Katrathu Tamil Story

The film is showcased by the director to highlight the performance of Jeeva. Armed with a well written role of Prabhakar, a brilliant post-graduate in Tamil, the actor brings a primal mixture of beauty, love, affection, and savagery to his one-man act. The scene where he confronts a call centre employee, in the middle of the night on a deserted street and pours his scorn and frustration at the system, is brilliant. Prabhakar (Jeeva) is a Tamil teacher in a private school in west Mambalam area of Chennai, who leads a lonely life in a lodge. He is frustrated and even tries to commit suicide, in a system where knowing your mother tongue and teaching it is looked down upon by a society craving for material benefits and imbalance in pay structure. 10 years back, there were people who were getting Rs 2000 and Rs 20000, but today all that have changed as there are individuals working for IT companies drawing Rs 2 lakhs as salary, while the guy who gets Rs 2000 is still there trying to eke out a living! Prabhakar, for no fault of his is at the receiving end, terrorized by cops and on the run after killing a railway booking clerk in a fit of rage. He roams all around the country and joins some saadhus, high on pot and also grows his hair long and keeps a shaggy beard. Finally he wants to exorcise the devils within and at gun point kidnaps a television anchor (Karnas), who records his life story, where he confesses to killing 22 people in cold blood! In the flashback he reveals his past, his upbringing by a Tamil teacher (Azhagamperumal) and his childhood sweet heart Anandhi (Anjali) who later in his life becomes an obsession for him.

Katrathu Tamil Critics Review

filmibeat.com
Among films with routine genre, Katrathu Tamil is a movie with different storyline. In fact many in their mid thirties and forties face the same problem - financial instability. But what makes the film good is the way the director tells the story and portrays the characters in the movie. In the late 80's, English medium education was accessible only for the urban upper middle class people. Rural people were studying and are still studying only in Tamil Medium schools which don't even have the required facilities.
