Cast: Sara, Nasser, Luthfudeen Basha, Twaara Desai, Vidya, George, MalathiDirection: VijayGenre: DramaDuration: 2 hours
Synopsis: Tamizhselvi, a little girl, is the darling of the Kathiresan household. She is fond of her pet rooster Paapa, but her grandfather Kathiresan plans to offer Paapa as a sacrifice to their god in the interest of his large family. What happens when the rooster goes missing?
Movie Review: Like Karu Pazhaniappan's Pirivom Santhippom, Saivam is a celebration of the Chettinadu lifestyle. Nirav Shah's camera feasts on the magnificent architecture of the place while Vijay spins a simplistic tale in this backdrop that is both engaging and amusing. The family of Kathiresan (Nasser), a respected man in his village, has come from various parts of the globe for the local festival. Tamizhselvi ( Sara), Kathiresan's granddaughter, is an endearing presence in the family, and she is fond of her pet rooster, Paapa. After a minor accident, the family is told that they might have displeased their god and they believe that all their ill-luck (everyone comes with their own problem that needs to be solved) is because they failed to offer the rooster to the god as a sacrifice. Even as they decide to fulfill their vow, Paapa goes missing leaving the family in a tizzy.
Using a one-line that is perfect short film material, Vijay has created a two-hour-long feel-good film. The film is part humourous and part sentimental but never delves into melodrama.
