Cast: Arjuna, Varsha Ashwathi, Priyanka, Ganja Karuppu, Thambi Ramiah, R Sundarrajan, Kalabhavan Mani.Direction: Samy.Genre: Drama.Duration: 1 hour 50 minutes.
Murugesan aka Kangaroo cares so deeply for his sister Azhagu, whom the local pimp Ticket is lusting after. And then, when the men Azhagu agrees to marry die one after the other in seemingly natural circumstances, questions arise. Who murdered them and to what end?
Movie Review: Kangaroo is about a man's excessive affection for his sister and given Samy's earlier track record with films that had incest as the theme (Uyir and Sindhu Samaveli), this one too could have turned into something similar, but this time, the director changes track just a bit and ensures that things stay well within the line of accepted social mores. Instead of an incestuous character, we get an extremely possessive one. The character of Kangaroo, at least initially, seems like that of the ruffian with a golden heart — a little bit of Paruthiveeran, Ayyanar from Samy's own Mirugam and Mayandi from En Rasavin Manasile (we even get a scene where Kangaroo eats like Rajkiran in that film). And there is an element of brute force even in the way he expresses his love for his sister — he breaks the TV set when he sees that she has cut her fingers while watching TV, he beats up Ticket and his accomplice who try to misbehave with her and he even makes her eat by blackmailing that he will cut his head off if she doesn't!
