Paruthiveeran Movie
Express News Service Paruthiveeran’s climax was not conceived during the scripting stage, but much earlier, when Sethu (1999) was released, in fact. Sasikumar and I were assistant directors back then and after a screening of Sethu in Madurai, we saw a woman come out, only to sit down on the ground and cry profusely. We were startled by how a film can affect the audience, and Sasi asked if we can come up with such a film. That’s when I narrated Paruthiveeran’s one-liner to him along with the climax.

I wanted the film to be better than Sethu and I’m glad it was. After the film was shot, I played it to Yuvan Shankar Raja for the music. He meddled with his phone in the first half at times and just said ‘okay ji’ during the intermission. But after the film ended, I couldn’t spot him.
After searching for him for a while, I saw him standing between a van and a wall, and he was crying. I’d never seen Yuvan in such an emotional state before and that told me that the climax worked.
Even before release, the film faced a couple of issues and I had to screen it for eight members from the Producers’ council. After watching the film, they were so shocked that they advised me to change the climax and even said they were ready to fund it. But I was adamant. Even Kalaignar Karunanidhi saw the film and scolded me, asking how he could sleep after seeing the film (smiles). On the day of the release, I was standing outside a theatre in Madurai when someone ran towards the canteen to get a soda because a woman had fainted after watching the climax. Seeing that, my friends joked about how my film was making everyone faint.
It was only later that I got to know that the woman who had fainted was my wife! (laughs) If you see the climax of Mounam Pesiyathey, the film appears to be heading toward a negative ending when Laila’s character comes in and changes it completely. In Paruthiveeran, inversely, we went with a negative ending despite the story seemingly leading to a positive climax. I believe that only a strong climax will make a film stand the test of time.
I had eight climaxes for Paruthiveeran actually. One of them was Veeran (Karthi) killing all the men who raped Muththazhagu (Priyamani), leading to him being jailed for life. I’d have connected that to a previous scene where he says to his uncle Chevvaazhai that he wishes to see the Madras Jail at least once before he dies.
I went with the original climax because only the audience will know why Veeran stages the killing of Muththazhagu in front of her father so that her dignity isn’t stained. This will remind the audience about a scene where he would’ve threatened her father that he’ll kill her violently if she decides to leave him. That’s why even in the final shot, you’ll see the car’s headlight focusing only on half of Veeran’s face; that’s to imply that this is not the real him. I was clear that I would show the rape scene in a dignified way unlike many films from the past.
STOP objectifying women.” On Sunday afternoon, Neeya Naana aired a different episode of the show, on the topic of real estate. 'When we have a problem with anything that propagates misogyny, it is important to oppose loudly. The Chennai Chapter of the Network of Women in Media in India (NWMI) is one of the groups that had approached Vijay TV regarding a poll on Twitter related to the show, and demanded a ticker to be run during the episode, clarifying that many people were opposed to the content of the show. And when you oppose, you will get an answer. Vijay tv neeya naana shows. The joint efforts of women journalists, women’s groups and people on social media has prompted Vijay TV to stop airing this episode,' Induja Ragunathan, a member of NWMI told TNM.
There is usually a template where the antagonist would rip the woman’s blouse and chase her across the room. What is actually silly is how the hero would be fighting the villain’s henchmen in the same room while the bad guy tries to rape the heroine. If you notice clearly, there won’t be a scene where the baddies actually touch the heroine. That’s why I went with a scene where the camera shows one panel of the door open when the first person does the horrendous act, while the other one is closed. When the next person goes in, the opened panel of the door closes and the other opens.
