Sivakarthikeyan Gives It His All
That is pretty much the case with some of the means Sudha Kongara falls back on to piece together the story of the anti-Hindi agitations of a bygone era. Be that as it may, Parasakthi is a watchable film mainly because the director and the lead actor work well in tandem and the evocative production design and the top- notch cinematography (by Ravi K. Chandran) enhance its texture and visual sheen. The near-perfect technical inputs help the film skirt around its many fumbles. Well, almost.(more)
