Prabhu and Bhanupriya as Dhanushs affable parents were there to justify the movies star power and Rohini did her bit as Shrutis mother, with an emotional overtone. Sivakarthikeyan was a major strength for the first half and Sundar, who was earlier seen in Mayakkam Enna was given a more beefy role in the latter half and did a decent job at it. Only thing which annoyed everyone were her somewhat similar expressions for almost all the scenes and she only managed to cry like her father. She was in almost every frame and managed to justify her matured role. Shruti Haasan has managed to improve by far from her debut venture. The penchant emotions for his lady love throughout the movie and also as an incapacitated husband who wages a war against fate in the latter half, he delivered as always. The second half, on the contrary, was absolutely melodramatic and took an about turn and wobbled indefinitely before crash landing into the abyss.ĭhanush might get nominated for yet another national award, as it was another feather in his cap as he has delivered a dashing performance. Though cliched in every sense, the scenes in the first half were shot afresh and the chemistry between the lead pair of Dhanush and Shruti was dashing enough to say the least (no doubt they had the kollywood rumour mills spinning for a while now!!). There was also a suspense factor which managed to grip the viewers until the interval. The first half was engaging, where Dhanush along with Sivakarthikeyan provided some genuine laughs and the scenes were such that anyone can relate to their love life. Such was the hype and hoopla which surrounded it, thanks to the Kola Veri phenomenon which kick started it, followed by the coming together of the legends daughters - Aishwarya and Shruti Haasan with Dhanush pitching in to give the much needed star power.ģ refers to the 3 stages in the life of Dhanush and Shruti Haasan as a couple, right from their school days when it starts as a puppy love, tracking them until their post marital life where fate intervenes and spells havoc in their life.Ī warm welcome to Aishwarya Dhanush as a debut director, she has chosen a not so conventional script for her first maiden venture and has managed to partly execute it with elan. Nothing deterred me from booking tickets for the first day first show on a working day.
