'Ayothi' movie review: Full of heart and yet, marred by melodrama

Ayothi

Death is indeed a profound teacher of life. Perhaps, it is death that reminds us to be humane and that the greatest loss is what dies inside us when we are alive. Many a time, human’s basic tenet, to be compassionate and empathic, is vanquished by cultivated differences, conceit and intolerance. And only the unsparing death of our close ones teaches us the value of life and makes us realise that we are all just a speck of dust in the universe. And Sasi Kumar’s Ayothi , an emotional drama, serves as a reminder for us to stay grounded and rise above the manufactured plague that comes in various names called religion, caste, creed, and race.

Initially, like many of them, I was sceptical if it was a political film considering the title’s reference to the place, Ayodhya, which holds the history of the political and socio-religious dispute over a piece of land. Although the film begins with montage shots of Ayodhya town, we soon understand that the film is endeavouring to tell a different story about life, death, and everything in between.

A chauvinistic patriarch Balram (Yashpal) from Ayodhya, decides to take his family, consisting of his wife Janaki, daughter Shivani (Preethi) and a young son, on a pilgrimage to Rameshwaram.

During the road transit from Madurai to Rameshwaram, Balram misbehaves with the driver, leading to an altercation. As the driver loses control, the car meets with an accident, leading to Janaki’s death. When the driver informs his friends, characters played by Sasikumar and Pugazh, decide to help the family in transporting the body to their native. The film unfolds with some soul-stirring series of events of the day.

Based on true events, the writer-director has taken an unconventional route to mark his directorial debut without any mass action block, a comedy track to induce chuckles or a muddled love angle.

Most importantly, one of the palpable aspects of the film is that the Hindi-speaking characters continue to speak in their mother tongue without shifting to Tamil or an overlapped Tamil dub. It helped the film retain its rootedness and realness in the emotions.

While the film has a reinvigorating story, the experience is watered down due to the burgeoning melodrama in many scenes. For instance, when the body is taken out of the mortuary, the extended shots of the children crying, on-and-off intercuts to the dead body, backed by the serial-ish melancholic-background score, stood extremely suffocating.

As audiences are embracing the idea of realistic cinema, the old-school treatment of forcefully injecting hard-hitting emotions could rip off the opportunity for the audiences to feel it by themselves organically. Likewise, Balram’s character being abusive to his wife, mercilessly not understanding the feelings of his children and harbouring customs and beliefs without even feeling for the loss of his wife does infuriate but, his overtly aggressive demeanour seems a bit caricaturish.

However, Yashpal, the veteran actor, does complete justice to the role with his convincing performance. Debutant Preethi, who plays the timid and naive Shivani throughout the film, has an assertive scene in pre-climax that lets her show off her acting potential. And at a point when she explodes at her inhumane father, making him realise that he did not let her mother live in peace, and yet bothers following customs to let her rest in peace, reverberates the core crux of the film. And for Sasikumar, other than his disjointed introduction fight scene, there are no unnecessary heroic moments. The actor gracefully plays the part and makes us feel like he is one among us. Comedian Pugazh efficiently breaks out of the typecast.

Meanwhile, Ayothi has its share of some predictable elements, including the final reveal and some reactions in between. But it can be overlooked for the genuine efforts reflected in the writing. Although it is an emotional drama, the creator has sincerely weaved in some challenging conflictsto offer a satisfactory experience. It is indeed a relief to see a film stand true to its vision in most parts. However, the haphazard Gana and dance sequence by a bunch of petty thieves at the police station is completely out of place.

Ayothi could have offered a long-lasting impact if only there was some finesse in the craft and freshness in the treatment. Even the hackneyed style of music and the songs lacked subtlety, hence, creating jarring atmos. Ayothi, through the concept of death, comments on brotherhood, the value of family, and shows that love knows no difference. Above all, it instils hope that there are still some good people left on earth, making it a better place to live.

Ayothi Director : Manthira Moorthy Cast : Sasi Kumar, Yashpal Sharma, Preethi Asrani, Pugazh Rating : 2.5/5

Ayothi review: A sensible take on the fading sense of humanity

Director Manthira Moorthy creates a niche for himself in his maiden effort; he's a here to stay!

