Beautifully written story. After Naduvula konjam pakkathe kanom a well written written screenplay with humour. All the four characters have shouldered screenplay to make the movie an edge of the seat thriller. <br/>Once a while these types of stories were written and it is unfortunate to see this movie in OTT platform. Interesting Interesting movie with interesting climax

உடன்பால் Review: ஒரு வீடு... சில கதாபாத்திரங்கள்... நேர்த்தியான ஆக்கம் தரும் நிறைவான அனுபவம்!

பொருளாதார ஆதிக்கச் சமூகத்தில் நசுக்கப்படும் உறவுகளையும், அதன் ‘பூமராங்க்’ ரியாக்‌ஷனையும் நகைச்சுவையுடன் சொல்வதுதான் ‘உடன்பால்’ படத்தின் ஒன்லைன்.

விநாயகத்திற்கு (சார்லி) பரமா (லிங்கா), பார்த்திபன் (தீனா) ஆகிய இரண்டு மகன்களும், கண்மணி (காயத்ரி) என்ற மகளும் உள்ளனர். இதில் இளையமகனான பார்த்திபன் பிரியாணி கடையும், மூத்த மகனான பரமா சிடி கடையும் நடத்துகின்றனர். பரமாவின் தொழில் கடும் நஷ்டத்தில் இருப்பதால் பொருளாதார ரீதியாக கடன் சுமையில் சிக்குகிறார். வீட்டை விற்றால் மட்டுமே கடனிலிருந்து தப்பிக்க முடியும் என்ற சூழலில், அப்பா விநாயகத்திடம் பரமா கோரிக்கை வைக்க, அது நிராகரிக்கப்படுகிறது. இறுதியில் அவர் வீட்டை விற்றாரா? கடனிலிருந்து தப்பித்ததாரா? என்ற வழக்கமான கேள்விகளைத் தாண்டி சிரிக்கவும், சிந்திக்கவும் வைக்கும் திருப்பங்களுடன், அழுத்தமான மெசேஜ் சொல்லும் படம்தான் ‘உடன்பால்’. டிசம்பர் 30-ம் தேதி ஆஹா ஓடிடி தளத்தில் படம் வெளியாகிறது.

ஒரே வீடு; ஆறேழு முக்கியமான கதாபாத்திரங்களை மட்டுமே வைத்து அயற்சியில்லாத சுவாரஸ்யமான கதையை உருவாக்கிட முடியும் என்பதை இப்படத்தின் மூலம் நிரூபித்திருக்கிறார் இயக்குநர் கார்த்திக் ஸ்ரீனிவாசன். படத்தின் ஆரம்பக் காட்சியில் தொடங்கி இறுதிவரை எந்த இடத்திலும் படத்திலிருந்து விலகாமல் பார்த்துகொள்ளும் நேர்த்தி கைகூடியிருப்பது படத்தின் பலம். அடுத்தடுத்த காட்சிகளில் புதுமையைச் சேர்த்து திணிப்பிலாத நகைச்சுவைக் காட்சிகளை கதையோடு இணைத்து எழுதியிருந்த விதம் ரசிக்க வைக்கிறது. குறிப்பாக படத்தின் களமான வீட்டில் இடம்பெற்றிருக்கும் உடைந்த கட்டிலும், நிற்க தடுமாறும் சோஃபாவும், கால்வாசி காணாமல் போன கடிகாரத்தின் ஓரமும், பெயின்ட் உதிர்ந்த சுவரும் கலை இயக்குநர் மாதவனின் உழைப்பை பேசுகிறது.

