Vaagai Sooda Vaa Review
Om Prakash’s camera wanders all over an arid, parched landscape, rendering it in sepia tones, capturing the sharp, stark reality of a land and people who literally scrape clay for a livelihood.
The film has a rustic feel to it and from the previews that have come out the movie will take the audience on a time-machine that will flashback to the 1960s. Special care has been taken for the look and make up of all the artists.
‘Vaagai Sooda Vaa’ is produced by the director�s close friend Muruganandham and the music for the film is by yet another close friend Gibran. The music release for ‘Vaagai Sooda Vaa’ was held recently and was a grand event with many popular names from the industry taking part in the music launch. The first music disc was released by director Bharathi Raja and was graciously accepted by director K. Bhagyaraj. M Ghibran joins the list of debut composers who have impressed with their work in recent times. The music score complements the movie, and marks him out as a musician to watch out for. The heavy, throaty voice of Neha Bhasin adds to the allure of ‘Poraney, poraney’, but it is Chinmayi who walks away with the honours with the melodious ‘Sara Sara Kathu’.
Sargunam, his art director Cheenu and cinematographer Omprakash have carefully recreated the life in rural Tamil Nadu – especially the lives of brick kiln workers – in the 1960s, and deserve praise for their attention to detail – be it the production design or the clothing or the props.For us city-dwellers, it is a welcome trip back to the villages and to a time when success wasn’t defined by wealth alone.