Bhaskar Basava

'Ayothi' marks directorial debut of Manthira Moorthy in Tamil cinema. (SasikumarDir/Twitter)

Director Manthira Moorthy is here to stay!

Ayothi (Tamil)

  • Cast: Sasikumar, Yashpal Sharma, Preethi Asrani, Anju Asrani, and Master Advaith
  • Director: Manthira Moorthy
  • Producer: Trident Arts Ravindran
  • Music: NR Raghunandan
  • Runtime: 2 hours
  • Cast: Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Emraan Hashmi, and Revathy
  • Director: Maneesh Sharma
  • Producer: Aditya Chopra
  • Music: Pritam Chakraborty
  • Runtime: 2 hours 35 minutes

While most films celebrate the qualities of courage, love, bravery or tenacity, only a few underline the significance of compassion and kindness. Director Manthira Moorthy’s Ayothi is a rare gem that just does that.

The film, based on a real-life incident that happened in Tamil Nadu, is easily among those projects that make Tamil cinema proud.

The story begins in Ayodhya where Balram (Yashpal Sharma), an ardent Ram bhakt , resides with his wife Janaki (Anju Asrani), college-going daughter Shivani (Preethi Asrani) and young son Sonu (Master Advaith).

Balram is religious to the point of being cruel. Needless to say, his wife and children tremble when he is around.

Ahead of Diwali celebrations, he gets train tickets for a holy trip to Rameshwaram in Tamil Nadu. The family is overjoyed at the prospect of a trip and eagerly prepares for it.

The appointed day arrives and the trip begins. The family reaches Madurai. Balram, who is particular that they be in Rameshwaram by sunrise, looks to hire a cab.

In the cab, he starts chewing paan and keeps goading the driver — who exercises maximum restraint — to pick up speed.

Balaram keeps annoying the driver with his antics even as his wife and daughter look helplessly on from the back.

At one point, a fight ensues between the cab driver and Balram, eventually resulting in an accident.

While the driver suffers major injuries on his legs and arms, Balram’s wife Janaki suffers a head injury and is knocked unconscious. They rush her to a nearby hospital where doctors say that she has to undergo surgery which can only be done at the government hospital in Madurai.

However, most of the ambulance drivers are on a holiday (Diwali). Meanwhile, the cab driver, who is rendered immobile, calls up his friend (Sasikumar) for assistance.

When Sasikumar (I am not revealing his character’s name as it has significance and is only disclosed at the end) arrives at the hospital with another friend Pandi (Pugazh) to help out the driver, they see Shivani and Sonu weeping and are moved to pity.

Unable to communicate in the local language and stranded without a penny in their pockets, due to the accident, the children are in distress. They look helplessly at their mother even as Balram keeps blaming everybody who tries to help them rather than looking to save his wife.

At one point, Shivani seeks help from Sasikumar and Pandi. They don’t understand a word she utters but understand her pain and her request for help. What happens next is what the story is all about.

Restores faith in humanity

Ayothi is gripping right from the word go. The frantic efforts people make to help someone they do not know restores faith in humanity and unconsciously brings a smile to your face by the time the film ends.

It is not just about the efforts of one individual. The film shows how several people, in varying capacities, go out of their way to help someone in distress.

Also Read: Dooradarshana Kannada movie review

From a friend who sells his precious belongings to help out (Balaram’s) family to an unwell dean who looks to clear documents on a festival day, and the airport authorities who look for loopholes in rules so they can come to the aid of helpless passengers, Ayothi showcases people from different walks of life doing their bit to help.

The film narrates how all their little contributions finally add up to make a big difference to the family in distress.

And guess what? Music director NR Raghunandan’s background score accentuates the emotions on screen. He is phenomenal.

Performances

Sasikumar comes up with a strong performance after a long time. This film is bound to revive his career as an actor and put him back under the spotlight.

Preethi Asrani, who makes her debut in Tamil cinema as Shivani, comes up with a brilliant performance and steals the limelight.

