Director Selvaragavan is one of the most sought after directors in Tamil cinema. Since he made his debut as a hero, ”Saani Kaayidham” was highly anticipated by the fans. In this case, the film was released live on the Amazon Prime OTT site last night.
The story of shown in 1989. In a town called Paradesapattinam, the owner of a rice mill who thinks of himself as an upper caste has spoken ill of a person belonging to a different caste who works there. Then the problem raises there. He then apologizes again and leaves the bosses insulting the crowd for speaking ill of his wife when he comes back to work.
In retaliation, Ponni(Keerthi Suresh) the a police constable, is brutally beaten and gang-raped by a racist mob. They also set fire to the hut while Ponni’s husband and baby girl were sleeping inside the house. The story of Saani Kaayidham is about how Ponni takes revenge on the mob that destroyed her family and destroyed herself.
Like Arun Matheswaran’s previous film Rocky, this one is a blood revenge story. Selvaraghavan(Sangayya) and Keerthi Suresh are competing and intimidating in acting. The cinematography of the film is also on a different level. Selvaraghavan plays the perfect foil to Keerthy, as her older step brother Sangayya. The absence of some scenes from the trailer, which has raised expectations for the film, has disappointed fans.
Police Constable Ponni brutally shows his place in the caste hierarchy. After Ponni’s husband dares to dream of political power and refuses to clean the toilets, her family pays the price. With the help of her brother Sangayya, Ponni unleashes her innate revenge heroine. The deadly twins, traveling in a modern van, break out of an order approved by the community and are burned to death, which pushes them down.
The Saani Kaayidham is another example of how women from oppressed communities bear the bipolar burdens of patriarchy and casteism. Saani Kaayidham is a solid revenge play that will reach its humble aspirations. But there are still many unexplored possibilities to do, and you want the film to have that opportunity. Arun Madheswaran makes a name for himself to look out for.
The light blue #MatadorVan in #SaaniKaayidham plays an important role, and the important is cinematographers there are many female cinematographers in Tamil cinema. Among them Yamini Yagya Murthy is currently shining well .
