Atharvaa
Murali's
Chandi
Veeran
movie
review
and
rating
is
here.
Continue
to
read
our
review
to
know
what
the
movie
has
to
offer
from
the
plot
to
its
technicalities.
Chandi
Veeran
Plot:
Two
villages
are
situated
next
to
each
other.
While
one
has
enough
water
even
for
recreational
purposes,
its
neighbouring
village
survives
on
contaminated
water
which
often
leads
to
death
and
adversity.
Chandi
Veeran
talks
about
the
basic
struggle
for
clean
water
and
the
film's
protagonist,
Atharvaa
fights
on
behalf
of
his
water
deprived
village.
Performances:
This
film's
main
attraction
is
its
lead
pair
Atharvaa
and
Anandhi
of
Kayal
fame.
Chandi
Veeran
largely
thrives
on
its
romantic
sequences
and
hence
most
of
the
credits
must
go
to
the
lead
pair.
Lal
and
Ashvin
Raja
are
convincing
enough
in
their
respective
roles
while
other
supporting
actors
have
delivered
realistic
performances,
which
you
expect
in
a
Sarkunam
film.
Technicalities:
Though
the
movie
takes
a
few
minutes
to
settle
down,
it
gets
interesting
as
it
approaches
the
interval
block
and
manages
to
keep
you
hooked
throughout
the
first
half.
Screenplay
in
the
second
half
lacks
the
punch
it
had
in
the
beginning
and
hence
gives
us
an
impression
that
the
film
could've
easily
been
lot
more
engrossing.
PG
Muthiah's
cinematography
deserves
a
special
mention.
While
it
is
easy
to
display
mundane
pictures
for
a
film
like
Chandi
Veeran,
he
has
managed
to
dish
out
sharp
images
which
acts
as
a
pleasant
surprise.
Background
score
by
the
Sabesh-Murali
duo
adds
value
to
the
film
by
elevating
the
tension
wherever
required.
They
have
also
managed
to
keep
it
subtle
in
the
melodramatic
portions
which
has
worked
out
well.
Overall
View:
With
a
good
plot,
Sarkunam
could've
made
Chandi
Veeran
a
must
watch
but
fails
to
do
so.
The
end
product
however,
is
a
decent
entertainer
with
an
appropriate
social
message.
Take
a
look
at
the
slides
below
for
some
interesting
information
pertaining
to
the
movie:
Chandi
Veeran
is
produced
by
well
known
director
Bala.
After
bankrolling
the
project,
Bala
then
sold
it
to
Sri
Green
Productions.
The
Lead
Pair
The
lead
pair
have
done
a
fantastic
job
in
this
film
as
mentioned
earlier.
The
movie
has
oodles
of
romantic
sequences.
Songs
All
the
songs
are
composed
by
SN
Arunagiri.
The
upcoming
music
director
has
dished
out
some
foot-tapping
beats
in
Chandi
Veeran.
Picturesque
Backdrop
The
film
has
managed
to
capture
the
nativity
of
a
small
village
which
acts
as
an
added
advantage.
Director's
Strength
Village
based
subjects
seems
to
be
director
Sarkunam's
forte.
He
found
success
in
his
first
two
films
namely
Kalavani
and
Vaagai
Sooda
Vaa,
but
failed
to
impress
through
Dhanush's
Naiyaandi,
which
was
city
based.
Early
Rumours
Initially
the
film
was
rumoured
to
be
titled
as
'Puzhudhi
Parakkum
Ooru'.
But
such
speculations
were
denied
by
the
makers.
Film's
Main
Antagonist
Lal
of Sandakozhi
fame
has
played
the
film's
main
antagonist
and
once
again
has
proved
his
mettle
as
an
actor.
Atharvaa's
Upcoming
Projects
Atharvaa's
upcoming
films
include
Eetti
opposite
Sri
Divya
and
Kanithan
opposite
Catherine
Tresa
of
Madras
fame.
Anandhi's
Upcoming
Films
Anandhi
has
a
number
of
films
lined
up
against
her
name.
Some
of
them
include
Visaranai,
Trisha
Illana
Nayanthara,
Faisal
and
Pandigai.
Box
Office
Success
Chandi
Veeran
should
have
a
decent
run
at
the
box
office
as
according
to
trade
analysts,
the
film
should
be
a
winner
at
B
and
C
centres.
In
Chennai
too
the
first
day
response
has
been
pretty
good.
