The
latest “Kadal” sensation Bharath
falls head over heels in love with Renuka Menon at first
sight who has just flown in from United States for her
higher studies in Bangalore. She has this unshakable
allegiance to America way of life in her blood. At college
, she does a visual project work as part of her curriculum
which triggers protests and disapproval from other students
and professors alike.Terribly upset over this, she decides
to return to US .As a ploy to prevent her from taking
such a drastic step, Bharth sends an appreciation letter
to her under a bogus name Mr. X .
Renuka
falls for the letter and is temporarily stalled. She
longs to get to know this non-existent guy Mr. X She
goes overboard by the frequent exchange of letters indirectly
and is in mad love with X.Whether Barath spills the
beans or not forms the climax of the picture.
The whole Mr. X episode tends to be rather ridiculous.
For love’s sake , Bharath wriggles, shuffles his
feet, huffs and puffs in his futile bids to reveal his
true love for Renuka, which acts he has already demonstrated
in other movies. Seeing him in the same light irks a
bit. This is doubled by the homely face of Renuka Menon.,
ideal for channel soaps, Mr. Homisin, are you there?
Story
is old din, okay, atleast some logic could have sprinkled
in the screenplay.Nope! Certain locales and song picturisation
are indeed a treat to eyes, thanks to Lensman Rathinavelu.
Vadively is yet another wasted artiste in the movie.
Even bad-faring movies have carved better comedy out
of him .
Villany
is played by a classmate who lays his hands on Renuka’s
gift for X, a watch by freaky events and dons the cloak
of Mr. X and tries to steal her modesty. It sets our
hearts a-flutter a little.Adding spice to the picture,
a cartoon character epitomizing Bharath’s conscience,pops
in and out of his pocket puts a smile or two on your
lips.
It
is rather a let-down to see Renuka reading Bharath’s
love letter after 3 years. Tall Story, ain’t it
, Mr. Hosimin?
