Movie: Kazhagu Director: Sathyasiva Producer:  KK Sekhar Music: Yuvan Shankar Raja Cast: Krishna, Bindu Madhavi, Thambi Ramaih, Karnas Released Date: 16.03.2012 Language: Tamil The story is based on the real – life incidents shooting on the real suicide points of Kodaikanal, Theni and Munnar that depicts the life of people dwelling in the hill station in recovering bodies of suicide victims who jump off a cliff. Sera is an orphan with no emotions and a vagabond along with Karnas, Thambi Ramaiah and a mute guy live in Kodaikanal are the experts in searching for the dead bodies of people who jump from above 3000 feet from the suicide points and handling it over to the police for money. Once Sera recover the body of a girl whose sister is Kavi works in a tea factory is attracted towards the moron Sera. The twist of the story begins when Sera is entangled with the local big shot Jayaprakash, who smuggles tea from a rival factory with the help of the estate manager ending with a sanguinary climax. Krishna played a convincing role fitting in to the skin of the character proving his best and Bindhu with expressive eyes is perfect for the romantic scenes. Other casts such as Thambi Ramaiah, Karnas have also played well.  Cameraman Satya needs to be appreciated for his efficient camerawork in the misty night effect shots. Yuvan’s “PaathagathiKannupattu…” is soothing to the ears. Sathyasiva’s words “Yuvan Shankar Raja’s music would be the backbone of the movie. Krishna has given his best and this film would sure take him to heights.” The movie is a good mixture of all the commercial elements portraying the hard work of Sathyasiva and his team. Verdict- Good
