Harish Kalyan’s wife Induja, who is married for love, is moving into the upstairs area of the house where civil servant MS Bhaskar, his wife and daughter have been living on rent for 10 years. Harish Kalyan buys a new car within a few days of his arrival. Parking the car in the small space of his house causes inconvenience to Ms. Bhaskar who already has a two-wheeler parked in that space. As a result, the conflict that starts in speech turns into an ego battle and unimaginable incidents happen. ‘Parking’ is a vivid description of who is affected and how.
The hero Harish Kalyan, who plays the role of IT employee Ishwar, is the biggest strength of the film with his youthful yet mature performance. From expressing his anger at the minor damage to his new car, from taking on a parking problem, to being devastated by a sexual accusation, he is amazing in his acting and has proven that he can handle any character with finesse.
MS Bhaskar, who plays a civil servant, portrays the villainy that befits her character, even though she plays the sly of the incumbents. Approaching 60, MS Bhaskar’s actions, whose ego collides with youth, are ground-breaking, and her performances while doing them are applauded. MS Bhaskar, who handles any role perfectly, manages to avoid even an iota of comedy and impresses fans with her body language and expressions.
Induja, who plays Harish Kalyan’s wife, has played a role to strengthen the storyline.
Rama who plays MS Bhaskar’s wife, Prarthana who plays his daughter and Illasaru who plays the house owner have polished the fine acting scenes.
Cinematographer Jiju Sunny has shot the script very naturally based on an incident and moves the scenes at a fast pace.
Philomin Raj’s cinematography transports the scenes briskly and leaves the audience on the edge of their seats at some points. Especially Harish Kalyan’s plan to trap MS Bhaskar is the height of excitement.
Not only those who live in rented accommodation but also those who own their own house sometimes face such problems, every scene of the film is strongly imprinted in the minds of the viewers and they are able to relate themselves to the storyline.
Director Ramkumar Balakrishnan has deeply recorded the idea that there is no solution to such problems, but we can avoid such problems if we live with humanity and tolerance towards each other.
The lack of innovation in the climax and the predictable nature of the incidents during the conflict between the two may cause minor setbacks at some points, but ultimately this ‘Parking’ gives you the satisfaction of watching a good film.