Along with her sister Anju Asrani (who plays her mother Janaki in the film), Preethi delivers a powerful performance that breathes life into the movie.

Also Read: All eyes on Nani’s ‘Dasara’ this month

Well-known Bollywood actor Yashpal Sharma, who makes his debut in Tamil cinema with A yothi , comes up with a commendable performance. He plays Balram with flair and conviction.

Pugazh, as Sasikumar’s loyal friend Pandi, comes up with a sterling performance to announce his arrival in the film industry.

மனிதம் இருக்கு என்று நம்புங்கள் #Ayothi in cinemas now #AyothiFromToday pic.twitter.com/aaL5QirfuA — M.Sasikumar (@SasikumarDir) March 3, 2023

Ayothi marks Manthira Moorthy’s directorial debut in the Tamil film industry and he creates a niche for himself in his maiden effort. Don’t be surprised if I say that Manthira Moorthy would take Tamil cinema to greater heights!

And yes, don’t give this film a miss.

அயோத்தி Review: மனிதத்தைச் சொல்வதில் கவனம் ஈர்க்கும் படைப்பு

ayodhya tamil movie review behindwoods

“உன்னையும் என்னையும் ஒன்றிணைக்கும் வாழ்வில் அன்புதான் பாலமாகுமே” என படத்தில் இடம்பெற்றுள்ள பாடல் வரிதான் ஒட்டுமொத்த படத்தின் ஒன்லைன்.

அயோத்தியில் தீவிர இந்து குடும்பம் பல்ராமுடையது. ஆணாதிக்க மனோபாவம் கொண்ட அவர் தனது மனைவி, மகள், மகனுடன் இணைந்து ராமேஸ்வரத்திற்கு புனித யாத்திரை பயணத்தை மேற்கொள்கிறார். அந்தப் பயணத்தில் விபத்து ஏற்பட்டு பல்ராம் குடும்பத்தில் ஒருவர் இறக்க, பரிச்சயமில்லாத, மொழி தெரியாத ஊரில் சிக்கிக்கொள்கின்றனர். இறுதியில் இறந்த சடலத்துடன் தங்கள் சொந்த ஊரான அயோத்திக்கு அவர்கள் திரும்பிச்சென்றது எப்படி? அவர்களுக்கு உதவியது யார்? அதில் ஏற்பட்ட சிக்கல்கள் என்ன? - இதுதான் படத்தின் திரைக்கதை.

மதம், இனம், மொழிகளைக் கடந்தது மனிதம் என்பதை அழுத்தம் திருத்தமாக சொல்ல முனைந்திருக்கும் இயக்குநர் மந்திரமூர்த்தி சொற்ப கதாபாத்திரங்களின் வழி அதை நிறுவுகிறார். ‘ஜெய் ஸ்ரீராம்’ பாடலுடன் அயோத்தி மண்ணில் தொடங்கும் படம் தமிழகத்தில் நுழைந்து வேகமெடுக்க தேவையான நேரத்தை எடுத்துக்கொண்டு விரிவடைகிறது. பல்ராமின் ஆதிக்க மனபான்மையால் பாதிக்கப்படும் குடும்பம், தமிழர்கள் மீதான அவரது பார்வை, எதிர்பாரா விபத்து என நீளும் படத்தின் முதல் பாதி கதையின் நோக்கம் தொடர்பான கேள்விகளை எழுப்பினாலும் பெரிய அளவில் தொய்வில்லாமல் நகர்கிறது.

இருவேறு மாநில மண்ணைச் சேர்ந்தவர்கள் ‘மனிதம்’ என்ற ஒற்றைப் புள்ளியில் இணையும் இடம், மொழி என்பது வெறும் தொடர்பியல் ஊடகம் தான் என்பதை விளக்கி, பாஷைகள் புரியாவிட்டாலும் உணர்வுகள் எல்லோருக்கும் பொதுவானது என்பதை படம் நெடுங்கிலும் கடத்தியிருந்த விதம் ஈர்ப்பு. ‘உசுறோட இருக்கறவங்க செஞ்சதா மறந்துட்வாங்க. ஆத்மா மறக்காது’ வசனத்துடன் ஆங்காங்கே வரும் அழுத்தமான எமோஷனல் காட்சிகள் திரைக்கதையின் ஓட்டத்திற்கு உயிர்கொடுக்கின்றன.

