An enjoyable movie. In spite of the wintry conditions at the cinema.
Cheran was once a mental case. But he is brutally frank about his past. And insists on relating it in his haunting stammer to his prospective brides. The twists in the story line are nice. Cheran’s good character shines through. Blind Pasupathy is another moral beacon. Although his blunt manner with his prospective in-laws was a little jarring. Finally Cheran gets to marry the first girl as she sees his true character, when he helps the girl who ditched him on his wedding day.
There are few persistant villains in the movie, whch is refreshing. The only baddies are a few guys on motorbikes who crash into a little girl, and tamely get a thrashing from blind Pasupathy. Another candidate is the evil scrap metal dealer who deals in stolen motorbikes.
Not much humour, except he part where the guy carries the gift-wrapped grinder up the stairs.
But I ask myself, would I let my daughter marry an ex mental case ? Doubtful.
But the movie was worth the lost sleep.