சின்ன சின்ன முகபாவனைகளாலும், டைமிங் காமெடிகளாலும், சீரியஸ் காட்சிகளில் தனக்கேயுண்டான உடல்மொழியாலும் ரசிக்கவும், சிரிக்கவும் வைக்கும் விவேக் பிரசன்னாவுக்கு இது முக்கியமான பாத்திரமும் படமும் கூட. நடுத்தர குடும்ப தந்தைக்கான உருவை வரித்து யதார்த்தமான நடிப்பில் வாழ்ந்திருக்கிறார். விநாயகம் கதாபாத்திரத்தில் அவரது தோற்றமும் அனுபவம் வாய்ந்த நடிப்பும் பளிச்சிடுகிறது. அண்ணன், தங்கையாக லிங்கா - காயத்ரி காமினேஷன் கச்சிதமாக பொருந்தி திரையை ஆக்கிரமித்திருக்கிறது. மொத்தப் படத்தையும் நகர்த்தி செல்வதில் இருவரிம் பங்கும் முக்கியமானது. லிங்கா பிரச்சினைகளை கையாளும் விதம், காயத்ரியின் போலியான அழுகை, முகபாவனை காட்சிகளை மெருகூட்டுகிறது. ‘நக்கலைட்ஸ்’ தனம் ஒருபுறம் தனக்காக கதாபாத்திரத்தில் ஸ்கோர் செய்கிறார். குழந்தை கதாபாத்திரங்களின் நடிப்பும் தேர்கிறது.

பரிணமிக்கும் உலகின் வேகத்தை பற்றி அப்டேட்டாக வேண்டியதன் அவசியம், சமூகப் பொருளாதார சூழலுக்குள் சிக்கி ஊசலாடும் உறவுகள், யதார்த்த கள நிலவரத்தை பிரதிபலிக்கும் தந்தை - மகன் - மகள் இடையிலான உறவுகள் என தான் பேச நினைப்பதை ப்ளாக் காமெடி பாணியில் பொருத்தியிருக்கிறார் இயக்குநர். பணத்தின் தேவையை யதார்த்திற்கு நெருக்கமாக முடிந்த அளவுக்கு தர்க்கப் பிழையில்லாம் சொல்லியிருக்கும் முயற்சியும், இறுதிக்காட்சியில் முகத்தில் அறையும் உண்மையும் அழுத்தம் கூட்டுகிறது. துருத்தாக காமெடியில் மல்லிகா என்ற கதாபாத்திரத்தை வைத்து ‘மல்லிகாவே ஒரு காம்ப்ளக்ஸ்தான்’ போன்ற வசனம் தவிர்க்கப்பட்டிருக்கலாம்.

படத்தின் பல இடங்களில் சிங்கிள் ஷாட்ஸ்களை பயன்படுத்தி நம்மை திரையிலிருந்து விலக்காமல் பார்த்துக் கொள்கிறார் ஒளிப்பதிவாளர் மதன் கிறிஸ்டோஃபர். அதிலும் ஒரே வீட்டில் பல்வேறு கோணங்களில் மாற்றி மாற்றி கேமரா கோணங்களை வைத்து, இறுதியாக மட்டும் லென்ஸுக்கு வெயிலை காட்டியிருக்கிறார். தேவையற்ற திணிக்கும் பாடல்களை தவிர்த்து, கதையோட்டத்துடன் கலந்து ஆங்காங்கே சுவாரஸ்யத்தையும், பதற்றத்தையும் தனது பின்னணி இசையில் செவ்வேனே கூட்டுகிறார் சக்தி பாலாஜி.

மொத்தத்தில் ‘உடன்பால்’ குறைந்த பட்ஜெட்டில் அளவான கதாபாத்திரங்களை வைத்து சுவாரஸ்யமான திரைக்கதை வழியே சொல்ல வரும் கருத்தை தடுமாற்றமில்லாமல் பதிய வைக்கும் படைப்பு.

படத்தின் ட்ரெய்லர் வீடியோ:

அன்பு வாசகர்களே....

இந்த ஊரடங்கு காலத்தில் வீட்டை விட்டு வெளியே வராமல் நமக்கு நாமே சமூக விலகல் ( Social Distancing) செய்து கொள்வோம். செய்தி ஊடகங்களின் வழியே உலகுடன் தொடர்பில் இருப்போம். பொதுவெளியில் இருந்து தனிமைப்படுத்திக் கொண்டு கரோனா பரவலைத் தடுப்பதில் நம் பங்கை முழுமையாக இந்த சமூகத்துக்கு அளிப்போம்.