படத்தின் இறுதியில் வரும் ‘மதம்’ தொடர்பான ஒற்றைக்காட்சியும் வசனமும், ஒட்டுமொத்த படத்திற்குமான ஆன்மாவாக ஓங்கி ஒலிக்கும் அந்த இடத்தில், உண்மையில் படத்தின் தரத்தை கூட்டி அதன் ஆவரேஜ் தன்மையிலிருந்து உயர்த்திவிடுகிறது. அதேபோல, பல்ராமின் மகள், தாய்க்கு ஆதரவாக உடைந்து பேசும் காட்சி கூடுதல் அழுத்தம்.

பதற்றத்துடன் அங்குமிங்கும் பரபரப்பாக ஓடிக்கொண்டிருக்கும் சசிகுமார், உதவச் சென்று சிக்கலில் மாட்டிகொள்வது, இறுதிவரை பாதிக்கப்பட்டவர்களுக்காக நிற்பது என தனது வழக்கமான நடிப்பில் முத்திரை பதிக்கிறார்.

அறிமுக நடிகையான ப்ரீத்தி அஸ்ராணிக்கு பெரும்பாலும் எமோஷனல் காட்சிகளில் நடிக்க வேண்டிய தேவை. அதை திறம்பட கையாண்டு, தேவையான உணர்ச்சிகளை அதே அழுத்ததுடன் கூடிய மீட்டரில் கடத்தும் விதத்தால் தேர்ந்த நடிகரின் சாயலை பிரதிபலிக்கிறார்.

சதா பான்பராக்கை மென்றுகொண்டு ஆதிக்கம் செலுத்திக்கொண்டு, ஒட்டுமொத்த பார்வையாளர்களின் கோபத்தையும் பெற்று தனது யதார்த்தமான நடிப்பில் ஸ்கோர் செய்கிறார் யஷ்பால் ஷர்மா. சிடுமூஞ்சியுடன் இருக்கும் அவர் உடைந்து அழும் காட்சி ஒன்றில் தேர்ச்சியான நடிப்பை வெளிப்படுத்துகிறார். அஞ்சு அஸ்ராணி, சிறுவன் அத்வைத் கதாபாத்திரத்திற்கு தேவையான நடிப்பை கொடுக்கின்றனர். புகழ் காமெடிக்கு முயற்சிக்காமல் கதையோட்டத்தோடு பயணிக்கிறார்.

‘அயோத்தி’ காட்சிப்படுத்தும் உலகில் மனிதர்கள் அனைவரும் புனிதர்கள். எந்த அளவிற்கென்றால், தீபாவளி அன்று கூட அரசு மருத்துவமனை டீன் கையெழுத்திடுவது, தனியார் மருத்துவமனையினர் எம்பாமிங் செய்ய அரசு மருத்துவமனைக்கு தனது ஊழியரை ஃப்ரீயாக அனுப்பி பணிச்செய்ய சொல்லுவது, காவல் துறையிடம் நடக்கும் சிக்கலில்லாத விசாரணை, ஆவணப் பிழைத்திருத்தம் இருந்தபோதிலும் க்ளியரன்ஸ் செய்து கொடுக்கும் அதிகாரி, பைக்கை விற்று பணம் கொடுக்கும் நண்பர் என நெடுங்கிலும் இத்தனை நல்லுங்களா?. உண்மையில் அப்படியான மனிதம் மிக்க உலகை நாமும் காண ஆசை தான். ஆனால் யதார்த்தம் அதிலிருந்து விலகியிருப்பதாலும், சில இடங்களில் ஹீரோயிசத்தின் மிகையாலும் படத்துடன் ஒன்ற முடியவில்லை.

