Silanthi directed by former journalist Adhiraj is complete and is all set for release on March 28. It is an edge of the seat romantic thriller with Munna and Monica in the lead. Very rarely we come across movies that defy set sentiments and superstitions prevailing in Tamil film world. ‘Silanthi‘, directed by journalist Aadhiraj, seems to be one such film.

The title itself was deemed as an unfortunate thing in the industry circle. The reason behind the belief is that the hurdles faced by Sarath - Jyothika starrer ‘Pachaikili Muthucharam‘, which was initially named as ‘Silanthi‘. The title was considered as a doomed one and hence it was changed as ‘Pachaikili Muthucharam‘. It is a different story that the film went on to become a big failure despite the sentimental amendments.

Aadhiraj, however, has the courage to choose the ‘ill-fated’ title. Monica, who acted in Thankar Bachchan’s ‘Azhagi’, and Jayabaduri’s sister’s son Munna have teamed up for the movie.

Even the selection of Fauziya, a woman cinematographer, is against a sentiment. Fauziya, who worked in the movie ‘Uyir‘, was alleged by the producer with sluggish work that caused the delay of the movie. Aadhiraj was unperturbed by the sentiment and went with his choice. Subsequently, Fauziya has lived up to his expectation by helping the director to finish the movie within 60 days.

‘Silanthi‘ has thus defied twin sentiments by sticking to the title and cinematographer chosen by the director unmindful of what others think about both. The fact that the movie has been finished within very short span without any hiccup has proved the doomsayers wrong.

Let us hope the film would further disprove the sentiments by becoming a big hit.
