So, aren't there any pitfalls? Is this Gautam Menon's beautiful, perfect classic? Hardly. Rathnavelu's camera is smooth at certain times gives a jerky feel at others, creating the impression that you're watching an intimate scene within a family - and both work.
Harris Jeyaraj's songs have already become chart-busters his background score gels well with the movie. Sometimes you wonder if this was once the heart-throb that acted in skimpy outfits with Surya himself - and you have to laud her for how well she's done her job. And Simran, as Malini, fits her role to the hilt. Sameera Reddy is buxom, full of life and creates a pang in your heart. Divya Spandana earns your respect with her sober demeanour. This one is clearly is magnum opus among the films he's done so far. In every instance, he's subtly altered his body language, the expression in his eyes, the indefinable something that marks the difference between a father and son - and even in the various stages of a son's life, he's managed to alter himself. But when he appears on screen as six-pack moulded Major, the whistles hit the roof. For those who thought a thirty-something could never go back to being a 17-year old, here's a newsflash: with his paltry moustache and perky enthusiasm, Surya's perfect.Īs a love-struck young man who falls flat on his face for Sameera Reddy, he's adorable. As a drug addict faced with life's greatest trials, he's marvellous. Years roll, and there appears Surya, their son - who moves through life, experiencing the same kind of love with Meghna (Sameera Reddy) - and Priya (Divya Spandana). The moment they set eyes on each other, they know that their fate is bound sealed.
Gautham Menon has crafted a moving story, calculated to describe in the minutest details the story of an ideal father: Krishnan is a merry, strong individual who sweeps Malini off her feet (the Mundhinam Parthene song sequence is a rollicking riot from the 70s, with even the old Spencer's Plaza painstakingly re-created digitally).
