Santhosh Pratap, who lives in the lower street of a village in Ramanathapura district, and Nayagan Arulnidhi, who lives in the upper street, have been friends since childhood. Meanwhile, Santhosh Pratap stands against those who want to do politics based on caste, and Arulnidhi stands by him. Their friendship stands against caste discrimination. Angered by this, the politician Rajasimman is determined to somehow prove his influence in the village. Suddenly Santosh Pratap is murdered. The blame for the murder falls on Arul Nidhi. Who killed Santosh Pratap? What did Arulnidhi Santosh Pratap, who is absconding with the murder charge, do to those responsible for the murder? It is ‘Kalvethi Murkan’ who talks about anti-caste politics and the politics that need to be talked about in a very civilized manner and acceptable to all parties.
Arulnidhi, who used to play normal roles as the hero of the story, has played a mass role for the first time. Arulnidhi, who does justice to the name Murkansamy with a big curly moustache, is intimidating throughout the film, proving that no matter how big an action film, no matter what kind of role, he can handle it perfectly. As ferocious as she is in the action sequences, her sultry performance in the love scenes carries the entire film on her shoulders.
Even if the story does not drive the story, heroine Dushara Vijayan’s jumpy performance and fake speech make the scenes enjoyable. Tushara, who has always played the role of a brave woman, has played a similar role in this film as well, but her love scenes have attracted attention.
Santhosh Pratap, who plays the role of Bhumi in a meek manner, has done his job flawlessly and is crawling in the minds of the viewers of the film that education alone can elevate a person.
Although both Yar Kannan and Rajasimman played conventional villains, their modest performances did not harm the film in any way.
Even though Munishkanth cannot laugh in the scenes, he can think. His anti-authority lines to the police officer get a splash.
Sarath Lokitsava, Padman, Saya Devi, all the actors who have played the role in the film are suitable choices for the characters and through them the politics related to the story have been observed.
Sridhar’s cinematography beautifully captures the drought of Ramanathapura district. A hawk’s eye view of the Karuvelam wooded terrain of Ramanathapura district is stunning.
Even though the songs in D.Iman’s music are already heard, Yugabharathi’s lyrics make you hum. The background music is perfect for the action scenes.
Nagooran could have paid more attention to the first half, having edited the second half in such a way that it moves fast and briskly.
Fight director K. Ganesh’s action scenes are commercial in nature but add strength to the screenplay and are enjoyable.
Even films that say caste discrimination should not be seen are films that talk about the pride of upper castes. But director Sy has rightly said that caste discrimination should not be seen and those who think they are above one community are below another community, along with contemporary politics. Gautama Raj.
Although the screenplay is set in a typical village background, the actors Karthi and Prashanth’s fan club boards, the statue of Ambedkar standing majestically behind the torn Saadi Sangh banner, have taught a lesson through many symbols throughout the film, and the director Sy. Gautama Raj has received applause through the political dialogues spoken in the film.
While the action scenes, dialogues, character designs all add strength to the film, the length of the film is its biggest weakness. Keeping that weakness aside, ‘Kalvethi Moorgan’ is not only a slap in the face for casteists but also a treat for commercial film lovers.
