Meiyazhagan trailer review: Karthi, Arvind Swami promise an emotional rollercoaster

The trailer for Meiyazhagan, an upcoming relationship drama starring Karthi and Arvind Swami, was released on Monday, and it promises a heart-wrenching tale of friendship and self-discovery. Directed by C Prem Kumar, best known for his 2018 hit 96, the film seems to offer another emotional journey—this time revolving around two male friends from very different worlds.

Sharing the trailer on social media, Karthi described the film as a "calm and soulful world." This sentiment is echoed in the 2-minute 44-second trailer, where Kamal Haasan's poignant voiceover sets the tone for the emotional depth the film is expected to deliver.

Meiyazhagan follows the story of two contrasting characters: Karthi plays a cheerful, innocent villager, while Arvind Swami portrays a city-dweller haunted by his past. The trailer hints at the core of the story—Arvind Swami’s character, hesitant and emotionally guarded, returns to his native village after many years to attend a wedding. This journey forces him to confront long-buried emotions and unresolved tensions. In stark contrast, Karthi’s character embodies warmth and simplicity, greeting life with unpretentious joy. His carefree nature gradually pulls Arvind Swami’s character out of his shell, setting the stage for emotional growth and reconciliation.

As their paths cross, the film delves into themes of friendship, vulnerability, and the power of innocence over fear. The wedding backdrop appears to be the setting where Arvind Swami’s character is forced to face his inner turmoil, likely leading to poignant revelations and heartfelt moments.

With its tear-jerking potential and strong performances, Meiyazhagan could become a memorable Tamil film. The film is set to hit theatres on September 27.
