Story-;
Jyotika’s Udanpirappe, which is also her 50th film, has nothing new to offer. It is a highly predictable rural drama about the bond between two siblings. This the kind of film we’ve seen a zillion time, but it still works thanks to th e writing and overall performances. This isn’t a film where Jyotika does all the heavy lifting; she lets other charac ters steal the limelight, but still manages to leave a strong impact. Udanpirappe is about the strained relationship between a brother and his sister. Sasikumar plays Vairavan, who is a violent person and is known for the way he handles every situation with his fists. Jyotika plays his sister Maathangi who is married to a law-abiding schoolt eacher, Sargunam (Samuthirakani). An incident changes the relationship between Vairavan and his brother-in-law Sargunam, who vows to never set foot in Vairavan’s house again. 15 years have passed since Maathangi has n’t been to her brother’s house and their strained relationship forms the core of the movie.
In terms of story, Udanpirappe feels like it’s stuck in the 1980s. There’s very little in terms of novelty when it co mes to the plot. Despite the daily soap hangover, the film manages to touch all the right chords and make for a decent viewing. One of the reasons why it stays engaging is because of the lead performances. Both Sasikumar and Jyotika play their parts to perfection to make scenes between them click. It’s refreshing to see Jyotika in a rural-based story and as Maathangi, a welcome departure from her usual on-screen self, she makes the char acte r largely memorable because of her performance. The conflict scenes between the characters of Sasikumar and Samuthirakani needed to be stronger as everything felt rushed. If only director Saravanan didn’t resort to using sexual assault as an excuse to make both the families reunite. Nevertheless, Udanpirappe has enough to make it a likeable family drama.

Movie Review -;
This is a potentially explosive saga of rural family bonding imagined on a panoramic scale with drama, spectacle and bloodshed , a la Thevar Magan.Alas, wishes in this case are not horses. They are not even mules.What could have been a nerve wracking drama is reduced drastically in scope by some clumsy scripting and amateurish dire ction. Era Saravanan’s Udanpirappe opens with rabbits crossing a muddy lane just as three young boys chase af ter each other shouting something about avenging, tit for tat and I-won’t-spare-you-even-if-you-run-all-the-w ay-till-Pudukkottai. You get the drift. Do the rabbits signify that this innocuous event will turn into something more sinister for these innocent children? Maybe, but it is not all that sinister either.Being her home production I expected Jyothika to carry the narrative burden on her able shoulders. Alas she is scarcely able to make her pr esence felt in a screenplay that drags down her histrionics to a whimper rather than soar to the expectant roar . Strangely she goes missing midway for a good 30 minutes as her screen brother M Sasikumar takes over what seems like a losing battle of sibling bonding.
To put it in simpler terms it is Kizhakku Cheemayile with a dash of Pasamalar without any of the former’s music and performances and nothing of the latter’s emotional sucker punch with the Sivaji-Savitri sibling duopoly. For the record, the film is a story of siblings Maathangi(Jyothika) and Vairavan(M Sasikumar) who separated at bir th….no , sorry , wrong formula. This separation happens in their adulthood with Maathangi trying her utmost to bring her ceaselessly sulking sibling and glowering husband(Samuthirakani, the only actor who tries to make palatable sense of the ‘feud’ on the cinematic table) together through matrimony…no, not her brother and hus band’s matrimony That would be way too revolutionary for a script that wallows in the status quo. Maathangi’s plan is to marry her daughter to her brother’s son. Cousin marriage , though fairly common in some areas of the South, is taboo in the North. Hence the film’s convulsive energy loses its massy propulsion on the script level. Unforgivably the film features lowbrow production values.And the supporting cast is played by actors gravely lacking in any screen presence.
They thought Jyotika was enough. Little did they know. Even for diehard fans of Jyothika this rumbustious rural rabble-rouser may prove a slog. Ever since her return to cinema, Jyotika has been keen to represent women ch aracters with more respect on screen, and also question misogynistic dialogues and traditions. While Sasikumar is wooden, Samuthirakani is robotic (the chemistry between him and Jyotika is more fraternal than what she and Sasikumar share). Sidhaarth KT, who plays Sasikumar’s son, Vivek, is bereft of any expression and could have been replaced with a statue. In fact, a line mouthed by Soori, who plays their man Friday Pakkadi, sums up his performance pretty much (‘I told you to smile and you’re able to smile only this much, imagine!). Nivedhithaa Sathish as Keerthana, Jyotika’s daughter, offers some respite. The actor manages to hold her own even if the scene is not about her.Her choice of films, from 36 Vayathinile to Magalir Mattum 2, Kaatrin Mozhi, Ponmagal Vandhal and others have reflected this desire. In Udanpirappe, too, the actor has tried to question patriarchal traditions like conducting puberty rituals for girls, ‘thaali’ sentiment and so on. True to the 2D stable, the film also has some anti-caste dialogues mouthed by Sasikumar.
This IS MY Personal Review So Please Go And Watch The Movie In Amazon Prime Video O T T Platform
