Director : Bramma
Cast : Master Ajay, Radhika prasidha, Sai Rajkumar, Pavel Navageethan.
Kuttram Kadithal, internationally celebrated film, won a National Award for the best regional film has finally hit the theaters. Directed by debutante G.Bramma, who has shown his lights to the complexities of present day Educational system. Movie depicts that Sex Education and Anger Management is must for both the students as well as teachers. We confuse kiss with a sexual onslaught because we where thought by the inappropriate media that it is a sexual activity rather than a way of expressing love which it used to be.
A small incident of a young boy Chezhiyan (Master Ajay) who kisses his classmate on her birthday acts as trigger for the movie. When the teacher insists him to apologize, he offers to kiss the teacher on her birthday. Teacher (Radhika prasidha) slaps him and in turn he falls unconscious with blood oozing from his nose is rushed to hospital where he goes into coma.
Merlin(Radhika) was advised to leave the city with his husband. She experiences the Agony, mental breakdown even as she was leaving the city. Chezhiyan's uncle (Pavel Navageethan) who is a communist wants to find merlin and make her pay for her doings. The insensitive media descends in the second half determined to sensationalize the incident so that they can increase their TRP rating. Within hours, television channels hold the debate session with child development officer and social activist. Madras pavel makes everyone anxious for his arrival since his intro was good. Except for Pavel, all are newcomers. Radhika who played as merlin has done her part neatly transforming from a happy newly wed to psychological affected trying to come in terms with her guilt. These are several such character and everyone has added their dimension to the film in a good manner.
Director excels in revealing the trauma of both the victim and the abuser, both sides of coin which most fail to do. Director has chosen the title from 44 athikaaram of Thirukkural, where thiruvalluvar alludes to avoid mistakes, even if you've committed one, have the guts to apologize. Using Bharathiyar's song, "Chinnachiru Killiye" was a excellent move. Dialogues were too good not to be ignored like the headmaster's wife rebuff to pavel, the way police woman speaks and handles the situation wisely, pavel's character established through his introduction words at the accident scenes.
Kuttram Kadhithal is a excellent dramatic movie, must watch one in recent times.
Lesson which we should learn is Anger management and Sex education. Every child comes to know of Sex in some part of their time through inappropriate medium. It is better that they learn it properly through a proper ones. If you feel shy to teach the next generation about the sex education, consequence will be bad. Young people can make good decisions about their sexual health if educational policies, programs and services are available to them. Anger management is must for teachers because marks are not the ultimate goal of education. Most would argue that if you want to preach discipline, you have to go through the hard part like spanking and beating. Discipline should help the children learn how to control their behavior, guide them and help them feel good about yourself but Spanking is only used to directly control the children's behavior. If a child learns discipline through spanking, this will make him think that corporal punishment is the solution for every problem.
