Arulmozhi Varman (Arvind Swamy) and his family departed from Needamangalam, thanjavur when they lost their home owing to certain unfortunate events. Young Arulmozhi (Saran), his father Jayaprakash, and other others go with broken hearts. Before many years pass, Arulmozhi goes back to his hometown to attend a wedding. Arulmozhi's return home becomes a bittersweet one as he encounters karthi, a relative who exudes a contagious grin and a youthful purity that makes the former struggle to remember who he is.
When a woman's husband announces that he intends to purchase the house they rent, she leaps with excitement, knowing she can decorate the residence to her heart's content. Another bride prioritizes carefully unpacking her brother's present without creases in the wrapping paper, and she makes sure to open every item of his on stage. Why? The cover is just as significant as the actual present. What qualifies as unimportant? or what matters? In prem Kumar's works, however, the significance is found in the small pleasures that individuals cherish rather than demeaning them in a general sense. Because without savoring the small things in life, what good is life?
Meiyazhagan is another example of this: the little pleasures in life and the impromptu acts of kindness that can deeply penetrate another person's memories and alter their course in life. Meiyazhagan, above all, is a film about a man's agonizing return to the place he once called home. Why would someone reject to go back to where they used to belong? How could anyone choose to flee from the earth that had once healed their wounds? Why would you flee from the feelings that may finally let you realize how much you've missed the location?
Meiyazhagan may not provide clear solutions to these concerns, but he nonetheless makes you feel good about yourself if you were once innocent and lost to the harsh realities of life. And as life begins, people undergo irreversible transformation. Meiyazhagan turns as a calming salve for injuries you were unaware you had.
Arulmozhi is showered with love and devotion by a specific guy when he visits Needamangalam, a location that had caused him the excruciating sorrow of separation, despite his misgivings. Let's refer to him as the obnoxiously kind relative who, despite his innocent and infantile appearance, has a unique understanding of suffering and personality. It only takes him a few hours to realize that his village's run-down lodges are too much for his urban-return attan, as he affectionately calls Arulmozhi, to get used to, but it takes the entire movie for Arulmozhi to figure out who the relative is. prem Kumar presents a compelling argument for this by incorporating historical narratives, occasionally sprinkled with sharply worded political commentary.
Naturally, being a man of few words, Arulmozhi considers the relative to be intrusive and verbose. But when his wife Nandhini (Sri Divya) tells him that this one day would give the rest of the year something to look back on to remember their time together, he starts to see why he is such a talker. These kinds of subtleties are subtly revealed by prem Kumar, yet they stay long enough to be noticed and eventually make you feel like a member of the family.
Like in his previous picture 96, prem used flashbacks many times in Meiyazhagan. Actually, the year 1996—when Arulmozhi and his family moved from their hometown to Channei—repeats itself in the movie as well. A family loses their last grasp on the land they call home at the beginning of the flashbacks, and later on, three more about bulls named Dhoni, cycles, and temples appear. And lastly, the one that connects the two guys via a shared early memory. You may refer to it as a "butterfly effect" or a modest act that could have a big influence. Meiyazhagan is evidence that your deeds may have a lasting effect, regardless of the circumstances.
Meiyazhagan is a movie where every shot genuinely captures the essence of beauty. Full of difficult-to-express emotions, karthi and arvind swamy masterfully lead the movie with their understated yet complex performances. While there is much flesh to devour, prem Kumar presents you with a well-crafted story, akin to how food is served on banana leaves in delta kalyanam Arulmozhi and during family get-togethers.
A MUST WATCH. RECOMMENDED.
