<p>A L Vijay’s Deiva Thirumagan is like a soothing autumn breeze that sometimes blows away the blues. Inspired by Sean Penn’s 2001 movie I Am Sam, Vijay’s Deiva has plenty of mushy moments that simply melts your heart away. <br /><br />Getting into the skin of his tricky character Krishnan, an autistic with developmental disabilities, Vikram, given to experimentation, turns in a measured, method performance deserving all appreciation for his eclectic effort. <br /><br />Deiva, a doting dad with the mental age of a five-year-old has to slug it out in a court to win the custody of his daughter Neela. The father-daughter’s idyllic life is shattered when Deiva’s father-in-law cruelly snatches away Neela from her father. Undaunted, Deiva ropes in advocate Anuradha to win back his daughter. <br /><br />How the court room battle pans out forms the rest of the soulful and sentimental saga. <br />Deiva is a cinematographer’s delight with Nirav Shah capturing Ooty’s varied hues and beauty in all its pristine glory. Likewise, G V Prakash’s haunting background score provides exalted experience. Deiva Thirumagan, with A L Vijay of Madrasapattinam fame proving his mettle and supported by his glorious team, ensures it’s worth the ticket money. Given that films like Deiva come once in a blue moon, it is a not-to-be missed, must-see movie.<br /></p>
