Vasanthabalan, who gave a powerful movie Veyil a few years ago, is back with Angadi Theru (the bazaar road). The movie has all the ingredients that one would associate with good movies. It has a realistic backdrop, adequate homework, strong storyline, an engaging screenplay and the artistes that could deliver what the director needs. So the movie is surely a winner despite the length and cinematic liberties mar the impact.
The way the director exposes the inhuman conditions prevailing in some of the huge business centers is astonishing. The portrayal of the plight of the workers and the cruelty of the employers may look exaggerated but it definitely underlines the hitherto unspoken conditions of these poor youngsters that flock to Chennai to find livelihood.
