Check out what the movie is all about
Story
It is the story of a happy-go-lucky youngster Ganesan (Jithan Ramesh). He and his friends live their life their own way. Ganesan is a die-hard fan of T Rajendher. He is chided by his father (Jayaprakash) for his callous nature. Comes Sandhya (Sandhya), Ganesan's sister's friend, to stay in their house. Ganesan falls in love with her., He tries desperately to woo her. When is all set to express his love to her enters Valli (Suhasini), Ganesan's uncle's (Ilavarasu) daughter. Fearing that her father will get her married to a local goon (Bose Venkat), she decides to marry Ganesan. Coming to know about the situation in the family, Sandhya decides to sacrifice her love. But fate has other plans. Sandhya falls ill and Ganesan takes her to hospital. He is informed by the doctor (Prakashraj) that she is affected by cancer and that she is counting her days. Ganesan immediately marries her and comes home. An annoyed father drives him out of the house. All attempts to reunite with the family ends in vain. However a twist in the tale happens towards the climax and the movie ends a tear-jerker.
Analysis
The movie is a mix of humour and emotional elements. What begins on a lighter vein ends on a sombre note. Debutant director Thirumala Kishore has woven the script around just a couple of families. There are a quite few emotional scenes one would normally see in mega serials in the film. The fun Jithan Ramesh have with his friends in the first half is laugh-riot. But in the second half, everything turns topsy-turvy. There are many loose ends and the pace dips towards the latter part.
The twist in the tale towards the climax is surprising. At a time when masala movies are made, Super Good Films deserves a pat for making such movies that has a strong story.
Performance
Jithan Ramesh seems to shoulder the whole burden in the movie. He leaves his mark playing a callous youth. As usual he is impressive in dance sequences. He has given his best try on screen and it works in parts. Sanchitha Padukone has a meaty role to play. She comes all through, while Jayaprakash is the scene-stealer as Ramesh's father. He is cool, casual and impressive. Suri's comedy is good in parts. Bose Venkat plays a cameo while Ilavarasyu as a drunkard uncle is tailor made for the role. Prakshraj is wasted in a guest role.
Technicalities
The movie has M V Pannerselvam capturing lush green fields well. He varies the tone in first and second half to set the right momentum. Jayashankar's editing is ok while Chakri has composed a couple of hummable tunes. With Jithan Ramesh around, it seems to be a feast for choreographers. The dance sequences are set well and Ramesh is impressive.
Plus points
- Jithan Ramesh and Jayaprakash's performance
- Music by Chakri
Minus points
-- Cliched scenes
- Dragging second half
Box office predictions:
The movie may not have an bumper opening. But unlike other films of the day, it may attract womenfolk. There are enough elements in it attract women.
