Movie Review-;
Kiruthiga Udhayanidhi’s Paper Rocket tucks in a few surprises up its sleeve. Don’t be fooled by its ingenuous ti tle. While at the center of the seven-episode series is a bucket-list buddy adventure, the series packs in a thoug htful, and for the most part, politically-correct discourse on depression, death, and disability. and Elakya butt heads for evoking a few laughs pegged to his suicidal thoughts, it sticks out like a sore thumb.4As early as the fi rst episode, all eyes are on Jeeva, a 20-something mergers and acquisitions overachiever played by Kalidas Jay aram, and understandably so. His life in Chennai and his eye-watering apartment by the sea in ECR run like clo ckwork. And ironically enough, in a series that props up so much on the idea of time itself, Jeeva has no time for anyone else but work.
He even steals a Rolex watch from his doting single father the last time he visited him at Kanyakumari (the series is often crammed with lovely allegories of time). But when his dad suddenly passes on, grief overtakes Jeeva’s wo rld, and suddenly he finds himself with all the time in the world. But as one door closes, another door opens. And in Jeeva’s case, it is therapy. The Zee5 original series is presented by Rise East Entertainment and produced by Sr eenidhi Sagar. On the technical front, Richard M. Nathan is cranking the camera, Lawrence Kishore is handling the editing work. New characters soon enter Jeeva’s life in the form of a therapy group. Gouri Kishan plays Cha ru, a former swimmer and teenager full of life in a wheelchair (no points for representation there). A superb K Re nuka is breast cancer survivor Valliamma; Karunakaran is Tiger, a Nietzche-loving philosophist suffering from chronic depression .
Tanya Ravichandran is Elakya, a recluse with anger issues, and Nirmal Palazhi is Unni, a terminal patient with a “ticking time bomb” for a brain, in his own words. And thus follows a Rob Reiner-esque bucket list drama, whe rein these six strangers embark on a trip to tick off their wishlist. The bilingual drama series has very promising and talented star cast including Kalidas Jayaram, Tanya Ravichandran, Gouri G. Kishan, K. Renuka, Karunakaran, Nirmal Palazhi, Dr. Dheeraj, Nagineedu V., Chinni Jayanth, Kaali Venkat, Poornima Bhagyaraj, G.M. Kumar, Abh ishek and Priyadarshini.And thankfully for the list, the series takes us through the gorgeous hinterlands of Tiru nelveli, Marthandam, Karaikudi, and Megamalai with artful camerawork. Jeeva, who unwittingly takes charge of the trip (not without consent forms, of course), slowly takes in their problems.
If Valliamma wants to relive fond memories with her dead husband in her ancestral property, Charu wants to ta ke a dip in the Thamirabarani river with her grandad (played by an effortless GM Kumar). The music in the se ries is composed by Dharan Kumar whereas the background score is composed by Simon K. King. seven beautiful tr acks- Cheranaadu, Vaana Veetilae, Jo Jo Jo, Kandaen Kandaen, Oraayiram Jenmam, Oru kanni, Kaalai Maalai,a nd Iruvizhi have already been released so far and are loved by people. You can watch all the songs on the official YouTube channel of Think Music India. But not all such stories work, with Tiger’s arc being the weakest of them all. But to the maker’s defense, this is tricky territory. In a series that promises not to judge anyone for their me ntal state, a suicidal Tiger is obsessed with death. Oppression from a religious mom and chronic depression from loneliness turns Tiger on an existential journey.
What is the purpose of a life where people fight each other over their religion and caste, he asks in a scene. Un fortunately, the writing of the show– which is otherwise strengthened by sharp dialogues – lacks the weight to justify such lines. So, when Tiger The show is also at its best when it tries to unpack grief in different forms. Look out for the first episode when Valliamma bursts out into laughter when a visibly uncomfortable Jeeva learns ab out a death in the group. The show doesn’t put grief into boxes. Instead, it gently reminds us that it is an animal that takes different forms in different people. Kalidas steers and steals the show quite dexterously in Paper Ro cket, and so does Jeeva. But that is not always a good thing in a series that places importance on self-realization. And so Jeeva becomes a classic case of the savior complex.
He has a thoughtful line or two to make people’s problems vanish into thin air, quite successfully. So much so th at even the psychotherapist that brought the gang of misfits together, looks at him as the better fixer-upper. But one of the best arcs in the show is also in its most surprising one – Nirmal Palazhi’s Unni sets off to Madhavaram to have some casual tea with his childhood sweetheart. But there is just one problem–she is married to a hunky dude who lifts big weights at his doorway for leisure. This portion warms the heart with stories of forgotten ro mances, childhood friendships, and delicately written men.
