I started watching Tamil movies in the late 80s and most of the movies were shot in a rural setting. There will be a Village head who gives judgment in Grama Panchayat and he will have a detractor ( an opposition leader ) . Most probably story will revolve around younger brother of the detractor ( a ladla ) being banished from the village .
Then, detractor will put the village headman in some kind of moral dilemma where his own (village head's ) son will be forced to move out or do something against the will of person in question. Too often , the village head and his son will be enacted by the same person .
Finally , a happy climax , where people lived happily ever after in that village. Some good songs , emotional tidbits mark these movies. Frankly , speaking I used to enjoy it.
Watching Mallikarjuna ( starring Ravichandran , Sada and Ashish Vidhyarthi ) took me back to those days and for the first time , i saw Kannada version of the village headmen story.
Film is Ok to watch , If you like movies shot in rural settings.
