Story: Lets deal with some emotions. Inspired by the movie "I am Sam", a bonding between a Mentally 5 Years old adult father and his 5 years old daughter. A battle between Law and a Mentally ill man to gain his parental rights. who will win? Full-length Drama, an Emotional game throughout the story.
Casting: The lead man in this movie is our Chiyaan Vikram, known best for his versatility in trying new roles in every movie. In this movie he plays Krishna a Mentally Retarded man (Grown up man with the mind of a five years old children). Somehow this was not his best performance. He did not give his best since this role he played would not convince the audience that he is retarded. There were a lot of repetitive act which looked artificial. Maybe Sean Penn's performance in "I am Sam" can be used as benchmark to judge. And there is Sara, who played Nila and Vikram's daughter in this movie. She is one adorable kid who will really hit bulls eye with her performance. Her cute gestures really worth watching. Humour were taken care by MS Baskar and Santhanam. Humour was not given that much of importance but it has a fleshy comedy scenes Santhanam and Anushka duo part. And we have 2 lead ladies in the movie, Anushka and Amala Paul. Anushka tried a de-glam role, she was so beautiful and homely in this movie. And she tried a very much different role from her earlier movies and can be said it was one of her best performance. While Amala Paul contributed for the turning point of the movie, a complete makeover from her earlier venture Mynaa. She displayed a protective woman's role very well. And then we have Naseer playing well-experienced and talented attorney opposing Anushka to ensure Krishna does not get the parental rights. Few supporting characters played by Black, Pandi, George, TM kumaran, Thyagarajan and lot more.
Screenplay: Song visualization of Viligalil oru vanavil were superb eventhough there is no significant reason for the song. They showed Anushka at her best beauty angles with High-Definition Slow-Mo effect. The movie was brought up in a very lengthy manner. The scenes involving Nila@Sara will fulfill your moments but most of the scenes were dragging for the first half. The second half moved in faster pace since it involves scenes of court trials to gain the parental rights. Maybe the argument between Anushka and Naseer at certain point was illogical but yet entertaining. Most of the scenes involves emotional rain pouring to our heart, maybe the best two scenes that might drown deep to your heart is the Children Story Telling and Climax scene. These 2 scenes might get your tears rolling down your cheeks.
Music: G.V. Prakaash did what he's best at. Of course Viligalil oru vaanavil hit the top in the chart, yet Kathai solle poren and Venillave were also good.
Plus Point: Climax scene and Sara as Nila's cute performance. Viligalil oru vanavil song picturisation. Basically the overall movie cinematography was great. Credit goes to Nirav Shah.
Minus Point: Maybe Vikram could have been more realistic with his role. Some might say it was good but it was not that convincing.
Verdict: This movie can be watched at cinema once for some boost in emotions and Sara the cute girl.