ஓரிடத்தில், ‘நம்மூர்ல ரேஷன் கார்ட்ல இன்ஷியல் மாத்துறதுக்கே ஒரு மாசம் ஆக்குவாங்க, இத்தனை டாக்குமென்ட் எப்டி சார் வாங்க’ என வசனம் பேசும் சசிகுமார் ஒரேநாளில் எல்லா ஆவணங்களையும் திரட்டுவது அவர் பேசும் யதார்த்த வசனத்துக்கு அவரின் செயல்பாடு ஆகப்பெரும் முரண். மனிதத்தை பேசும் படத்தின் எளிய பிணவறை ஊழியர் ஒருவர், உண்டியல் உடைத்து சிறுவன் கொடுக்கும் காசை வாங்குகிறார். அதேசமயம் போஸ்வெங்கட் போன்ற முதலாளி இலவசமாக உதவ வருவதாக காட்சிப்படுத்தியிருக்கும் விதம் கருத்தியல் நெருடல்.

என்.ஆர்.ரகுநந்தனின் பின்னணி இசை தேவையான உணர்ச்சிகளை கடத்த உதவியிருக்கிறது. பாடல்கள் ரசிக்க வைத்தாலும், ‘திருட்டு பயல’ பாடல் கதைக்கு தேவையில்லாத திணிப்பு. இறுதியில் வரும் பாடல்களும் வரிகளும் கதைக்கு பலம். மாதேஷ் மாணிக்கத்தின் ஒளிப்பதிவு காட்சிகளை ரசிக்க வைக்கிறது. மொத்தத்தில் மனிதநேயத்தை வலியுறுத்தும் படம் தர்க்கப் பிழைகளையும், சில பல குறைகளையும் தாண்டி, அதன் நோக்கத்திற்கு முடிந்த அளவுக்கு நியாயம் சேர்த்திருக்கும் விதத்தில் கவனம் பெறுகிறது.

‘Ayothi’ (2023) ZEE5 Movie Review - A Tiring Journey

ayodhya tamil movie review behindwoods

Ayothi is a Tamil movie directed by R. Manthira Moorthy and has Preethi Asrani, Pugazh, M. Sasikumar, and Yashpal Sharma as the main cast. Ayothi was released on Zee5 on April 7, 2023, and had its theatrical release on March 3, 2023.

Ayothi starts with Balram selling offerings at one of the ghats in Ayodhya. He misbehaves with his customers, clearly indicating how he would be in his personal life. Janaki, his wife, is a loving woman who takes care of her children and husband. The one thing she lacks is raising her voice at the wrongdoings of her husband. They are going to Rameshwaram for Diwali and the wife thinks that the holy water of Rameshwaran will change her husband. They all start their journey from Ayodhya and get down at Madurai Railway Station. From there, the family takes a cab to Rameshwaram, which is 1-2 hours far.

In the cab, Balram gets into argument with the driver. He bangs the driver’s head on the steering wheel which resulted in an imbalance of the car and hence an accident. The driver, Balram, Shivani, and Sonu suffered minor injuries, but Janaki got a severe head injury. Because of the language barrier and no known one in that city, the family has to face a lot of difficulties. Balram still doesn’t accept his mistakes. Shivani joined hands in front of strangers to get help for arranging her mother to an ambulance. These strangers help them throughout with the ignorant father in the background babbling things he shouldn’t be saying. 

Sometimes strangers help us in a manner that no one even knew would. In this estranged land with no help, these strangers were the form of God as they helped unimaginably. Balram’s ignorant behavior takes the front seat in Ayodhi. Men like him exist, we see his types in our surroundings as well. In front of everyone, they behave like there’s no one better than them when in reality they’re the worst.

Ayothi in my opinion should have instead been named Rameshwaran as all the things happened in that city and not in Ayodhya. Also, a better title would be one that suggested the attitude of the father towards his family. The man of the family has a role to look after his family and in Ayothi the father we see is horrible. He has no respect for the work his wife does, doesn’t want to pay for his daughter’s college, and even hits his wife in front of the children. Despite being a pandit, chanting gods' names, and praying, this man didn’t know how to behave with his wife. Even after she died, he got no chills and instead ran around blaming others when he was the one responsible.

