I had watched Subramaniapuram over this weekend and had only one question in my mind “why did I take such a long time to watch this fantastic movie despite great reviews”.
The movie has a great mix of friendship, love and betrayal. A film arriving with little hype or fanfare proves that if packaged neatly with a concise narration can sustain the interest of the audience. The story, set in the 80s is refreshing to watch and I was quite stunned with the screenplay.
The movie which is approx 140 minutes is definitely riveting with a lot of twists / turns and realism at its best. The movie which begins with suspense is brilliantly sustained till the end. The movie is on the edge and the curiosity level of what will happen next is well managed.
The stars of the movie is definitely worth mentioning – scintillating performance by Jay (hero), sasikumar (hero’s friend / director), ganja karupu and the heroin swathi. The song kangal irandal is a treat to the ears. Kudos, also, to the art director who has brought in the feel of the 80s in all the scenes.
Subramaniapuram is a great movie, however, this is not a film for romantic buffs as its got a tragic end.

True JD,
Subramaniapuram is truely one of its kind movie. Simple but for sure powerful. Other than reasons that you have projected, i feel the casting and music too did play their part in the success of the movie. The Protogonist Jai, the director choosing himself to be the loyal friend, Ganja Karuppu as the money loving person, the villian uncle, absolutely enthralled us on screen.
Appreciation to Sasi, for the fullest details that he has kept in mind, to get us a feel of 80's. To me Script is the absoulte hero whereas, screenplay was the boon to the hit. I thoroughly enjoyed it, though the gore and violence was too much to take towards the end. But it did justify the story...Kudos, Subramaniapuram team . JD keep blogging your movie reviews man.