Review: ‘Udanpaal’

Film: Udanpaal; Releasing on Aha Tamil Director: Karthik Seenivasan Cast: Linga, Gayathrie, Vivek Prasanna, Abarnathi, Charlie, Dheena, Mayilsami and others Music: Sakthi Balaji Cinematographer: Madhan Christopher Editor: G Madan

Rating: 3.5 stars

Director Karthik Seenivasan’s ‘Udanpaal’ is an exceptionally well made dark comedy drama that, while making us laugh, also makes us ponder about the deteriorating standards of individuals when it comes to morality, gratitude and love.

It might be a simple story but it is told with a lot of passion and conviction. Also, the story seems to be the outcome of careful observation of events happening around us everyday. As a result, it immediately strikes a chord with audiences and manages to catch their attention.

The story revolves around Vinayagam (Charlie), a man who lives with his son Paraman (Linga), daughter-in-law Prema (Abarnathi) and grandson Vigan (Master Dharshith Santhosh) in his self-earned property.

Paraman, who took over his father’s video shop business at a time when it was flourishing, hasn’t been in tune with the times and has ended up a loser. He is now neck-deep in debt and does not know how to get out of the quagmire that he finds himself in.

To pay off his debts and start afresh, he wants his dad to sell of the house they live in. However, he does not have the nerve to ask his dad himself.

So, under the pretext of conducting a ‘padayal’ function for his late mother, who passed away five years ago, he invites his younger sister Kanmani (Gayathrie Shankar) home and asks her to ask their father in his stead.

She agrees in the hope of getting a portion of the proceeds for her husband, Murali (Vivek Prasanna), to start a business.

Both brother and sister approach their dad with their request to sell off the house. However, Vinayakam is smart and sees through their game. He flatly refuses to sell the house and heads out to a complex that he visits often.

While Kanmani is disappointed with their dad’s decision, Paraman gets desperate as he has moneylenders knocking on his door and issuing warnings.

It is at this time that news breaks out that the complex that Vinayakam had gone to had collapsed and that all those in the complex at the time of its collapse were feared dead.

Initially, Paraman, his wife and his sister all get anxious about Vinayakam’s safety, hoping against hope that he is alright. There’s frenzy and anxiety all around.

However, all that changes the moment they get to know that the government has announced a compensation of Rs 20 lakhs to the families of all those killed in the collapse and Rs Two lakhs to the families of those injured. What happens then is what the film is all about…

The film has some fine performances coming from all its cast members including Charlie, Gayathrie, Vivek Prasanna, Linga, Abarnathi and Dheena but the performances of Gayathrie, Vivek Prasanna and Linga have to be rated higher than the others because of the difficulty levels of their roles.

Take Gayathrie’s character Kanmani for instance. She comes across as a caring daughter and a concerned wife controlling her loafer husband in one instant and in a flash, changes shades to become a selfish sibling and a scheming wife being controlled by a greedy husband the next instant.

Through the film, her character is so dynamic that it keeps changing shades once every few minutes. In one particular sequence, when their brother Parthiban (Dheena) points out to both Paraman and Kanmani that what they are doing is wrong, the way she weeps and shifts the blame solely onto her elder brother, is just phenomenal. Gayathrie is outstanding as she defines clearly the different shades of grey in her highly complex character.

Vivek Prasanna, who plays Gayathri’s husband Murali, has an equally difficult character to play. He plays an opportunistic loafer, for whom money comes first. He too comes up with a superb performance and in fact, steals the show on quite a few occasions. Thanks to his precision and presentation, the comedy scenes work well and make the film what it is. If Vivek Prasanna had got his timing wrong, the film could have well gone on to become a tragedy from being a dark comedy.

Linga as son Paraman delivers an admirable performance as well. Burdened by the responsibilities of being a son, a father and a husband, Paraman is desperate to find means and ways to provide for his family. While through the film he is shown as a person who is desperate for money and will do anything for it, there are those brief but precious moments in the film when his inherent good nature comes to the fore and Linga defines these moments quite clearly for the audience with his powerful performance.

