‘Sarpatta Parambarai’ movie review: Packs a punch, but follows a predictable path
The Hindu
With the Arya-starrer, director Pa. Ranjith brings to life the vibrant boxing culture in ‘70s North Madras
There’s an inherent problem with the arc of sports-based films: its predictable nature. The protagonist shows a keen interest in a sport, but the road to success is filled with thorns. He/she overcomes all that with difficulty, and emerges victorious. This very staple formula is what most sporting dramas are constructed with. . Pa. Ranjith’s latest Tamil offering, Sarpatta Parambarai, is not too different. It has a protagonist (Kabilan, played by Arya) wanting to do well in boxing, but has several roadblocks. It’s Ranjith’s trademark flourishes that make this otherwise lengthy film worthwhile.
