ItВ is a harsh, violent tale that possesses a rawness and authenticity that is at once both hard-hitting and captivating and stuns you into silence by the time it finishes its running time. ParuthiveeranВ is easily one of the best Tamil films in the last decade. But ParuthiveeranвЂ™s past catches up with him in a most unexpected wayвЂ¦ Paruthiveeran leaves from there threatening to kill Muthalagu if she is wed elsewhere. He approaches her father, who obviously is furious with him for even daring to ask for MuthalaguвЂ™s hand and that too in his house. Sevvalai convinces Paruthiveeran of MuthalaguвЂ™s love for him and Paruthiveeran too decides to marry her. The two families have been at loggerheads ever since. Her father, a caste fanatic, had broken off ties with his brother when he married a low caste woman, the daughter of the woman he worked for. As they grow up, Paruthiveeran (Karthi) and his uncle, Sevvalai (Saravanan), are small time thugs spending regular periods in jail while Muthalagu (Priyamani), a school going lass, obsessively pursues Paruthiveeran much to his irritation and especially to her fatherвЂ™s (Ponvannan) consternation. In childhood, the half-caste Paruthiveeran saves his cousin, the high caste Thevar girl, Muthalagu, after she falls into the well.
