Cast: Ajmal, Aparnaa Bajpai, Jegan, Devadarshini, Mahadevan, M S BhaskarDirection: Tha Prabhu Raja CholanGenre: DramaDuration: 2 hours 13 minutes
Synopsis: A young man returns to India from Paris hoping to bring together every one of his family members who were forced to leave their ancestral village due to his late father's betrayal. Will his good intentions be enough to win their acceptance?
Movie Review: Blame it on Subramaniapuram! Post that trendsetting film about life in the '80s, our Tamil filmmakers seem to have developed a fetish for that period. The sad thing is it remains just that — a fetish. Unlike Sasikumar, they don't seem to be invested in capturing the zeitgeist of that time beyond the bell bottoms and half saris and disco. Despite all his efforts at recreating '80s college life, the only element that screams period in Prabhu Raja Cholan's Karuppampatti is its creaky plot which is pure '80s melodrama done flippantly.
College student Manohar (Ajmal), who hails from Karuppampatti, hates his village and its people for their naivety and simplistic lifestyle. He hires drama actors to play his parents for his college event brusquely turning out his own parents. He is also insensitive to the love of his classmate Shanthi (Aparnaa), who gives him her own money (and jewellery) to meet his extravagance. After his mother's death, Manohar, who wants to go to Paris, plays a cruel trick on his family members and goes to France but his betrayal comes at a price.
