Pasanga!

Heaven!When did we last see children as protagonists in a Tamil movie?Here are 6 reasons why "Pasanga" is worth your summer hols' pocket money!

1.Children are always infectious.Be it the ambitious Anbarasu or the pseudo-villainous Jeeva Nithyanandham or the impish Kuttimani or the smiling Manonmani,the enthusiasm is gradually transferred to you.

2.The basic plot sounds like a short story taken from "Siruvar malar"(Two boys keep fighting and one day they are pals).But the director has added layers with meaningful lessons for parents.

3.Dialogues are simple yet strike a chord.Some scenes are riveting.(The whole family prodding Anbukarasu on in the race,Manonmani using the national anthem to end a fight between guys).

4.The cameraman Premkumar is a brilliant find.(The scene where Jeeva and friends go triples in the cycle is an example).

5."Oru Vetkam Varudhe"-James Vasanthan repeats the "Kangal Irandal" magic with more established singers(Naresh Iyer,Shreya Ghoshal).Good BGM too.

6.The above 5 reasons are strong enough I suppose.

I thought of posting the minuses of the film.But when "Pasanga" make a mistake,let us forgive and move on!

Overall, Pasanga-Juvenile Delight!
