Ashokism Award 2013... Soodhu Kavvum

It has to go to "Soodhu kavvum"..Black comedies are rare in Tamil films. Debutant director Nalan Kumarasamy had created a near perfect one in Soodhu kavvum. Nalan had given it the right amount of comedy, satire and thrill element to keep you on the seat edge and still laugh at the same time throughout the movie.The screenplay is brilliant and the story telling is something new for Tamil films. The Cast is again brilliant with Vijay Sethupathi taking the lead. With unconventional songs like 'kasu panam' and 'mama douser' and excellent background scores, Music director Santhosh Narayanan needs special mention.
Well done Nalan for giving us an unconventional entertainer.

"Moodar koodam" by debutant Naveen was another interesting attempt in black comedy.
