Object oriented programming with Ayutha Ezuthu

Sometimes, I compare screen-play formats with computer programming. So far we all would have seen top-down programming in our usual tamil films with some function calls for a flashback here and there. Sometimes you can see a function call within another function call like Badsha wherein there would be a flashback within another flashback. Mani Ratnam brought in a change in these kind of film programming in
Alaipayuthe using a lot of 'goto's to travel here and there between the main program and functions. Welcome to object oriented
programming with Ayutha Ezuthu and the introduction of classes.

The film contains three classes and the main program. The three classes are Inba (char Madhavan), Michael (char Surya) and Arjun (char
Siddharth).

class Inba {
/*This is the most powerful class of the program though (as per the programmer Mani himself) this was orginally not the core logic - it
was Michael. */

Private :
Inba is a baddie by profession. He would do anything for money. He is a very instinctive person and does whatever he thinks at that
moment. He will beat his wife sarasu like anything but his love for his wife will bring him back to his wife. Guna is his elder brother
who is also a baddie working under an Minister. Through the minister, Inba gets a gas agency and gets on with that business well.

Public :
But the minister actually uses Inba for his underground activities particularly to suppress his new enemies in the form of students. Inba
almost as heartless guy hits out at the students like anything. Later at the order of the minister shoots Michael at Napier bridge.

/*Madhavan as Inba is a professional baddie - one of the best he could have ever done. I would say that he bettered all his previous
performances so far. Meera Jasmine too has done excellently as his wife. Surprisingly she has shown some skin in this film. Mani has
fully utilized her though she is not too fleshy.*/

/*Once again Mani has told a story inside another story. (Meera Jasmine born in a middle class family should have loved Madhavan even
knowing that he is not maddie but a baddie. Then against her family's wishes she should have married him and lives with him with an
ambition to change him - but nothing is told in the film. It shud be understood - I did). A point to note here is that, Madhavan is the
villain in this film. If you expect anything good from his side you'll get disappointed.*/

/*Bharathiraja as the minister too has done exceptionally well. I would rather say there is a slight imitation of Kalaingar Karunanidhi.
Mani has to thank God as DMK is not in power. */
}

Class Michael {
/*This is the actual core of the program. As per the programmer, he actually started his core only with this class. */

Private :
Michael is a born genius. Still he is not a guy who is like a powerless first bencher. His role is a good powerful role. He is someone who is unmoved by the American scholarships and is one who wants to be in India and serve it till the last breath. His theory is that, it is the responsibilty of the educated to stand in the elections and save the country from the baddies. He is also in love with his neighbourhood girl.

Public :
Michael helps a village to stand up against the atrocities happening against them. He supports and makes one of those villagers to win in
the panchayat elections that too opposing the ruling party candidate. Thus gets the wrath of the minister and then by the orders of the
minister gets shot by madhavan at the Napier bridge.

/* Surya as Michael has also done well as a genius who is also good at other activities including fighting. Though Surya is the main role
he was not given enough time. Mani should have spent more time for Surya. Still there were many enjoyable scenes in this part. The love
scenes between Surya and Isha were a bit enjoyable. Isha as Surya's lover does not have much scope to act. She is not too sexy - goes just like a glamour doll.*/

class Arjun{

Private :
Arjun is today's guy who aspires to settle in US. He is utterly selfish and sometimes even shameless. He loves flirting with girls, going
on dates etc., etc., etc. He meets Mira at a discotheque and they flirt for some time. But Mira is someone who is engaged to a guy in
Sivakasi. Still she goes on dating with Arjun and even goes on to kiss him. For them, this seems to be just a time-pass till she leaves
to Sivakasi and he to US.

Public :
One fine day, Arjun proposes to Mira at the Napier Bridge and thats when Inba shoots Michael.

/*This pair presents the current ills with the younger generation. It shows how guys flirt shamelessly and how some of the present girls are ready for anything for fun. May that why it does not have an impact in the story. Though it has fair amount of truth in it, it didn't gel well with the actual story. */
}

void main() {

Arjun with the help of Mira saves Michael and admits him in a hospital. The entire gang of Michael thank Arjun (while Mira left to Sivakasi for marriage). But Inba beats up Arjun in the hospital itself. Seeing the huge student following of Michael and his great intentions, Arjun changes his mind and decides to stand up with Michael and serve the nation. At one instance, he will even decide to stand in the by-elections along with Michael and his 2 friends.
Break;

Inba's wife aborts her child voluntarily to punish Inba. Inba is terribly moved on that and he promises to live a good life with her. He agrees to leave the city with her and live a peaceful life.
Break;

Meanwhile, the minister orders Guna to kill his brother Inba so that they should escape from getting caught. All of a sudden, Inba was forced to kill Guna and he goes on to become the right hand for the minister. Saras leaves the city without Inba.
Break;

At the orders of the minister, Inba abducts all the 3 candidates other than Michael and tortures them. But Inba's friend releases them and due to that gets killed by the heartless Inba. When Inba goes in search of Arjun to captivate him again, Michael interrupts and stops Inba and defeats him.

Finally,Inba lands in jail. Michael, Arjun and the other 2 friends get elected and become MLAs.
The program ends says this is the beginning.

/* May be that, this ending does not give enough satisfaction for all as it is completely new to our public. Of course, we need to understand that only in films dramatical things can happen and in real life things can change only slowly. If our people understand that, films like these too will run successfully.*/
