Karuppu Trailer Review: Suriya Returns In Explosive Style With Action, Swag And Powerful Justice Drama
Suriya is finally back in his masses of ways of the type of films that he has made famous to the masses with this new film called Karuppu. From action sequences to courtroom drama, emotionally charged scenes between the various parties involved in this case and action-packed sequences, this film appears to be an attempt to provide a full Commercial Entertainment film with a social message in the centre. Also, Ms Trisha Krishnan adds emotional depth to this story while the music score composed by Sri Sai Abhyankkar enhances the impact of this entire product.
Storyline
The movie begins with a heart wrenching court setting with an old man and a child who have to go to the courts repeatedly for the same case for long periods of time. Ms Trisha Krishnan will be playing the lawyer attempting to assist the old man and his granddaughter obtain their justice, while Mr RJ Balaji will represent the opposition who have used their power and intimidation to prevent these two individuals from obtaining their rights. Therefore, Mr Suriya, who appears to have no fear, has to intervene to assist these two people before they lose everything that they own, including their dignity, in their attempt to receive justice.
From what we can gather from the teaser is that Suriya is playing two different characters; Saravanan who is a non-violent legal representative, and a violent guardian who believes that he cannot count on the system or the judicial process to seek justice. Through his journey in this film, Saravanan deals with and comes to terms with the elements of corruption and manipulation as well as trauma throughout his search for justice and proving the actions that were corrupt, and how he becomes the advocate for everyone who has suffered no matter how they have been victimized through his own actions by using violence to get justice.
Positive Points
The trailer's strongest aspect is undoubtedly Suriya's on-screen presence. His attitude, the way he uses his body, and how he expresses himself make a powerful impact immediately. The action choreography in the trailer appears very raw and energetic, providing fans with 'mass hero' moments as they have been waiting to see.
Negative Points
Trisha Krishnan appears very believable as a woman who is determined to do well as an attorney, while RJ Balaji's villainous role creates tension in the narrative. The cinematography also appears to be stylish, while the score from Sai Abhyankkar enhances the drama of every single action sequence. The story being driven by themes relating to social justice mixed with the emotional aspect of the story also creates depth that would not normally exist in a standard commercial film.
Overall: The Karuppu trailer gives fans everything they could expect from a big Suriya film: action, emotion, style and strong dialouge. Suriya is back to being an absolute blast and if the screenplay keeps up this same level of energy throughout, then the film has a good chance of turning into a total mass action social drama. Overall, the trailer creates an enormous amount of interest and gives fans a lot of 'Goosebumps' moments.
