Review

Radha Mohan, who previously directed Alzhagiya Theeye has again come up with a different script. He has narrated the story in his own style and certainly would find a place in the hearts of the Tamil women. Such type of sentiments is positioned in this movie.

Venu (Ravi Krishna), a hard working and energetic mechanic, also a generous person lives with his mother Ponni (Revathy) and his married sister (Devadarshini) He was the one and only person responsible for his sister’s marriage. He also has a good friend Kani (Gopika) who is a singer in an orchestra troop. Venu’s best friend is Guru (Prakash Raj). who is everything for him an adviser, mentor and what else; in a single word he can be described as a Godfather for Venu.

The only feeling in his life is the big scar on his left cheek. One day, while chatting, his friends gave him the idea of doing plastic surgery and to get rid of his unsightly face. So, immediately he meets the doctor and enquires about the operation. The doctor gives him assurance that 95% of the face can be changed to normal, but the cost drawn in for doing it is 1.5 lakhs which is beyond Venu’s capacity.

Then, he makes up his mind to start earning money for the process. He met his mentor Guru who adviced and gave him the idea of doing a part-time job. So, Venu joins Pizza Town as a delivery boy. In the process, he gets a crush over Priya (Sanjitha) who is his colleague. But he veils the face from her by wearing a mask. Everyday he impresses her by giving a rose. One day, Venu goes out to shop in the company of Kani. Unfortunately, he meets Priya in the complex. Priya got alarmed on seeing Venu’s face. Realising this Venu apologizes for hiding the face. Then he shifts his job as a night time sweeper.

In the course of accomplishment to earn money, he becomes very stringent and brings in hatred from his near and dear ones, including his mother. On a fateful day, his mother’s life comes to an end and regrets for all the actions he had done. Now, he understands the existence and drops the idea of doing the operation.

The good thing of this film is the dialogue penned by Viji, without any vulgarity, and all the pieces of dialogue formulate intelligence and good judgement. Prakash as usual, ended an easy victory all the way through his acting. Gopika’s reactions are unparalleled. To enlighten on the subject of Revathy’s acting, her performance is unparalleled to none Ravi Krishna, has utilized the role in an accurate and acceptable manner and has to still progress on his voice. Vidhyasagar has done a good job both in songs as well as recording. The entire recognition and acknowledgement goes to Radha Mohan who had guided this team, from the beginning to end, through a path of success.

The negative of this film is the stunt sequences, and the item number "Thachuko song" is not appealing to the movie The camera has not much to act upon, but still some catchy shots are missing in the film.

When all’s said and done, ”Ponniyin selvan” preserves the existence and is alleged as “An Inspirational Family Entertainer”
