‘Kodiyil Oruvan’ movie review: A silly drama that neither gets its ‘mass’ right nor its politics
The HinduSeptember 17, 2021 04:21 pm | Updated 05:12 pm IST I would like to draw all your attention towards what could be one of the fantastically-put together hero introduction songs in the recent past. In under 10 minutes in Kodiyil Oruvan, we get a song about the hero with snapshots from his everyday life, that not just spells out for the audience what a gold-hearted and diamond-footed hero Tamil cinema has never seen, but screams it instead. But in Kodiyil Oruvan, we seemed to have finally found the answer to why Tamil cinema’s mass heroes are good-hearted and diamond-footed. Kodiyil Oruvan Cast: Vijay Antony, Aathmika, Divya Prabha and Ramachandra Raju Director: Ananda Krishnan What’s it about? Picture this: in the said song, Vijaya Raghavan carries an elderly woman when he finds her unable to walk; he delivers medicines and groceries to the needy, takes care of his mother, does swimming, serves as part-time teacher to children, can be seen occasionally practising boxing and From this peculiar, yet very real description of the song, you, the reader, should have now figured out the kind of film Kodiyil Oruvan is.
