Haridas Movie Review and Rating

Director GNR Kumaravelan's third film Haridas after 'Ninaithalae Inikkum' and 'Yuvan Yuvathi' has Kishore, Sneha and child artist Prithviraj Das in important roles. Pradeep Rawat plays the villain, while Soori, and Yugi Sethu chip in through key supporting roles.

Storyline :

The film's story revolves around the relationship between a father (Shivadas) and son (Hari Das).  Shivadas (played by Kishore) is a police officer, who has lost his wife and left his son Haridas (played by Prithviraj Das) under the care of his mother. Soon, after his mother's demise Shiva Das decides to look after his son on his own as the child is mentally challenged.

On the other hand, Shiva Das leads a team of police officers who are planning to hunt down a gangster Aadhi (Pradeep Rawat). Meanwhile, for finding a school for his son, Shiva Das takes some time off from the police department after which his colleague Ramesh takes charge of the team.

In the school, Shiva Das meets Aanantha Valli (Sneha) who takes care of his son. Aanantha Valli, finds Shiva Das as a disturbance in the beginning, but gets interested in him after seeing the care and affection he shares with his son. By the time when his son starts improving in his performance, Shivadas faces trouble from Aadhi's gang. What happens next forms the brisk second half.

Performers :

Kishore is the best among the lot. Audience have loved Kishore in roles like the one he played in Polladhavan and Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu, but in Haridas we get to see him in a role which demands commanding performance as a cop and subtle emotions as a father. And we must say the actor has excelled in both.

Soori is characterized as a jeep driver for Shivadas, who mistakenly identifies Sneha as his childhood love. Sequences where he attempts to propose and woo her, provides the much needed humor for the film. Senha and Yugi Sethu have played their role to perfection.

Director :

Though we have seen films based on father son relationship GNR Kumaravelan has done a brilliant script work with the mix of action at one end and emotion at the other. This keeps the audience engaged throughout the film.

Music :

The song Police Gaana and 'Annayin Karuvi' in Vijay Antony's music is entertaining. Apart this track, the composer has scored well for the film's background which sets the mood for emotional scenes and action sequences.

Cinematography :

Rathnavelu's cinematography has captured the emotions well. His camera work needs a special mention in the action sequences and in the song 'Annayin Karuvi'.

Verdict : Haridas is yet another budget movie which has surprised us with its content.

Rating : 5/5
