{mosimage}Just now I finished seeing all the 20 episodes of "Sorna Regai" from the old Raj TV's "Marmadesam" series at a single stretch (took about 6 hours). It is really a short and spooky series as usual by Indra Sounderrajan, who is a specialist in superstition / sprituality based thrillers. In this series Indra had taken the 'palmistry' as a backdrop and topping it up with a dacoitry and conspiracies. Surprisingly only in the last episode I noticed that it was directed by CJ Baskar, not by Naga. However the style of lighting, shot composing had so much of Naga's influence. The cinematography by Sakthi Saravanan deserves a special mention. The performances by the lead - 'Poovilangu' Mohan, 'Thalaivasal' Vijay, Suresh Chakravarthy, 'Delhi' Ganesh and Mahima were a class apart. The story drags a bit in the middle with Anwar's flashback episodes throwing spanner in the otherwise sonic speed story, but regains its pace towards the end. By the time I am writing is 12:30 a.m and I an going to sleep tonite with lights on..
