Vijay Sethupathi know to take up a few unconventional roles and driven his career in path thats often ignored - In Orange Mittai albeit he looks a tad healthier than a 55 year old ( I may be wrong here - a lot of village men are healthier than their urban counterparts) - Kailasam, short-tempered, egoistic man is played in an utmost nonchalantly manner - by Vijay . Kudos!!
the story of a father and son ( father of a different son & son of a different father) both looking for love, affection and respect is a great thought .Directed by Biju Viswanath ,Orange Mittai might not appeal to the so called 'mass' audience - The film is a close real-life experience, if the viewer has come across similar characters in their lives if not be one of them - Ramesh Thilak, has been equally good in a character sandwiched in emotions ranging from job frustrations, helplessness with his love interest - many scenes albeit not intended to be a comedy, will make you chuckle - like the one in the hospital, when the doctor speaks loudly to VijaySethupathi, after a long stare tells him politely that he is not deaf... is so true.
overall the movie is worth a praise - Biju has proved his excellence in cinematography that creates the mood and the narration - watch it !!
