Pazhani Tamil: பழனி is a 2008 Indian Tamil action film movie with Bharath in lead role. It is directed by Perarasu and produced by director Shakthi Chidambaram under the banner Cinema paradise. Srikanth Deva scores music. Bharath plays the role of a car driver. Kajal Aggarwal is the heroine and Kushboo plays Bharath's elder sister.

The film was formally launched on 10 June 2007 and was released on 14 January 2008 as a Pongal release. This is the first film release for Kajal Aggarwal in Tamil. It is dubbed into Telugu as Bhargava and in Hindi as Shaktishali Shiva. It is also remade into Oriya as Gud boy.[1] 'Yaarum Ennidam' is a popular love song from this film.

Plot

The film opens and ends with jail sequences. In both scenes the hero (Bharath) is seen behind the bars. The happenings from his release and his re-entry to the jail make the whole film. The hero, who comes out of the prison, puts his sister’s life on track through his heroics and goes back to the prison as a martyr.

The protagonist was put behind the bars when he was ten years old. He killed his father's "keep" who made his mother’s life a hell by exploiting her to cajole his ‘keep’. He went to jail and his father turned an aimless vagabond. The boy’s elder sister, who disowned him when he was sent to jail, grew up and got married to a businessman (Biju Menon).

The innocent girl (Kushboo) is living in a fool’s paradise, believing the man, who is actually an anti social element.

However, she need not worry about anything. The hero, who is now 25, has come out of the jail. He gets a job in his sister’s house without revealing his identity. He unearths the shady deals of his sister’s husband, reforms him and puts his sister’s life on track. Meanwhile he finds his lady love (Kajal Aggarwal).

Cast

Production

It was announced in 2007 that Bharath would collaborate with Perarasu.[2] The song sequence was shot at Prasad Studios with various chariots, more than fifty junior artists in colourful costumes and more than thousand other artists participated in this song. The song, "Yaarum Ennidam" was shot at places in Andhra Pradesh like Golkonda Fort. The song, "Innoru Murai", was shot at Binny Mills.[3]

Release

The satellite rights of the film were secured by Sun TV. The film was given a "U" certificate by the Indian Censor Board. The film faced problems before release as the producer failed to pay the debt.[4]

Review

The movie got moderate review. behindwoods.com gave 2.5/5 saying "Pazhani is not for an audience looking for something offbeat and inventive but for an audience craving for some old formulaic entertainment – loads of action thrown in with mother- sister sentiment".[5]
