If I can accommodate you in my ‘womb’ , can you not accommodate me in at least a dark ‘room’ in your house!
Once in a while, animals from the Zoo tend to visit people who brought them to this world!
Sample the above for quotes which deliberate on the contemporary trend of children refusing to take care of their parents who made them what they are now!
On the other side, sample this which places a tight slap on the cheeks of parents who send to send their children to Boarding Schools to pursue their over-ambitious goals and as a reciprocal gesture, their grown up children look out for Old Age Homes to admit their aged parents when they become old!
Devayani topping the cast tops in performance too coming up triumphs on the merit of her emotion packed performance!
Vijjith and Thenmozhi too have done their parts with understanding, reflecting the current trends.
Raj Kapoor (director turned actor) cuts a neat cameo. Ilavarasu as a matured cop exhibits maturity in his portrayal.
Niranjan (Vijjith) a Hindu and Lancy (Kanmani), a Christian, get married much against the wishes of their respective families. They have a female child and they face issues in fending for the child as both are gainfully employed.
They bring home Jyothi (Devayani) who is serving a Home for the aged after having lost her entire family, to take care of their child.
In course of time, a timeless bonding gets established between Jothi and Nila, the child.
Things move on a steady pace in linear fashion till Nila is believed to have been kidnapped.
Arumugham (Ilavarasu), a cop takes up the investigation process and how things draw to a dramatic close is the predictable rest.
The film packs a punch while offering a few lessons to parents belonging to the contemporary times who are over-ambitious, discounting priorities in life!
The character of the neighbor who scares both Jothi and Nila looks contrived and those portions lose fizz.
Himesh Bala ‘s dialogue is noteworthy.
A film that is worth its price of admission!
