| Hello,
I'm a regular visitor of Behindwoods.com
and 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.
Regards,
