The only people who sympathise with Dharmadurai are his mother Pandiyamma ( Raadhika) and his close friend Gopalaswamy ( Ganja Karuppu). The brothers lock him up partially dressed in an empty outhouse most of the time and thrash him whenever he tries to stand up to them. His antics are a constant source of embarrassment for his brothers and brother-in-law, who run a chit-fund business. Especially Yuvan Shankar Raja's haunting scores and Sukumar's visual quality too gels well with the movie.īut the film's biggest drawback is Vijay Sethupathi's college portions, which affects the charming flow of the movie and only reduces the tempo,which could have been written with perfection.Dharmadurai ( Vijay Sethupathi) is the village drunkard. Other than Vijay Sethupathi, Aishwarya Rajesh's emotional performance as a poor village girl, Raadhika's innocent yet caring village mother and bold yet independent Tamannaah are perfectly written that we are able to relate with them.įor a rural based film, Dharma Durai also shines in technical department. The actor however compensates his limitation with his amazing performance as an alcohol addict and how he comes out of it with the help of strong women.
#DHARMA DURAI TAMIL MOVIE REVIEW PLUS#
Vijay Sethupathi's biggest plus is acting prowess that he fits into any character but he must also concentrate on his physical transformation,especially the actor couldn't justify the college student with his bulked look. It's definitely not a path breaking film in Kollywood but has its moments, thanks to Vijay Sethupathi's towering performance and strong female characters including Raadhika, Tamannaah Bhatia and Aishwarya Rajesh.
