Paradesi (2013)

I love this movie so much

Good start, but then it gets ruined

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

We can try this movie just for the director Bala, he is one of the finest director in the world. Why bala is special from other directors in this world is because even if you give him a road side fellow he is capable of transforming him as a best actor.Coming to the movie, right from the starting till end it has been taken very neatly. The movie starts with lots of joy where the people in a small dry village where leading their life happily. Then comes a cold blooded snake who will take all men and followed by their women to work as slaves in a tea estates, the rest of the movie shows how their life turn out to be a hell.There are many hidden facts in this movie.Wonderful casting, very good cinematography, outstanding costumes, marvelous acting.Please try bala's other top notch movies like PITHAMAGAN, NAAN KADAVUL, NANDHA, SETHU.

Paradesi is by far Bala's best film. With no compromise on commercial aspects the movie literally relives the lives of the famine stricken people of southern India under the rule of the British.One can watch this movie simply to enjoy the language and the Tamil slang the people of that age used.At the end of the movie one would have gone through all emotions; happiness, sadness, laughter, pain, fear, pity. Though the story is adapted from 'Eriyum Panikadu' a Tamil translation of the 1969 novel Red Tea by Paul Harris Daniel this film has got a flavor of its own. The narrative style of the Director makes you feel as though you are one of the characters in the movie. The movie actually sucks the audience into it for its entire length leaving the audience much to think about in the end.Any person who enjoyed the movie would want to read the novel, any person who has already read the novel will enjoy the movie even more. Coming to the technical aspects, the film has already won the National award for Best costume designs. The Camera work is noteworthy,specially in the initial scenes. The background score is descent and the songs go well with the flow of the movie. The lead characters have excelled individually however the rest of casting could have been a little better.All in all Paradesi is a movie to watch, a movie to live,a movie to learn from..

A milestone in Tamil cinema! Bala has done complete justice to the story and plot he has chosen to showcase.A movie that will make you travel with every character for almost 2 hours and for sure at some point you will feel you are in the same world they are in, which itself is enough to say why Bala is a master of story teller. Bala has told this story about the Indian slaves in tea estate in his usual style - raw and rustic, not compromising his views for any commercial reasons, very daring particularly when portraying the intentions of Christian missionaries. Whatever he wanted his viewers to feel, he achieved with his perfection Every artist in this movie, we must say, has lived their character.Lead character in this movie is just one among the slaves, a innocent who cant even stand for himself, leads a lowerly life of waiting for food and his own independence most of his time. Bala just thrashes the formula we held ourselves for movies and heroes once again. Music, cinematography adds strength to the movie I personally feel Bala's best is yet to come. Eagerly awaiting his next one
