Mozhi Review

I have learned from my recent projects the meaning of "you learn more from failing than from winning". But the primary ingredient essential in both winning and losing is the heart to transform your ideas into theories and then experimenting with them. Of what use is it if you have a load of ideas that you are never going to implement? To conduct these experiments more than anything else you need to have the courage to lose. For a long time Tamil directors(sans Mani Sir) always lacked this courage to experiment.

That was up until recently. After seeing 'Veyyil' and 'Mozhi' I realize that times are indeed changing. These two movies have shunned any traces of commercialism and have gone on prove that you can make your movie a big hit even with quality. A hero no longer needs to fight 20 people or even better there need be no villain at all. A musician falls in love with a girl who is both deaf and dumb who had never wanted to feel the impairment of her muteness to come in the way of her life.

What follows from there is very soothing melody. Very well told. This subject was one that could very easily have been spoilt. I would give equal credit to the direction and the screenplay. More important than that I think the producers who were ready to finance such new experiments. It takes immense courage from them to field in a pool of talents whom they believe in. New actors, music directors, directors and add to that an unproven domain. Welcome to the elite group gentlemen.

P.S. : Sorry for not revealing more of the movie or the story. I strongly feel that anything more than this would be to spoil the good works of the gentlemen involved in that. See the movie ASAP.

A very good performance by Jothika. Worthy of a best actress award.
