Review:
Bharathiraaja's latest offering 'Era Nilam' is focused on patriotism. His son Manoj has a good role in this. He acquits himself reasonably well, though failed in a few emotional scenes. The movie is completely taken in a village background. It is a typical Bharathiraaja movie with humanistic values and filled with emotions.
Coming to story, Chinnathayi (Suhasini) is a war widow living in a village with her two daughters-in-law, younger son Doraiswamy (Manoj), an old lady and grandchildren. Doraiswamy is a tough farmer who is proud of his two brothers who are in the army and their family. Swarnam (Nandita) is a village belle who falls in love with Doraiswamy. It is celebration time when the two brothers come home for leave, but the happiness is short lived as they are called back for the Kargil War. The two young women lose their husbands in the war and Chinnathayi is devastated. The responsibility of the entire family falls on Doraiswamy and the rest of the story is his about his fight against the anti-socials in the village including his brother-in law (Venkat) till he joins the army to serve the country.
Nandita was good to look at but her dubbed voice did not fit her. Venkat as the villain was impressive. Vadivelu's comedy was not at all impressive. Suhasini was over expressive. Music by Sirpi was the only saving grace of the film. Thenmozhi’s dialogues and Dhanapal’s camera deserve special mention.
