Santosh Sivan’s Urumi is a miniature
masterpiece of moods, emotions, anxieties ruled by a thirst for revenge. The
film unfolds like a ballad and is a sweet and simple fairy tale. The 170 minutes
film works to a large extent to its perfect casting, fantastic performances,
soothing score and technical brilliance.
Santosh has made it like how a period drama
should be made without too much talk about freedom struggle, no bombastic
dialogues or playing to the gallery for heroism. His vision and concept gives
this epic the feel of a Brave Heart or Gladiator.
It provides us a new insight into the hearts and
minds of ancient heroes and shot in locations that reflect the period as
everything looks fresh, green and clean and one can feel even the mist. Another
major plus is that there are hardly any CG special effects that one would
associate with a period war film.
Shankar Ramakrishnan’s script is simple and
straightforward and keeps the narrative absorbing and inspiring. The film starts
in the present day with a modern don’t care youth Krishna Das (Prithviraj) and
his friend (Prabhu Deva) having a jolly good time. A big corporate offers
Krishna Das a bomb for his ancestral property in Kerala.
