I do not really agree with the review of this movie. My review added below & represents a more generic view of the movie.
What could you expect from the makers of Azhagiya Theeye and Mozhi. A feel good entertainer. And you are not disappointed! The theme of the movie is simple. Raghu, an estate owner in Ooty lives with his small family. The story moves on to show how the father & daughter grow up!!
The movie flows smoothly with many funny moments & suddenly when you don’t expect, the ‘Interval’ appears. The movie moves so quickly in the first half. The second half does slow down a bit, might get crispier with a cut of 10-15 minutes. All the characters have been etched like a great sculpture and everybody has their moment in the movie. The dialogues are by Viji, nothing gets too repetitive nor goes over the top. Radha Mohan is like MS Dhoni, knows exactly all the resources under his disposal & uses them to the maximum advantage.
Prakash Raj does not really surprise us, we know his talent but he has given another opportunity to wonder what this man can do when given the right script. I really cannot imagine this is the same guy who is a premiere villain threatening all the modern day superstars and is surrounded by mafia glam girls.
Aishwarya plays the wife of Raghu, and does a neat job. Her expressions as a mature mother are quite credible. She must thank the director for offering her the role. So must the actor who plays the beggar turned caretaker. He makes most of the dialogues, be it comedy or initiating tear glands: very effective. The Punjabi bridegroom & his big family fit the role to the T. Even the smallest of the characters are etched well and stay in your mind.
The one glaring mismatch is Abhi herself (Trisha). The younger Abhi gets to speak more than the older one, the cute little girl had better expressions than Trisha. Prakash Raj is so effective & makes her look barely adequate whenever they are on screen together. Fortunately, she does not get to mouth too many important lines & saves herself from some embarrassment. It looks like an Aussie Vs Kenya match with a clear winner even before the first ball bowled.
Though Prithiviraj plays only a small role, the man has terrific screen presence. The movie is above par technically. Ooty looks beautiful through Preetha’s camera. Vairamuthu has yet again shown his mastery over the language and Vidyasagar’s music is soothing.
I regularly go to Hotel Saravana Bhavan for their filter coffee, I like the way the taste of the coffee lingers in the mouth. It’s been a few hours since I came out from the theatre but the face of Raghu still lingers.
Kudos to Duet movies & Radha Mohan; you should be proud of Abhiyum Naanum.
