Directed by C. Prem Kumar, Meiyazhagan tells the story of Arulmozhi Varman (Arvind Swami), who returns to his hometown of Thanjavur after 22 years to attend his cousin sister Bhuvana’s wedding. He unexpectedly encounters a lively relative (Karthi), leading to deep conversations that challenge his understanding of family and identity.
Prem Kumar strikes a balance between melancholy and warmth, creating an engaging narrative filled with relatable moments. The performances by Arvind Swami and Karthi are standout, with Swami portraying vulnerability and Karthi bringing charm. The film’s cinematography captures the quiet beauty of small-town life, complemented by a haunting score from Govind Vasantha.
While the pacing can feel slow and certain segments are drawn out, Meiyazhagan remains a heartfelt exploration of human connections and self-discovery, making it a compelling watch.
