There were movies about good innocent people of villages and this movie is just another part of the same village. Minus: Too much **** words and the very bold climax but that is acceptable for everybody who had seen world classics or who had visited rural areas of south Tamil Nadu.
The boldness in the climax is not going to spoil the movie, that climax will only pull the movie from a usual standard to higher one. The movie which entertained you for two+ hours will make you cry in the last ten minutes. Yes, it is bold but it should be because it is the reason why the movie is what it is now. Review will not be completed without saying anything about climax. I wonder how this movie missed the entry for best foreign film for Oscars. We see his passion for film making in each frames. The story is very simple and not new but the way Ameer Sultan had handled the script is terrific. We can see how much this movie had inspired the current trend even in characterization of the heroes. And the current (2011) trend of village based bold movies all started with ‘Paruthiveeran’. Look out for the bgm: The bgm when Muthazhagu hug Paruthiveeran for the first time.Īfter the later 80s we had never seen such soulful, down to earth, freshness, beauty of village like this. Watching the movie in one stress and you are not going to forget the song 'Aiyyayyoo' or 'Ariyatha Vayasu'. Yuvan Shankar Raja's music is a milestone and I rate this as his best album along with Puthupettai.
Saravanan, Ponvannan and Kanja Karuppu, they gave high level of support to the main cast for delivering the entertaining-tragic story of Paruthiyur. The innocent happiness at the peak is shown in such a beautiful way. The scene where she finds that Paruthi had started loving her and asks her to lay on his chest. She is awesome when she shouts 'My body needs strength to take his beatings. Look out for the scene: where she asks her grandmother to give more food to eat after beaten by her father. Then 'Muthazhagu', Priyamani (National Award Winner) the backbone of the movie, what a performance! Her voice is very powerful and is very apt for this particular role, the sadness in her voice was a minus for her city life characters but as Muthuzhagu, she is the best available in the industry. Look out for the scene: Scenes where he starts feeling and shows his love to Muthazhagu. The buzz doing rounds now is that a producer is trying to secure the rights of Tamil blockbuster Paruthiveeran. And now it is hard to accept somebody as Paruthi. And I wondered how Ameer gave such a heavy role for a new comer, and the end result is very convincing. He was so positive and has the relaxed attitude of a practiced actor. Karthi as Paruthiveeran is striking and he never look like a new comer. Ameer has brought breathing rural unfussiness and involvedness in front of us.
Listening to the songs will give a clue to the climax, explains well what the ending is about. The tragic mood of the movie is present right from the starting frame. His presentation is so stunning that there are more than a few grand cinematic flashes.

Priyamani made his debut with the movie Ullam in 2003 but her major breakthrough came three years later with the Ameer directorial Paruthi Veeran in which she played the character Muthazhagu. However, when she was approached with the script for Sirivennela, she just couldn’t say no and took up the offer. Priyamani got married to her long-time beau in August last year and stayed away from the limelight.
