Alagarsamiyin Kuthirai(அழகர்சாமியின் குதிரை )


Rare attempt to bring a short story to a film and director Suseendran had succeeded.Kudos to him.His first movie "Vennila kabbadi kulu" brought the Tamil village's essence and his second movie " Naan Mahaan Alla" was another feel good story.Now "Alagarsamiyin Kuthirai" made him one of the directors to look forward in future along with Bala,Ameer and others.

The story starts with the theft of horse in the village temple.Without that horse the villagers can not celebrate the festival as the deity rides on the horse.They found a horse which was abandoned and they decided that it was sent by the gods.The story takes the turn when the owner of the horse came to rescue it.The rest of the story was about how the owner and horse was united and the festival itself.

The first half was hilarious and very funny specially the scene in police station where the village heads go to complain about horse thought... laugh ride... and the side track of  "Minor" .. the romance scenes were shot wonderfully.Cinematography by Theni Eshwar was wonderful, he brought the village alive with his top angle shots, great work. Music by Ilaiyaraja was excellent, many people mentioned that music was not upto the mark but for me  excellent, the three songs and the background were scored beautifully. Even though story takes place  in 80's the background music was still good. The initial "Kadam" score for the song " Poova kele" was wonderful  i liked it.Fight sequences by Anal Arasu was natural and fits to the story.Though the second half was not as good as the first one but still we can watch and enjoy!
Appukutty and Charanya Mohan

Appu kutty as Alagarsamy fits perfect to the role and he did a commendable job. Prabhakaran as president's son did a good job.The two heroines charanya Mohan and Advaita have done their role neatly and of course they both were looked beautiful in this movie. All the characters were perfect! Great work by director. Suseendran has done it again!
Director Suseendran

One can ask many questions on the handling of this story but the actors wonderful acting and dialog writer's apt dialogs compensate those things. Overall a good movie!