For instance, there is a scene where he clutches the feet of his dad for couple of seconds before letting it go. Just that look at his dad conveys the gratitude and love he has for his dad.

Sakthi Balaji’s music and Madhan Christopher’s visuals are apt. Madan’s editing keeps the film sleek and slim and entertaining from start to finish.

On the whole, ‘Udanpaal’ is a good film that is worth a watch!

Udanpaal movie review, rating .

Udanpaal is one of the most anticipated direct OTT releases in Tamil. The Aha original film is written and directed by Karthik Seenivasan and bankrolled by the D Company banner. Karthik and AR Raghavendran has conceptualised the story of Udanpaal. With Editing by G Madan and cinematography by Madhan Christopher, Udanpaal has beautiful music scored by Sakthi Balaji. The BGM is what elevates movie scenes in the Aha Tamil original film.

Udanpaal cast: 

Linga, Gayathrie Shankar, Vivek Prasanna, Dheena, Abernathi, Dhanam and Charlie are seen in the star cast.

Udanpaal review: 

Udanpaal movie plot

Charlie owns a house, where he lives with his son Linga, daughter-in-law Prema and grandchild Vihaan. Linga is deep in debts as his business of renting porn CDs doesn't help him make ends meet. So, he decides to sell the house and solve the problem. To make that happen, he seeks the help of his sister Mani (Gayathrie) on his mother's death anniversary. The father is thrilled to see all his children together and remember his late wife. Little does he know the real reason behind the sudden love of his children for their deceased mother.

After the rituals, both Mani and her brother convince their father to dispose of the house so they can settle the debts and lead a happy life. However, Charlie sternly opposes the idea and says he can't think of pushing his family to live on the streets.

Charlie leaves in a huff, saying he is visiting the nearby complex. Within minutes, the son sees news of the complex collapse. The emotions run high and the children are a worried lot. However, the govt ex-gratia of 20lakh for families of victims raises their hopes of ending their misery. But what follows is a series of unexpected incidents which form the crux of the story. 

Technical work in Udanpaal

The entire movie has been shot in one location (inside a house). But never does one get bored of looking at the same canvas. That being the case, the spontaneity of the chemistry between the cast members only goes to show the kind of bonhomie and camaraderie that they shared after having shot in a single location for the entire movie. 

Lensman Madhan Christopher deserves some credit for his brilliant camera work. He has explored all possible angles to beat the monotony of shooting in the same location. 

Linga does a brilliant job of playing a dependent son. He matches Charlie in performance. Linga's wife too excels in her role and so do the actors who play Mani and Murali. The kids too do their bit in strongly projecting the elements of a middle-class family. 

Shakti Balaji's music breathes life into the scenes with comic BGM here and there that make the plot stand out. 

Even though the plot is not novel, the treatment of the movie makes Udanpaal worth watching. There have been a plethora of movies revolving around middle-class families. The greed of the middle class by taking whatever means to end their hardships with no regard to human emotions whatsoever has been beautifully highlighted and a lot can relate to the plot. 

Despite the fact that the movie is shot in one house, the way the characters have been designed and the compelling plot keeps the audience engaged and the movie is a breeze. 

Verdict: Udanpaal is an intriguing family drama worth watching.

The movie will start streaming on Aha Tamil from December 30, 2022.

Review by Chriznill ★★★ 3

Me throughout the movie- 😂 Last few minutes- 🥺😭 Definitely a worth watch. Thanks to one of my podcast listeners for suggesting this movie 🙏🏾

Review by DarthVader ★½

Core plot of this movie is straightly inspired from magali mattum nagesh scene but somehow Charlie's character was not that much good and well written arc. Overall, It's okayish movie.

Review by Srinivasan Muralidharan ★★★½

A Chaotic Dramedy film about human emotions like greed, morality & familial love that was excellently done with the help of minimal characters and for most of the duration in a single location. It's not easy to engage the viewers with this minimalistic approach, but director Karthik Seenivasan seems to have done a good job in bringing out the best of an interesting oneline with a pinch of hard hitting sadness at the end.

