Fans upbeat after Pakarnnaatam released in Chennai

Chennai man Vijay Victor’s  second movie , ‘Pakarnnattam’, was screened at 12.30 pm on Saturday 17, December 2011 in Chennai under ‘Indian Panorama Films’ at Woodlands as a part of the ‘Ninth Chennai International Film Festival’.

The film opens with a sad execution theory of a political party cadre Thomas, characterized with a perfect emotion giving & unseen ultimate facet of Jayaram. He does this role with his full heart as he is always very keen to perform greatly.

The story goes back to those days, where Thomas and Meera get attracted to each other. Thomas is an environmentalist and he also takes care of the rehabilitation of the deadly ‘Endosulfan’ victims. ‘Pakarnnattam'   thus starts with the shadow of a real environmental disaster.

Meera is well characterized by the award winning fashion designer and wife of the director, Sabitha Jayaraj.

Cutting across religion , Thomas accepts  Meera ,  there by  giving room for the audience to believe that , if  all goes well on his  side , then he would  marry Meera  and if all goes well  on her side , she would marry Thomas ! 

Contrary to this, Meera has to battle out her way due to stiff resistance from her home side. She decides to leave her home and meet Thomas. They finally arrive on a mutual acceptance for marriage. But on the proposed marriage day, fate derails when Thomas is asked by his party to take the blame of murdering an opponent political party worker. When Thomas pleads with his marriage proposal, the party leadership forces him to accept that the party is above all and assures him in taking care of his age old mother.

Thomas takes the blame and goes to jail. Meera’s love mission thus fails and she too gets another form of imprisonment, a traditional house arrest by her family elders in order to shift her thoughts away from Thomas.

Things worsen after some years when the trial ends and Thomas gets a negative judgment and his capital punishment day gets announced. Meera’s sincere love for Thomas makes her feel, what is real, always was and cannot be destroyed. She decides to fight for the release of Thomas. The director was able to close his eyes and create vivid images with great imagination, thus has justified his perfect social intelligence.

The locations shot were nice and Sinu Murukkumpuzha’s cinematography perfectly picturises director’s mind.

Meera finally tracks down Sudhi, who has actually committed the murder. The ‘Chennai Man’, Vijay Victor, plays the role as Sudhi. The movie takes a new turn after that.

In the acting side, Vijay victor looks extremely confident in theory and practice as both his personality and performance were made by the director to compete each other! Vijay Victor has given an additional appeal through his wonderful eyes to his interpretation. The way in which he is directed to walk in dhoti and shirt when pre-planned guys try to finally pick him up makes a nice appeal. In the initial frames of this scene, a determined Sudhi walks majestically like that of MGR in the song ‘Koduthathelaam koduthaan’ from the Tamil movie ‘Padakoti’!

During the launch speech at Woodlands in Chennai, Vijay Victor said he did not go for any acting courses and all he did was taught by the director himself!

In general, Pakarnnattam is the only one of its kind movie in which the director has directed the eyes of the characters. Thus with his swift screenplay, distinct dialogue and high-quality direction, Jayaraj makes us feel the inertia of his vision in our subconscious mind. This deserves high orbit acknowledgement and reserves exalted accolades, which are imminent.

Best wishes to the 'Pakarnnattam Team' from the fans of VV!

Never before attempted in Chennai

There’ll be blood

Rohit Panikker, TNN Sep 13, 2011, 12.34pm IST

An energetic and eclectic group of theatre artists from Chennai are all set to bring to life, the epic, timeless Spanish literary classic - Blood Wedding...

In 1933, Spanish author Federico Garcia Lorca staged his play Bodas de Sangre (Blood Wedding) in Madrid, thus setting a start to his iconic rural trilogy — three plays that explored the themes of death, individual needs against those of society, and women. Featuring female protagonists who wore shades of grace, strength, charm, hubris and vindictiveness, Garcia's Blood Wedding was a landmark piece of writing. Later, this piece of performance literature was adapted for the screen by Spanish filmmaker Carlos Saura who interpreted Lorca's work with flamenco choreography. Now, with a theatre group gearing up to stage Blood Wedding in Chennai, the significance of this work gets underscored.

Actor/director V Balakrishnan, who is putting together this musical in association with choreographers Vijay Victor and Swati Sadhwani, explains that though Chennai has never been a stranger to musicals, Blood Wedding will cut a niche of its own.

"Our theatrical show is a fusion of both Lorca's and Saura's versions of Bodas de Sangre. The dialogue and dance will coalesce into a single medium and narrate this enduring tale of love, lust, passions and consequences."

