Review
Elangovan (Thangar Bachan) is a school teacher in the
town Chidambaram. He lives with his wife Thenmozhi (Navya
Nair) and two children. He leads a blithe life by boozing
with his friends and wastes his time in gambling. Elangovan
is always reprimanded by his father (Pyramid Natrajan)
and his father-in-law (R.Sundarrajan). But Elangovan
never cares to change him and continue the same way...
One
night, he is being trapped by the police, for visiting
a night club. He explains his problem to the inspector.
The inspector advises him to go to Sabarimala and pray
Lord Ayyappa . He accepts the advice and undergoes fasting.
He visits the holy shrine much to the enchantment of
his family. But his return from Sabarimala was an utter
shock to the whole family. He continues his saintly
life without any family commitments. Some of the events
occurring after that ,disappoints him and he joins a
mutt.
In the mean time, Thenmozhi works hard to educate her
children and to lead a normal life . Elangovan returns
back realizing his recklessness and appologises to Thenmozhi.
Whether they reunite or not, forms the rest of the story?
The
whole credit for this movie goes to Navya Nair for her
mature performance in the movie. She gets a great applause
from the audience for her acting skills. Thangar as
a director has done his job perfectly well, but as an
actor he has disappointed the audience. Whether it is
romance or emotional sequences he looks normal. Sundarrajan
and Pyramid Natrajan have perfectly fitted in their
characters.
Ilayaraja, as usual has done his part outstandingly
but the songs are not so special for this movie. The
highlight for the movie is the background score. The
music adds strength to this emotional melodrama. The
other technicians in this movie are not notable.
Altogether, the movie is made to target the minds of
women without much of commercialism.
