Movie Review : Kooran
A retired Supreme Court lawyer living in the hills, Dharamaraj ( SA Chandrasekar) encounters a stray dog who leads him to the dead body of her puppy who seems to have been killed by a vehicle.
Moved by her plight, Dharamraj files a case against a local bigwigs son, Ranjit Sekar. When the case comes to court, thy r powerful Ranjit is, strongly defended by Nandagopal ( Balaji Sakthivel).
Soon, though he tries his best, Dharamraj is at his wits end to resolve the case and bring justice. What happens next?
Kooran is an unusual story and as such kudos to the team for thinking of a unique subject with a novel premise and a several social messages.
SA Chandrasekar puts in a sincere and convincing performance and the scenes with the dog ( who has performed well) are moving.
Though the court scenes leave much to be desired, the film manages to garner adequate interest of the viewer.
YG Mahendran as the judge does a neat job of it as does Balaji Sakthivel. Between the 3 of th them, the veteran actors manage to bring a gravitas to the proceedings even as the suspsense of what next is maintained by the screenplay.
Overall, a film with a novel concept and a good social message.
Rating 3/ 5
