Before seeing the Movie I had a little doubt in my mind on entertainment part since it is the story of periyar supported by DK and DMK.The Director Raja Sekaran has balanced the comedy part as well as story. EV Ramasamy’s Political life is dominated in this movie rather than personal life
I remember once DMK govt Made bifurcation of Road transport in Cuddalur District that was named by **Thandhai Periyar Transport Corporation.** Govt intention was that public should know about Priyar. But everywhere it was written short form by **TPTC.** With the result No one knew about Periyar .The purpose was defeated. Sometimes it is very difficult to reach the people with ambition/goal.
Director has reached almost to all especially Diravida kazaham party members if not all in Tamil Nadu. Sathiyaraj’s voice and action are of his own and usual style but he has given his best performence to be periyar and he expressed different emotions in different situation.For instances **in kasi temple he is eating left out food** from waste box and Hyderabd he is performing music for collecting money. **His patience while his father beating is enlightened** one and unforgetable ringing
*The actor for Anna role is best suited among all the actors**. Voice is also matched like of his original. Other Actors are as well suited for the role of Kamarajar, MGR and Karunanaithi with respect to appearance and voices.
The first heroin Jyothirmai in the role of Nagammai was very humble and many occasion was exposed **her innocence like in beliving her husband to remove thali/mangalyam** The Most interestingly **she advised other ladies to do so** . In Singapore she changed her dress in single lungi and a blouse as of local woman as Periyar wishes
Kusbhu in the Maniammai role also equally inspired all . When periayar had dinner with kusbhu in a lower caste house Kushbu was reluctant to eat food by smelling around.
It is amazing to watch the scene where in he suddenly hit her face and advised her **not to see the place but see the happiness of the people.*
At the end of the movie Karunanithi wished to give Govt salutation to pay respect to Periayer and was provoked by his secretary’s remarks about the protocol .He amgushly argued in stating that Mahatma Gandhi was not a minister and he was father of the nation, he was given govt respect, similarly **Periyar is the father of Tamil Nadu**.
He said he was proud of loosing his Govt if central govt would dismiss just for giving last respect to Periyar
These are selective phrases for boosting the image of Karunanithi and his govt.One can see at least once to opine of the movie
