Debutant P V Ravi, a former associate of Lingusamy, has chosen
the much tried path of romance, relationships and family sentiments
in his uniquely titled venture Mahesh Saranya Mattrum Palar
produced by Cool Productions. Unfortunately, the film fails
to sustain the response elicited by the title in its content.

Mahesh’s
(Sakthi) family is a big, beautiful one with many relations
staying in perfect harmony with each other at Kumbakonam.
He is very fond of his younger sister Keerthana (Saranya
Mohan) with whom he shares an excellent rapport. Keerthana
is to be united in holy matrimony and the bridegroom
has been approved by all the members of the family.
However, Keerthana would give a nod to the marriage
only after her brother Mahesh approves of the bridegroom
and for this purpose Mahesh comes to Kumbakonam from
Chennai where he is studying.
Mahesh sees the bridegroom and gives his consent and
the marriage preparations are in full swing. Meanwhile
he starts narrating to Keerthana about how he accidentally
met Saranya (Kadhal Sandhya), a stage singer, and fell
in love with her. Slowly the entire family comes to
know of Mahesh’s love.
Twin weddings are fixed on the same day - one for Keerthana
and the other is for her bridegroom’s sister (Keerthi
Chawla). On the |

day of the marriage, Keerthi Chawla’s fiancé
runs away and the mantle unwittingly falls on Mahesh who is
asked to marry Keerthi but he refuses to do so. This has a
cascading effect on the wedding of Keerthana which is called
off. The climax deals with whether Mahesh’s love succeeds,
whether he gets married to Saranya or not and what happens
to Keerthana.
Director Ravi should have worked much harder in the scenes
which depict the relationship between the brother and sister.
The love sequence between the lead pair is very superficial,
namesake and do not make an impact at all. For Sakthi who
made his screen debut through Thottal Poo Malarum, has tried
to better his previous performance. Sandhya seems to be totally
forlorn. Comedy efforts by Santhanam fall flat. Music by Vidyasagar
is ordinary.
The director, in his attempt to do something new, has completely
lost track.
Verdict
- Mahesh, Saranya Mattrum Palar – one among
others
