For if this film doesn’t do well, not doubt one of the most memorable performances you’ll ever see would go down the drain. I can only pray that it doesn’t happen this time. Sometimes those films haven’t done well and if they indeed have done well it was overshadowed by a much bigger actor/film. Though he has had great performances to boast of before, I think he’s been quite unlucky when it comes his talent being recognized.

Harris Jayaraj – in his last collaboration with Menon belts out another hit soundtrack but it is the way he’s experimented with the background score which really stands out.Īnd now the best part of the movie – Surya. The dialogue is quite contemporary and urban (with the liberal use of English) – however I felt there was a voice-over overdose which was definitely not needed for each and every scene. Even the sequences in the US are quite refreshing in terms of the locations. The film actually spans a period of about 30 years and it is so rare to see how much careful thought has been put into the visual detailing of different periods – be it the actors’ costumes or the the surrounding props (vehicles, buildings, billboards etc.). And it just keeps getting better (for most part). After the initial wooing sequence between Krishnan and Malini I knew there was no way I am not going to like this one. The result is somewhat a self-indulgent effort which is just over 3 hours long but once I was sucked into the director’s vision and the actors’ performances I totally fell in love with it. Apart from including some action episodes for commercial reasons he never really strays from what he is trying to convey. Gautham’s film is uninhibitedly personal and absolutely honest. Needless to say, every major step Surya takes in his life is inspired by “how my dad would have done it”. I can’t say more about what happens from thereon because that would involve giving away major spoilers. We then move through Surya’s teenage years and college life following which he falls in love with Meghna (Sameera Reddy) and decides to pursue her to the US where she is studying. Surya recalls his mom Malini (Simran) telling him how his father “swept me off my feet” in college – through a wonderful flashback sequence. It’s only very recently I came to know that this was intended to be a personal tribute from Gautham Menon to his father.įollowing the death of his father Krishnan (Surya), Surya (Surya) – an army major currently on a rescue mission reminisces his whole life and the relationship he shared with his father who we get to know turns out to be his inspiration and support at every point in his life. Also, there were major changes in the casting of the female leads. In the first place this was announced out of the blue only after a couple of films (with the same combination) supposed to begin shooting got scrapped.
