Subramani’s daughter, has lived the life of a hill village girl in terms of diction, acting, body language and looks.
Giriraj, Vijayakumar, Charles Pandian, Kaviraj, Palanichamy, who have played other roles, although they are not seen on screen, but they act naturally and stick in the mind.
The cinematographer Maniperumal has worked hard crossing many forest hills in the scenes. Gram has shown the natural and beautiful plot as a lush green forest with pristine houses.
In NR Raghunandan’s music all the songs are listenable and all the lyrics are clearly understood. The background music also goes along with the story and adds strength to the film.
Art director Mayapandian’s hand-paints make Vellimalai village unintelligible whether it is natural or man-made. Cinematographer Satish Surya’s work is also exquisite.
Om Vijay, who has written and directed the story of the film in an attempt to convey to the people the wonder and necessity of traditional medicine, has emphatically recorded the glory of spirituality over traditional medicine in many places.
What will happen next with an unexpected turn of events after he has said his point in a nutshell? Director Om Vijay, who moves the story forward with expectations, the way he hired debut actors, the way he shot the scenes are all very natural and makes us enjoy the film as well, making us travel to Vellimalai village.
All in all, ‘Vellimalai’ will win the hearts of people.
