This team actually seems to comprise only Ilaiyaraja and Balumahendra himself. The later is responsible for cinematography and editing too. The early morning sun rays beaming through the open window in a particular scene is proof enough of this man's calibre. There is not a grain of artificiality in any frame. Ilaiyaraja's BGM score needs no mention about it enhancing the emotional appeal of the scenes. It is nice to see the movie doing away with songs.
He plays an angry father, who eventually comes to regret his orthodox beliefs; his perception of caste and language differences are changed by his grandson and daughter-in-law.
Despite all the differences, the underlying love and pride between the father, son and grandson is brought out beautifully.
Master Karthick plays the bright and intelligent grandson, whose curiosity and earnestness will definitely make you smile. All the others too, have excelled in their respective roles.
There are no songs to mar the narration and the background score by Ilaiyaraaja remains inconspicuous, subtly bringing out the depth and intensity of the film, while enhancing the natural sounds of the singing birds and the flowing water.
Balu Mahendra is a master of cinematography and his love for shooting in natural light is evident throughout the film.
Director Balu Mahendra's Thalaimuraigal is a heartwarming tale of a grandfather coming to terms with his own conservative values and beliefs, while at the same time instilling in his grandson, a sense of pride and appreciation in his language and culture.
