Fans Review: Paradesi gets big thumbs up
Very rarely we see audience and critics having same verdict on a film. Especially, for a film with no stars in the cast and has a off-beat content, we hardly see getting thumbs up from all sections. Well, here is a movie, which has done a magic in 2013. Yes, Bala's Paradesi has taken the audience by storm.
The film was released with a lot of expectations. Though there was no big star in the cast, the brand Bala had made people to wait on their toes for the release of Paradesi. And the director has not disappointed them again. The filmmaker, whose last film Avan Ivan did not live up to his reputation, has not only won the hearts of critics now but also audience.
Story
of
The
Movie
In
a
small
hamlet
in
Salur,
resides
hundreds
of
happy
families
in
harmony,
hope
and
optimism
of
a
better
future.
One
among
them
is
Rasa
(Atharva),
who
lives
with
his
grandmother.
He
is
the
most
obedient
and
hard
working
male
in
the
locality
and
earns
a
livelihood
by
doing
household
chores
and
odd
jobs.
However,
his
grandmother
expects
him
to
search
for
employment
instead
of
begging
for
one
square
meal.
He leaves home in search of a job, only to return afterwards with an employment offer for everybody in his hamlet to work in a tea plantation. Excited by the promise of a decent wage and retirement from service after one year, hundreds of villagers go with their chins up and eyes filled with aspirations. But it doesn't take them too long to realise that a castle of dreams don't become reality. And reality is painful and traumatic. What happens to them and hundreds alike at the tea plantation? This forms the rest of the story.

Typical Bala tragedy of hopelessness, poverty, crime and unemployment in the working class of Tamil World. First half is racy. Second half is slow. Adharva is bland and inadequate in his role. Don't think he has any future as hero in Kollywood. GVP music is average & seems copied from other Bala films. The film may land in a controversy soon and protest from CSI for its anti-evangelist stance. Limited impact.

Bala's Paradesi is one of the truely epic movies in recent times...He has touched the subject of 'exploitism' with so much maturity and realism which I do not think any other director in India is capable of. Every shot is a poem in itself. What a performance of almost all the actors ! Atharvaa is simply superb... Vedhika even better. A Must watch. I will give all ***** Five stars !!!

The movie sucked big time. Boring as hell! Just another exploitation flick. Bala has made a mockery of a 'so called' true story.
