Kocchas younger sister Devi Trisha Krishnan has refused to marry Soori Pawan, the brother of Konda Reddy Ashish Vidyarthi, Kocchas Kadapa based business associate, as per Kocchas wishes. Irritated and preoccupied, neither Koccha nor his henchmen want to devote any time or attention to resolve Velus problem. Velu is ill treated and thrown out of Kocchas place without any help rendered. Determined to return to India only after his fathers issue is solved to his satisfaction, Velu conceals himself in Kocchas palace like residence. He soon finds out about a large diamond owned by Koccha and steals it, feeling that it would pay off his fathers debt, and returns to India with Ops. Devi also follows Velu to India, having fallen in love with him, when he saves her from falling from a tall building during New Years Eve. Knowing that Velu has stolen his diamond, Koccha and his gang visit Velus house and threaten his family with dire consequences unless Velu returns the diamond. After confronting Koccha, Velu comes to know that his father isnt dead, but is being held as bonded labour along with many innocent people at Kadapa.

He soon discovers a slave camp run by Koccha and Konda Reddy at the colliery, where a womanising rowdy named Kadapa Raja G. V. Sudhakar Naidu is torturing the inmates, including Singamuthu. He single handedly takes on Konda Reddy, Kadapa Raja and their henchmen, killing them all. He drags Konda Reddys dead body to Kocchas mansion. The wheelchair bound Koccha, on seeing the dead body of his associate, recovers and attempts to shoot Velu, only to be arrested at that moment by a special task force led by Raj Nassar. Singamuthu and the others who were imprisoned in the slave camp are finally freed and reunited with their families. ProductioneditIt was announced in 2. Udhayanidhi Stalin, son of M. K. Stalin and grandson of Tamil Nadu Chief minister M. Karunanidhi announced that he would produce films under his production banner Red Giant Movies. The film marks the comeback of Dharani and the announced project titled Kuruvi would more or less feature same cast and crew of directors previous film Ghilli. It was rumoured that Kuruvi was titled because lead hero was named as Guru V which proved false. Kuruvi or Pura is used as a code word for illegal immigrants. Vidya Balan and Nayanthara were first approached to be heroines of the film. Trisha was selected to pair with Vijay for fourth time. Vadivelu was initially approached for the film but he was replaced by Vivek. A stunt scene was picturised with Vijay taking on few men who belong to the African mafia in a huge bar cum disco set erected for this purpose. In Kuruvi, the director has used a chopper to shoot an entire song sequence to give it a feel of grandeur. Huge set was erected at MGR film city for major portion of the film. The team had even erected another set nearby in Sriperumbudur for shooting a song sequence, which features some models from Bangalore and Mumbai. Sadly, rain seems to have played spoilsport, which held up the shooting for two days  by the time the call sheet of the models ended. A fight was picturised at AVM Studios with a grand set resembling a bar. SoundtrackeditThe soundtrack is composed by Vidyasagar. Kuruvis audio launch was held at the Little Flower Convent on 1. April 2. 00. 8 in Chennai sans the usual fanfare despite the buzz surrounding the movie. The low key affair, held in the school for hearing and speech impaired, witnessed minimal star participation. As a novel attempt, the audio was Kuruvi released to senior journalists from renowned dailies like Daily Thanthi and The Hindu. Gangadaran from Daily Thanthi and S. R. Ashokkumar from The Hindu released the album to the students of the academy. Representatives from other media houses like Sun TV also participated in the event. Vijay and Sangeetha, Vikram, Vishal, Trisha, producer Udhayanithi and his wife, and director Dharani are the other celebrities spotted at the event. Behindwoods wrote Vidyasagar seems to have reinvented himself as a fairly noisy composer here The metallic twang that accompanies the songs is not too pleasant. Maybe the plot calls for such treatment, but you come away wondering whether Vidyasagar heartily relished doing this. Rediff wrote Vidyasagar music has sheen no soul. Millblog wrote Kuruvi is no Gilli, but does have its own quirky charm. The song Mozha Mozhannu created controversy because the name of freedom fighter Thillaiyadi Valliyamma was mentioned in the song. Track listingeditNo. Song. Singers. Lyricist.

