They could bewilder even an Indian who is not a Tamil. The incidents, customs and mannerisms used are highly region-specific. Inspired by Romeo and Juliet, with feuding families and bitter enmity, “Paruthiveeran” relies a little too heavily on specificity to push a universal subject. And he is prepared to sacrifice lives for this.

Thevar will not allow his daughter to wed Paruthiveeran, which would shame the family and clan. We know that a Shakespearean tragedy awaits us.

Kazhuva Thevar (Ponvannan) places family and caste honor before his daughter Muthazhagu’s wishes. Sevvazhai (Saravanan) is Paruthiveeran’s uncle, who raised him after the death of his parents. Muthazhagu (Priyamani) adores him and has been in love with him since she was 8, when he rescued her from drowning in a well. The movie, which has done reasonable business in India since its theatrical release, opens with a long sequence at a village fair, where the characters are introduced with drums and drama: Paruthiveeran (Karthi) is a small-time crook, but one who is held in awe by the society because of his pluck and courage. Spinning a story of a love gone horribly wrong in a community whose people settle scores in bloody killings, the director lets prevailing customs and festivals form a backdrop to a powerful narrative. Inspired by a true incident in a still largely caste-driven countryside, Sultan uses a real village near the renowned temple town of Madurai in southern India and 60 non-professionals as a large part of the cast. The film became a commercial success at the box-office and also received critical acclaim.CHENNAI, India - Ameer Sultan’s Tamil-language “Paruthiveeran” (the literal translation in English would be “the brave man of Paruthi village”) traces a simple romance between a village virgin and a good hearted, but misguided hunk with a raw rusticity that becomes the high point of the film.
