Doing a simple yet longer role which will remain etched in the hearts of a million is what’s important. An actress need not necessarily choose roles with some extremely strong, hard-worker who is not given equality. What stood out in the film above all is the characters played by the leading ladies, especially Simran. This one is evidently a magnum opus among the films he’s done so far. In every instance, he’s subtly altered his body language, the expression in his eyes, the indefinable something that marks the difference between a father and son and even in the various stages of a son’s life, he’s managed to alter himself. But when he appears on screen as six-pack moulded Major, the whistles hit the roof. As a drug addict faced with life’s greatest trials, he’s marvellous. As a love-struck young man who falls flat on his face for Sameera Reddy, he’s adorable. For those who thought a thirty-something could never go back to being a 17-year old, here’s a newsflash: with his paltry moustache and perky enthusiasm, Surya’s perfect. Even as you appreciate the make-up and the body language that brings an old man to life, there’s a trim and fit Major Surya (Surya) in the Indian Army, who is part of a rescue mission. The beginning shots of a doddering Krishnan (Surya) at the far end of life, still eager to live his life, come with an expectant twist. A teenage boy, college student, charming lover, drug addict, commando, major, son’s dad these were the myriad number of demeanours done plausibly by Surya in this movie. His reactions are quite realistic in the emotional scenes where he hears the news of Meghna’s demise over the phone.
His acting talents are enormous which impresses the people to a great extent. Playing a dual role as two characters is not an easy task, yet Surya handles the role of a 17-year-old teenage boy and a 60-year-old major, Krishnan. He was understanding, gentle and an absolutely charming lover.
He never proved his “macho” ness to a woman, he never wanted to own her, and he only wanted to love her. He truly nailed his character from two different generations and three different life scenarios. Suriya does a double-action role as both the father and the son. Rarely do actors, even the good ones, get such scope and screen-space to play out every intricate detail. If Kamal Haasan had his Dasavatharam with oodles of make-up and a blast of Chaos Theory, then this can easily be called Surya’s Dasavatharam, minus a couple of incarnations, of course.
With a competent star cast of Suriya Sivakumar, Simran, Sameera Reddy and Ramya, Gautam Menon has not abandoned a single opportunity to mesmerize the audience.
SURYA SON OF KRISHNAN MOVIE MOVIE
And, this movie is one such beautifully weaved masterpiece. Gautam Menon’s stories are usually simple and sensible that do not glorify anyone or anything else but real love. But there are hardly any directors who emphasise on such impact roles, who genuinely direct storylines that do not discriminate roles according to one’s gender and Gautam Menon is one who’s truly capable to pull all those off. However, over the years it should have only improved but many actresses these days choose glamour to be noticed rather than “acting” and donning impactful roles. There was a period when cinema had actresses and actors share the limelight equally. The film can be categorised as a true piece of art, a classic which was destined to be cherished for decades in the hearts of the diverse audience. Running on the same wagon, Surya S/O Krishnan has been crafted beautifully, highlighting the love that bonds a father and son. Quite a number of movies have been made earlier that shows the way how parents should dote and inculcate deeds in their grownup children and the children’s debt to take care of those parents and respect them. The very moment where the movie got off the ground, the titles gives us the hint of beauteous, yet mesmerizingly profuse as the tale of the movie is going to be. Arousing music interflowing with an overwhelming sense of melancholia pulls us closer and deeper into the being of Surya S/O Krishnan.
