At age 16, he auditioned for a role in Nammavar (1994), but was rejected due to his short height. According to Sethupathi, he was a "below-average student right from school" and was neither interested in sports nor extra-curricular activities.
He attended the MGR Higher Secondary School in Kodambakkam and Little Angels Mat. He lived in Ennore located in North Chennai. However, by the time Dharmadurai retraces his steps trying to find Stella and Subhashini, much water has flowed under the bridge.Vijay Sethupathi was born and raised in Rajapalayam until he moved to Chennai in class six.
Pushed to the wall, the brothers plot a murderous revenge, but Dharmadurai, tipped off by the mother, escapes into a flashback mode - where we learn about his life in a medical college in Madurai and his two girl friends, played by Tamaannaah (as Subhashini) and Srushti Dange (as Stella). Read: Wagah review | A tottering script blanketed in hyperboleĭharmadurai has been scripted well and does away with melodrama which makes it appealing. He never loses an opportunity to shame his brothers in the village where they live, and where Dharmadurai had once practised medicine.
But Dharmadurai is a restless drunk, is not at peace with the world, having been wronged by his family that demolishes his dream of marrying a simple village girl, Anbuselvi (a fine piece of acting by Aishwarya Rajesh of the Kaaka Muttai fame).
But it is a film that has been scripted with subtlety and helmed without the melodramatic - which Tamil cinema is notoriously renowned for.Īnd helping the narrative have been some performances - with Radhika Sarathkumar as the protagonist, Dharmadurai’s (essayed by Vijay Sethupathi, a Ramasamy favourite) mother portraying a harried woman trying to keep together her large family of four sons, a couple of daughters-in-law and a little niece. Seenu Ramasamy’s Dharmadurai may appear too simplistic in today’s complex world of intrigue and perfidy, may even been lambasted for veering towards the coincidental.Even a trifle preachy in parts. Cast: Vijay Sethupathi, Tamannaah, Aishwarya Rajesh, Srushti Dange, Radhika Sarathkumar
