Subramaniyapuram - a Madurai movie

Subramaniapuram, a cool Madurai based tamil movie by the director M.Sasikumar.

Excellent portrayal of 1980's youth life in Madurai streets. Best part of the movie is going back of the 1980's time - a 1980 period film.

Characters with lot of hair, un-shaved, bell bottom pants, simple, no bikes, no gadgets, much reality, actuality. Felt like went back to the time of my childhood neighborhood Jaihindpuram - near Subramaniapuram!!

The director has to have lived in that area, or a deep observer - otherwise it is impossible to do this movie like this. Actor Jay looks like Vijay a little bit, and his mannerism reminded of Actor Vijay and Paruthiveeran.

Very minute details are also carefully observed and taken care. Aluminum paint bus, cycles, long collar shirts, checked shirts, big belt buttons, always-cigaratte-and-tea-youths, Theatre posters(meenatchiyil, jegathaavil..) etc., To be frank, I don't see much of a difference between this movie and what Madurai is now. Madurai has not changed at all!!!!

"Kangal Inandal" song is very melodious and sweet song to listen to.

Watch the Subramaniapuram video song
