Impressed with Polladhavan then, I was desperate for Aadukalam's arrival.No wonder, I rushed to Innovative for FDFS.Within 15-20 minutes, I was literally cut off from Bangalore and transported to Madurai.Almost, the intensity in each scene went up and up and finally reached its peak in the pre-interval sequence, where I went into an extreme point of excitement with no words could summarize that.I came out of the hall dumbfounded;heading towards toilet I started replaying the rooster-fight scenes wondering how brilliantly those scenes were executed.
The Pre-Interval scenes forms the crux of the movie: They show the depth of the Ego-Clash and how it turns into a deep jealousy.The best part was, the entire ego-clash/generation-gap,down-deep-emotions between KARUPPU and PETTAIKAARAN were conveyed visually through the form of Rooster-Fight Sequences rather KARUPPU and PETTAIKARAN coming face-to-face in a single frame.The way the Pettaikaraan expressions change, when his ego takes a beating after the outcome of each rooster-fight, shows his stellar Performance! Those scenes easily takes the cake in one of the best scenes ever made in Indian Cinema History.
Its been 3 years after Aadukalam;but still, none of the movie thereafter failed to amaze me either in terms of making, content and performance-wise.Even in a DABBA theater like Innovative Multiplex, it was one of the best movie-experience in my life.When could I get that pure Cinematic-Magic again ?
Waiting for that-aadukalam-moment!!!