This two-hour long film seems like a tiring experience as the same topic could have been told in an hour also. The film seems to be too long to hold the attention of the audience. The subject raised in the movie is of importance but the time taken to show the same seems tiring. Yashpal Sharma did a fine job as Balram and did Preethi Asrani in the role of Shivani.

The most memorable scene in the whole film is when Shivani finally gets the courage to stand up against her father. They were standing in front of the embalming hall when Balram starts to say that he’ll not allow this as it will not allow his wife’s soul to go to heaven. At that moment, Shivani finds the courage to stand up against her father and says “jab zinda thi tab toh jeene nhi dia”. I found the scene to be empowering because no one in Balram’s family ever dared to stand up against him.

The background music played at the start of the movie seems too romantic to go with what was going on. For example, there was a fight going on, and in the background, we have soft romantic beats. In another introductory scene in which Abdul was chasing some people, it looked like he wasn’t chasing them but calculating how to adjust his speed so that he doesn’t catch the enemies too soon. He was supposed to be running, and the distance between him and the enemies was too small, he was seen stopping at moments. In all, some scenes in the movie could have been improved. 

Final Score –  [5/10] Reviewed by - Riya Singh Follow  @_riyasinghhh_  on Twitter Publisher at  Midgard Times

AGILAN MOVIE REVIEW CLICK TO RATE THE MOVIE

Agilan is a film written and directed by N Kalyana Krishnan and produced by Screen Scene Media Entertainment. The film has Jayam Ravi and Priya Bhavani Shankar in the lead roles while  Tanya Ravichandran, Hareesh Peradi, Harish Uthaman, Madhusudhan Rao and others play crucial supporting roles. It has music by Sam CS and cinematography by Vivek Anand.

Agilan (Jayam Ravi) is a crane operator in a private port in Chennai and is involved in smuggling drugs for a local gangster (played by Hareesh Peradi). He is continuously at loggerheads with a special police officer appointed by the Finance Ministry, and union leader Jananathan (played by Madhusudhan Rao). What are his ulterior motives, and why does he take part in smuggling drugs and human trafficking forms the rest of the plot.

Director Kalyana Krishnan is someone who comes from SP Jhananathan's school of films, Agilan is no different from it, as the film speaks about how ports and cargo ships impact the everyday economy of a common man in any country, and the global hunger issue as a whole. When compared to Jhananathan's works, or even Kalyana Krishnan's previous film Booloham, one must say this one is slightly alienated from the common man.

This is mainly because the above mentioned films directly show the impact of those politics on the common man, thereby emotionally connecting with the audience. In Agilan, the issue is explained properly through dialogues, but there are no scenes showing the consequences or effects. Therefore it feels like a lesson on global politics and less like a film, no matter how noble the intent/messaging is. 

Jayam Ravi carries the entire film as Agilan - The King of the Indian Ocean. The stunt choreography and his physical appearance in the film go hand in hand, and that engages us to a certain extent. Apart from him, Priya Bhavani Shankar performs with utmost sincerity in her limited screen time. Among the supporting cast, everyone has done their job well, but it is Madhusudhan Rao who plays the role of a union leader, who stands out.

The director names the union leader Jhananathan, thereby paying a tribute to the late director, and those scenes work well emotionally, at the same time fitting with the narrative seamlessly. Usually when a film speaks about global politics, there is always a possibility to go overboard with the message coming out as cringeworthy, but Agilan is safe on that front.

Sam CS' background score is pulsating, although moments of silence here and there would have worked wonders. The Dhrogam song at the start is groovy with fantastic lyrics, and the song in the second half which is more of an instrumental is also placed well without disturbing the screenplay.

Overall, Agilan is a film with fantastic performances and background score that deserved a better screenplay. The second half lags a lot while the first half is a complete opposite to it. Despite having a good message, not connecting well with the audience makes the film like a fantastic lecture in a classroom where the students have already zoned out. A watchable flick.
