Films dealing with children and kid have an instant attraction. Who would not love to watch children performing on the big screen? Close on the heels of ‘Pasanga 2’ another children based film ‘Azhagu Kutti Chellam’ has released. This film has children and also new born kids in the lead roles. Antony, the producer and director of popular talk show ‘Neeya Nana’ steps into the big screen as the producer of this film. Let’s see what the film has in store.
The film is all about people from different backgrounds in need of a kids and what they do with two new born kids.
A group of eighth standard students
in a charity based Christian school win the opportunity to stage a drama
about Jesus Christ’s birth on the Christmas day celebrations of the
school. They are in search of a new-born kid to stage the drama. Among
these children Murugu is brought up by an orphanage run by Thambi
Ramiah. Parents of Jayan who pens the script for the drama, are heading
for divorce. Another child in this group belongs to the family of Sri
Lankan Tamils and his uncle and aunt who visit their home for holiday
have lost their kid to the ethnic war in Lanka. Karunas is an auto
driver who already has three girl daughters is desperate to have a son.
His wife gives birth to the fourth daughter and deserts the child
fearing her husband’s wrath. On the other hand Girisha is a teenage
Chess champion waiting for her boyfriend who has left to international
chess championship tours after impregnating her. She gives birth to a
son. Apart from these there is Vinodhini, a teacher in the school who is
yearning for a kid.
The film is all about how these
people from different backgrounds get connected by the two newborn
toddlers and how their lives changes after that.
The film does not have a lead actor
or actors as such and it is a story of a plethora of characters a few of
them are interrelated to each other in different ways. Such a storyline
itself is new or very rare in Tamil cinema and the debutante director
Charles should be appreciated for dealing a story with these many
characters and presenting them ample detailing of the background of each
character so that the audience can get connected to them
But this meant that the entire or
predominant part of first half be dedicated to the characters
establishment. The main plot starts only in the second half after the
two kids are born. And this half is more engaging and the emotional
content works out fairly well in this part of the film.
