After some time, when the same Charu comes to the Chennai office as the boss from the USA, Ram doesn't respond to her as he has been doing, when he goes to his Bangalore home on weekends. Charu also finds his behavior very weird and formal.
We wonder if there are 2 Amala Pauls in the movie. But, she is one and the same. We find out later that there are psychological strands to this tale. Delusions, as they say. Obsessive love is also touched upon.
Ram's past chronicles a very deep bonding with his mother. These portions showing the extent to which the mother goes, to take care of her son and the Kangal Neeye song are very touching
Whether Ram and Charu unite in the end or not is told with lot of shifts in the narrative. The structure is really non-linear and even confusing at times.
Atharva really has a solid future. He looks charming, trendy and handsome. His stunts are terrific. Has very expressive eyes that show a myriad of emotions. Just needs to improve his body language and remove the Vishal effect from his persona. Amala Paul is a seductress with her eyes and calm face. Another major highlight of the movie. She is decent in emoting and her dubbing voice is apt. Anupana Kumar as the mother is A-Rate. Santhanam's comedy falls flat, sadly. Jayaprakash impresses yet again as the doctor who advises Charu about Ram.
G.V.Prakash's songs are neat and popular already. But, too many songs pop up at frequent intervals. They spoil the flow. His BGM bits are shamelessly plagiarized at places. Here he has used one famous theme from 'A Beautiful Mind'. Sad that this youngster resorts to such practices while doing the BG score.
The stunts stand out quite oddly, though they are very well done by Atharva. His obsessive love is brought out through the stunts. No compromise has been done in the production. The product is rich though over-the-top at times.
VERDICT: Interesting most of the way. But, the premise could have been handled with more focus.