This film reminded me of all the chaotic comedies by Crazy Mohan, He might have enjoyed this film. Definitely one of my favourite tamil films of 2022.

Review by Premkumar Ethirajulu ★★★½ 2

A dark wit about how bankruptcy scratches human tie pinches us and eventually brings distress - A relief to see a contentful film with a perfect substance!

Udanpaal starts with mundane scenes depicting the livelihood of a lower-middle-class family unable to meet the ends. It gave me a strange sense that I didn't feel this to be a chamber drama till a certain point that it is mostly. Instead, I participated in the chaos and entered into the mind space of the characters. I didn't bother about the indoors for a long time.

Writer and director Karthik Seenivasan skillfully shot the scenes inside a confined space with highly believable conversations without giving a sense of monotony. Karthik has spilled out…

Review by Raja_04 ★½

Lengthy sequences that drags on for a really long time.. Final shot was the only decent thing in the whole film

Review by AkshaySG ★★★½

Nice and simple.

Review by Kalai ★★★½

Excellent performances from everyone especially Gayathri in this dark comedy. Tailormade for a great OTT watch!

Review by Ganesh ★★½

Intrigued by the trailer cut, I decided to give this a watch. With a good premise at heart and decent performances (except charle, nakkalites dhanam and vivek prasanna - who are perfect) - udanpaal takes its sweet time, almost an hour, to set up its premise. In the remaining 1 hour, it gets a little interesting, then the momentum severely drops, and again picks up in the last 15 mins. Despite such an unevenly paced and poorly written screenplay, the film somehow manages to deliver the emotional punch it wants to.

Thanks to the thoughtful nuances and every effort to make the story free of logical loopholes. The decision to go with no songs works positively for this movie. (dark)…

Good one liner but crappy execution in terms of every single department. Screenplay is not even tight enough to present it as a short film.

Udanpaal Review: Karthik Sreenivasan's film is not only a delightful laugh riot but also makes us mull over degenerating family relationships

Two siblings try to make use of their father's demise to clear up their financial burden

• P Sangeetha

Last Updated: 05.44 PM, Dec 29, 2022

Story: When a middle-aged man passes away, their grown-up children and their spouses try to turn the situation into their advantage and resolve the problems in their life

Review: A dark comedy set amid a family, that too, within the four walls of the house is something we haven't witnessed quite often. Udanpaal not only experiments with the same, but also comes out remarkably successful in the attempt. Kudos to debutant Karthik Sreenivasan's nuanced storytelling. The film is a perfect example to show that one doesn't need an elaborate set-up for a story - a good plot and interesting characters can pretty much do the trick.

Parama (Linga) is neck deep in debt as his CD shop business continues to take a hit as people move over to seeking content from the comfort of their phones. When his mother's fifth death anniversary arrives, he and his wife Prema (Abarnathi) invite his sister Kanmani (Gayathrie Shankar) and her husband Murali (Vivek Prasanna) home. Kanmani's family, too, is not financially well off and so is the youngest sibling Parthi (KPY Dheena), who runs a biriyani shop.

During the rituals, the siblings broach the subject of selling the house they are residing in, to their father Vinayagam (Charle). Vinayagam disapproves of the plan and later decides to pay a visit to a complex that he frequents on a regular basis. It's here that their destiny changes forever. The building collapses and the TV channels flash the news that the families of the fatal victims would be paid Rs 20 lakh as compensation. What follows is a rollercoaster ride as the siblings and their spouses draw a scheme to get hold of the lump sum.

The interesting part about Udanpaal is that every character in the film is completely flawed and they make no bones about the fact that their lives and themselves are a complete mess. In fact, when Parama looks at his sister Kanmani hoping that she might regret making the ruse to salvage their financial situation, she surprisingly takes the plunge immediately. It's funny how one incident segues into another effortlessly and the characters are always in for an unwelcome but hilarious surprise. It's not easy bringing out the laughs amid grim scenes after a crucial character passes away, but Udanpaal does so, and doesn't make it overwhelming at any given point of time. The actors have the audience eating out of their hands with their effortless acting, be it Charle, Linga, Gayathrie Shankar, Vivek Prasanna or Abarnathi. Gayathrie Shankar and Vivek Prasanna deserve a special mention for spicing up the scenes with their ideas and gestures.

