Review:

Definitely a good start by the debutante Nandhini JS.

She wanted to try an out and out light hearted movie and we should say has done it quiet well.

Arjun (Ajmal) - Lazy, Irresponsible, Unpunctual and Archana (Rupa Manjari) – who is totally the opposite in her attitude, unlike Arjun, work for an Ad agency run by Srinivas (Mouli). Arjun messes up an important client presentation, due to his carelessness. To win that particular client, Mouli plans to spend his own money and prove himself. Arjun, who is so, attached to Mouli’s family feels bad for his mess up and takes it up as a challenge along with Archana to iron out things. But as luck has it for him that the baby that was auditioned for the ad shoot falls sick and the ad agency is desperately in need of a cute baby. Arjun finds a kidnapped baby (which he comes to know later) and he keeps the baby at his house and Archana decides to help him. Arjun is in search of the baby’s real parents to get no objection signature in the agreement without which their client will not accept the project. Script is crafted out in such way that how these two opposite characters gel together to accomplish the task, which is narrated with full humor.

There isn’t much of scenes which explains the love between the both which could have added more interest to the script. There could have been few good shots which show the Ad shooting with baby instead of showing it in a laptop during the climax.

For Ajmal this is definitely a challenging role after his roles in Anjathey, TN 09 A L 4777 and one must say that he has managed it pretty well. Rupa Manjari’s voice though a bit loud and screechy, suits well for the role. The Director has definitely tried to bring the best out of both the actors and has succeeded in it. Mouli as usual performs his role with ease and brilliantly renders the much needed flavor to the role especially the sequences where he keeps forgetting names and ends up once forgetting his wife’s as well, are really rib ticklers. (Though this does not does help much to the script)

Mani Sharma has done a pretty decent job unlike his usual heavy beats and noise; he has managed to get his music gel well with the theme and feel of the script.

This is a kind of script that is very hard to explain and convince a producer unless it is backed by good dialogues and sound narration. On that front, Nandini deserves a big Kudos.

The entire movie is short with Red One camera, probably the third movie in Tamil after Achamundu Achamundu and Unnai Pol Oruvan. You would even find it difficult to make out if it has been shot by a Red One camera with some good lighting sense. Good work by Sudhir.

Total budget of this movie is said to be around Rs. 2.5 Crs. The director and the cinematographer have tried their best to make the visuals look rich and at the same time have done many things to reduce cost like the use of Red one camera.

Apparently, this would be the first movie to release digitally without converting into traditional films; a huge cost reducing factor!

Being a Gold medalist one would expect Nandhini to make films on much more serious and sensitive subjects. Hope we can look forward to them as well.

Nandhini, Hearty welcome to Kollywood and over to Bollywood (Yea, she is going to direct the same script in Hindi:-))

Verdict: A subject well delivered for “A” class audience
