Karthi and Arvind Swami shoulder this spirited bromance drama
‘96’ filmmaker C. Prem Kumar gives us a thoughtful character study brought to life by some brilliant performances, and it’s a treat to watch the relationship between Arvind Swami and Karthi’s characters blossom into something gorgeous
While most filmmakers focus on the bigger aspects of their story to substantiate the so-called big-screen experience, C Prem Kumar belongs to a niche group of directors who like to concentrate on the finer, intimate moments of life. Probably because of his time spent behind the viewfinder as a cinematographer, Prem’s scenes look like animated still photographs, and just like his directorial debut 96, his sophomore outing Meiyazhagan is a series of moments in motion.