The organizers believe that with original music composed for the play and dances that are portrayed by characters who are crackling with sexual chemistry and repressed passions, Blood Wedding has all the makings of a great entertainer. 


"It talks about the concept of honour that existed in Spain at the time; the incorrigible lust for woman and property and how a man's honour was woven into his sense of ownership of the two is something an audience here would still be able to relate to; also extant is the concept of women being confined to the four walls of a house in the name of 'decency' and 'propriety'," explains the director.

Choreographer Vijay Victor says that a flamenco performance, in its entirety, has never before been attempted in the city. "We auditioned youngsters from different colleges as well as established theatre actors and working professionals. We began training from scratch. After months of training and rehearsals, we're ready with a flamenco showcase that'll whisk you away to early 20th century rural Spain, amidst a twisted love story and the feud between the characters Leonardo, the bride, the groom and the mother."

A tale that reeks of the earthiness of its people; shackled by their religious values yet unable to restrain their passions, the characters in this play are ruined by blood, and in a grand display of storytelling skills, the 'wedding' is coming to town!

'Train' experience

Vijay Victor reveals his 'Train' experience

A new name has joined the Mollywood circuit from Kollywood. This is Vijay Victor who was seen as a terrorist plotting bomb attacks in the recent release The Train. Sharing his thoughts, Vijay revealed that this was a dream start for him as he got to work with the likes of megastar Mammootty. He also added that the duo of Mammootty with director Jayaraj was a killer combination. Vijay stated that his role was more about expression and body language than dialogues.

It was an education

Talk about making an entrance with a bang; and that is exactly what 'Chennai Man' Vijay Victor has managed to do.

Making his debut as the negative lead against Mammootty in National Award-winning director Jayaraj's Malayalam feature The Train, Vijay has had an impressive launch and is looking forward to a good innings in the film industry.

"The entire experience was educational," reveals Vijay. "Working with Mammootty is one of the greatest things that has happened to me," he says, adding that getting to work with a killer combination like Mammootty and Jayaraj is a dream opening for any actor On his role in The Train, Vijay explains that he plays a terrorist plotting to bomb the Mumbai metro train line. "I didn't have many dialogues . In fact, I was expected to look distant and menacing, and it was all about my expression and body language," he says. "Jayaraj told me that my eyes were my greatest assets. Though initially I didn't get what he meant by that, it made sense as we began shooting," he explains.

To rehearse for his role, he went around Mumbai, doing a quick-round up of a few stations. "There were so many times I was stopped by cops because I wouldn't walk in through metal detectors . I would keep trying to find ways to creep inside," he explained. "I looked suspicious and even got whacked with a lathi by a cop once," he laughs.

Vijay will next be spotted in another Jayarajflick Pakarnnattam, a Dostoyevsky-esque tale of crime and guilt. Also on the cards is his role in Naan, where music director Vijay Antony makes his debut as an actor. "I play Vijay Antony's friend in the film," he says. "Actually, Naan was the first film I signed."

For someone who was initially not keen on getting into films, Vijay was approached for Naan when he was spotted on a television channel after winning the title of Chennai Man in 2009.

"A series of events later, here I am, three films down and raring to go for more!"

Looking for characters with depth

Vijay Victor, who made his debut as the negative lead in National-award winning director Jayaraj's Malayalam feature The Train will next be spotted in another Jayaraj flick Pakarnnattam, a Dostoyevsky-esque tale of crime and guilt.

Offering a sneak peek into his new projects, Vijay reveals more on the plot of Pakarnnattam. "I play Sudhi, a central character in the film; the other ones being essayed by Jayram and Sabitha Jayaraj," he explains. "The title of the film is taken from an ancient Indian technique of performance where one man takes over and plays the role originally enacted by another. In the story, Jayram's character takes the blame for a murder my character commits

Vijay says. He will also be seen in the Tamil film Naan, where music director Vijay Antony makes his debut as an actor. Vijay made his entry into films after having won the title of Chennai Man in 2009; and has already garnered a fair share of buzz around his performance in The Train. After having played negative characters in two out of his first three films, Vijay does not worry about being typecast.

You can't always expect to play positive characters," he says, adding that it is most important for an actor to take on characters with depth over protecting an image. This young debutante has been training in Latin ballroom dance styles like rumba, salsa, tango, jive and paso doble for over seven years.

 "I love to dance," he says. "Though I have been training in Bollywood style and hip-hop for my movies, Latin dances will always be dearest to me," the actor beams.
