Ajay comes to Kasi and decided to lead a fresh life as Mano after seeing the careless attitude of a small kid towards death. He then moves to Chennai and gets a home and helps all the people around him. His policy is to live for the day and not bother about the past or future.
He helps the small newspaper boys; he helps his house owners set up a mess etc. His neighbor Vidya, a reporter falls for him due to his jovial, playful and helpful nature. She confesses his love for him but he refuses. Later, due to a freak accident, Ajay is forced to take Vidya to the US for treatment.
There he revisits his past, his love marriage with Renu, an NRI girl. He was actually a doctor and he uses his contacts to get Vidya treated in his very same hospital. What leads to his present attitude and state, is told in the flashback that moves in parallel with the present. The significance of the title is also proved in the flashback scenes.
Hits
- Siddharth is perfect for the role of the cheerful NRI doctor. His costumes are awesome and he looks very handsome. He contrasts well during the emotional scenes
- The 2 heroines are very expressive and emotive in their own way. While Priya Anand is so slim and svelte with some terrific costumes, Nithya Menon is voluptuous and cute at the same time. Both act very well though; Nithya’s costumes don’t suit her huge frame.
- The film has high production values rivaling Hollywood films. The cinematography by Balasubramaniam is a major plus. The US locales are a real treat to the eye and the final Rio de Janeiro shots are a real dream.
- The songs by Sharreth are superb. Many hit songs and the opening song in particular "Rules Kidayadhu" shot at 1000 frames per second with awesome detailing is a huge highlight.
- The 2 friends Julie and Sambasivam play apt foils to the lead roles.
- Some of the love scenes and dialogs are enjoyable.
Misses
- The film drags in the second half, the emotional scenes in particular
VERDICT
A Manirathnam style romantic movie that is worth watching for the beautiful people, beautiful locales and the beautiful songs.