If you go to see Kuruvi with lowered expectations, you may end up liking it. But those who are looking for big build up sequences and large Ghilli like payoffs  stay away. Sify wrote To give Dharani his due, Kuruvi is watchable in parts, for die hard fans of Vijay. For ordinary viewers, the film lacks a basic story and stretches ones patience for nearly three hours. Rediff wrote Kuruvis got everything to appeal to Vijay fans  but Dharani the director is lost in this melee of fist fights and elementary comedy. Indiaglitz wrote Kuruvi, a racy thriller loaded with romance and action, is a sure treat for Vijay fans. Hindu wrote Kuruvi tries its best to fly high, only that the effort isnt enough because earlier Ghilli had soared much higher. Of course, Dharani keeps up the momentum and things move fast to the midway point. NotelisteditIn Tamil, Kuruvi correctly means sparrow, but is also used as the trade jargon for low level contraband carriers. ReferenceseditExternal linksedit. Dukhtar Wikipedia. Dukhtar.

The Mara Pictures has acquired to release Dukhtar theatrically in the U. K. in April 2. 01. ReceptioneditCritical responseeditThe film received positive reviews from all over the world. Deborah Young of The Hollywood Reporter reviewed the film glowingly, The story has all the makings of a great against all odds adventure tale, abetted by spectacular location shooting and an outcome that is never a foregone conclusion. Afia Nathaniels feature directing debut generates enough tension to fuel a harrowing real life story while adding another unforgettable heroine to cinema from the region with Samiya Mumtazs measured portrayal of a Muslim woman taking charge of her life. Theodora Munroe of The Upcoming gave it five stars and said, Well acted and beautifully written, Dukhtar thrills and stirs. Writer Mohsin Hamid said, Dukhtar is a wonderful, impressive film. It shows how quickly Pakistani cinema is progressing. Samina Peerzada said of young actress Saleha Aref, The little girl in Dukhtar a star is born. Academy award winner director Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy said, Dukhtar has set a new precedent in filmmaking in Pakistan. The films powerful narrative is met with equally strong visuals that collectively showcase what Pakistani talent is all about. I have no doubt that the story will resonate with people locally and internationally. Actress Meesha Shafi praised the film, actress and director, Simple yet full of impact. Dukhtar highlights a subject that desperately needs attention. Sensitive yet spirited portrayal of Allah Rakkhi by Samia Mumtaz. The Pakistani landscape is shot with a beautiful eye. Afia Nathanial has arrived. Film producer Iram Parveen Bilal said, Dukhtar is a story told with visually striking images, sensitive characters and most importantly, with a heart. I wish it all my best for its Oscar submission. Maliha Rehman reviewed the film for Dawn newspaper, Dukhtar or daughter has a title that is self explanatory to a large extent. What the title does not relay, though, are the subtle nuances that flow through the storyline, the direction that seamlessly traverses the breathtaking landscape of Northern Pakistan all the way down to urban Lahore and the acting that holds it all together. All this, coupled with a heartrending storyline, makes Dukhtar well worth the watch. She also said, As a harbinger to the much touted Revival of Pakistani Cinema, Dukhtar highlights the strengths of the industry. A strong plot, coupled with fabulous music, some very good actors and watertight direction Dukhtar has no allusions towards Bollywood or Hollywood and it doesnt need to. With its highs and few lows, its stronger elements and faults, its a completely Pakistani story, told from a completely Pakistani perspective a story well told. Nicholas Bell of Ion Cinema reviewed the film, Samiya Mumtaz manages to be rather mesmerizing as a soft spoken wife that surprises herself with her own survival skills. Dushka H Saiyid reviewed the film for Youlin Magazine, From a country that is being swept by floods, and pushed towards anarchy, comes an indie film called Dukhtar, showcased at the International Toronto Film Festival. Making her debut with this creative offering, Afia Nathaniel has written, directed and produced Dukhtar. Like some of its recent predecessors, Khuda Kay Liye, Bol and Zinda Bhaag, it deals with a social issue. The underlying theme of this film is swara, a custom practiced in Pakistans northern areas, where a girl child is given away in marriage to settle a blood feud between families or tribes.
