There was a scene in Sivaji Ganesan’s Galatta Kalyanam (1968), as a matter of fact, a song sequence wherein the thespian will have to take care of a kid with no one to support! The sequence was soaked with emotions, yet, coupled with comedy too which had made watching that a pleasant experience!
Debutante filmmaker Ganesh K. Babu’s script and screenplay focuses fully on this angl!
Of course,me of a single man striving his best to bring up the child on his own while the child’s mother had parted ways for obvious reasons!
Blending emotions with humor is like walking on a rope on the sky and could prove to be a challenging venture, especially for a first time filmmaker!
But this fresher has dated to explore that arena boldly coming up with triumphs!
Of course, we have seen Kavin in a couple of films and his performance in those were just adequate!
But here, he is brilliant and has come up with an impressive show, so to say!
He scores well in the scenes where he emotes and manages the same score on the board in the light-hearted scenes as well, credit to the filmmaker for conceptualizing such ideas and to have translated them onto the big screen with tailor-made perfection!
Aparna Das manages to make her presence felt as the girl in distress after having mothered a child while being still at college!
These sequences have been handled with care by the director that the audience could only sympathize with the lead pair at college instead of hating them for having been in a hurry!
The best part of the characterization of Kevin as Manikandan is the way it has been shaped up a youth with weakness (lack of responsibility and lethargy!) which eventually stands out as the strength of the character carrying the proceedings satisfactorily!
Ganesh K. Babu’s knack of alternating emotions and humor demands special mention and he has achieved the task without going overboard in neither!
The second half slows down a bit owing to its predictability but is duly compensated by the presence and performance of Pradeep Anthony.
Jen Martin’s music is a value addition.
A worthwhile flick, a few scenes of which remind us of Will Smith’s In Pursuit of Happyness (2006).