Having said that the film is not all comedy and it also takes up the serious case of degenerating relationships in families where a parental figure ends up being used as a pawn and is eventually looked at only as a source of money.

Shakthi Balaji's music and Madan Christopher's cinematography have done a neat job of setting up the tone of the story in the limited space. The only glitch in this side-splitting droll is that Udanpaal begins to lag in the second half and some portions get so unnecessarily stretched that they tend to become repetitive after a point of time. Also, the film ends in a pretty abrupt manner, that too when you are least expecting it. Had the film been edited better and the screenplay made tighter, this would have made for a perfect weekend binge watch. It's rest assures that if this film had been released in theatres, it would have had the entire movie hall bursting into laughter.

Verdict: A frolicking comedy that makes for a perfect weekend watch

Review of Udanpaal Tamil Movie

A sibling as well as sister decide to use their dad’s fatality as a chance to settle down in life. Can they execute their strategy without any obstacle? You can watch Udanpaal Movie on aha ott.

Udanpaal Film Review: It’s rarely you get to see an unusual, cutting-edge family members dramatization. And, specifically when the film takes care of to function as a dark comedy, you can’t aid however buy it. Udan Paal, guided by debutant Karthik Sreenivasan, is a product of reliable composing that tells you exactly how to engage the audience with a handful of characters as well as their morbid activities. The movie revolves around a financially unstable siblings, that choose to utilize their father’s death as an opportunity to settle their life. Parama (Linga), the oldest bro in the family, welcomes her sis Kanmani (Gayathrie Shankar) and brother-in-law Murali (Vivek Prasanna) residence, mentioning their mommy’s fatality anniversary as a reason. However, it’s only after a couple of mins that we know their get-together was presented to force their aging dad Vinayagam (Charle) to sell the house they stay in for money. Though Vinayagam hesitates regarding this, his offspring learn that the property has problems which it will be difficult for them to create money by marketing it. Nonetheless, destiny has other prepare for them. One of the complexes, which Vinayagam gos to each day, broke down all of a sudden. The government introduces Rs. 20 lakh as settlement to the household of the deceased. Rather than stressing over their dad’s plight, Lingaa and also his sister Mani grab a debate regarding dividing the payment on a fair basis. Trouble begins when their father, whom they assume is no more, comes back house hale and healthy and balanced. Any additional details would jeopardise the customers’ experience, as there are numerous shocks in store. Though Karthik Seenivasan takes his time to establish the property, the circumstances that each character is placed in and also the tonal shifts that we reach witness are fairly interesting. The best component is that there are five major personalities in the movie, and all of them are flawed. Also before Parama tries to convey one of his dark suggestions to his sibling, she develops an additional one for self-seeking demands. In a way, it’s one-of-a-kind and damages the common formula that comes with a style similar to this. The writer does offer us some hints then as well as there on just how the occasions might unravel. Nevertheless, it’s still interesting as well as gets many things right. The only issue with the movie is that the narrative could have been a bit sharper and tighter, considering the number of characters included. We need some sort of persistence to get involved in their disorderly globe. Also, when it comes to the performances of the actors, we feel like they have set limitations for themselves on exactly how each of them must respond to a situation without any kind of overestimation. Linga, Vivek Prasanna, and Gayathrie Shankar have actually done exceptionally well as well as justified their roles. It’s certainly difficult to make people laugh during grim scenarios, but they have actually done their finest. Abarnathi plays Lingaa’s better half in the film, as well as her character is something to keep an eye out for. This is her sophomore movie, as well as she has actually revealed a great deal of maturity. KPY Dheena is introduced to us only in the 2nd half, and also, it’s fairly funny to see him join their game too. While Shakthi Balaji’s music helps to set the atmosphere, DOP Madhan Christopher supplies what’s needed.
