NEEDHIKKU PIN PAASAM review

Saando M.M.A.Chinnappa Devar’s Devar Films is behind the film Needhikku Pin Paasan, a film with Makkall Thilagam M.G.Ramachandhran and Abinaya Sarasvathi B.Saroja Devi in the lead roles. Others in the cast are Nadigavel M.R.Radha, S.V.Rungarao, M.N.Nambiar, S.A.Asogan, Saando M.M.A.Chinnappa Devar, S.M.Thirupathisamy, P.Kanaambaa, G.Sakunthala, Radha, Senthaamarai, Gemini Balu and P.K.Mohan.

MGR plays the talented advocate, Gopal. His elder brother Ramu, played by S.A.Asogan, is a state prosecutor and their father, Chandhrasekar – played by S.V.Rungarao – is a police inspector. Their mother, Sarasvathi is a medical doctor – played by P.Kanaamba. She has already picked out a bride for Gopal, the beautiful Prema – played by Radha while her husband, Chandhrasekar prefers that Gopal marries his niece Jaya – played by G.Sakunthala. Gopal, on the other hand, has fallen in love with a village lass, Gowri – played by B.Saroja Devi. Gopal has his hands full trying to convince first his father, then his mother that he does not want to marry the girl chosen for him, but he stops short of saying that he has already found his bride.

Then, events take a very dramatic turn and the result: Gopal is forced to make a decision that he does not quite like. To further complicate matters, Gowri’s murai maaman, Muthaiyan – played by M.N.Nambiar – is determined to marry Gowri. Just as matters seem to reach a palatable solution, a murder turns everything upside down once again. To find out more, watch this fascinating movie, Needhikku Pin Paasam.

Good acting performances from everyone make this film very enjoyable. Especially in the many tense dramatic scenes. Towering above everyone as usual is another gem of a performance from Nadigavel M.R.Radha.

Story and scripting is by Aaroor Dhaas, who has done well. Music by K.V.Mahadevan is good, with most of the songs very enjoyable.

Cinematography by N.S.Varma is excellent. Stunts by Shyaam Sunder are of average standard.

Produced by Saando M.M.A.Chinnappa Devar for Devar Films, Needhikku Pin Paasam is a good family entertainer.
