Achchamundu Achchamundu - Movie Review

Achchamundu Achchamundu is a thamizh movie that deals with a concept that has been rarely dealt with on the silver screen. The story of the movie is basically a one liner but the treatment of the topic is brilliant. The theme of the movie is Paedophilia. But the movie actually portrays much more than that. It also shows the lives of the Thamizh NRI family.
Prasanna, Sneha and John Shea are the main cast along with a sweet little kid.
The movie is the first Indian movie to be shot using the new Red One camera and one can immediately see the difference with the clarity being something that is really new. The HD quality is simply impeccable.
The background score of the movie by Karthik Raja is really of international standards. The background songs sung by the famous Carnatic singer Sowmya is very soothing to the ears and has some real good lyrics.
Coming back to the movie, the travails of the life of a Thamizh NRI family are well captured. For instance, Sneha compelling her daughter to talk in Thamizh, Prasanna's dream to own a nice big house with a big basement, the small fights over social drinking, the confusion over bringing up their child in American ways are some of the details the director has dealt with.
Ofcourse, John Shea, should also be given due acknowledgement for his role where he fits it aptly and he has done it with minimal dialogues and more with expressions.
The director, Arun Vaidyanathan, has done a really decent job in coming up with the movie both in terms of the script as well in direction (rather execution).
If you do miss it in theater try to watch it atleast on video as it is really something that we need to know about.
