Payam - sensitive journey

I recently saw the Payanam team in Coimbatore during my visit to a Property and Realty fair. My BIL was in search of some good deals for flats and when we heard of this fair, we thought we will give it a try. When we reached the venue, we found very few people (it was a cricket match day..) and those few people were gathered before the whole of Payanam team (Prakashraj, Gopi, Deal a no dealaa guy , the heroine.. , manichuuuu guy.. all of them). They were talking about some thing and as usual we went on with our work. I heard that it was a good movie, but never had the chance till now to see it.

One word to describe about the movie.. Sincere. It is a very honest , sincere and from-the-heart movie describing the 360 facets of a hijack or kidnap. At times you might feel that it might be a documentary about a plane hijack that happened. But that is how a plane hijack episode will be. You cannot have a song and dance sequence or a heroic stunt in between. Every character, right from the film star, astrologer, Father, lonely wife, eager grandparents, Pakistani kid.. each one of them have equal weight-age and are an integral part of the screenplay.

The influence of the media, the reactions of the political people to take advantage of any situation, the honest Officers... all blend in well with the script. I dont know what else to say except for the fact that it is a must watch movie made with utmost honesty and more such movies should come in Tamizh.
