1.5 / 5
I entered the theater expecting an emotional tearjerker dedicated to motherhood. But, at the end of this dreary and teary movie, I felt totally worn out ...
The characters in the film are all loud, dramatic and irritating. Thankar Bachan as Prasad loafs around as the aimless bum until the climax when he realizes his folly and repents. As he cries loudly, even the audience feels the same for having spent close to three hours in the hall.
The film has decent performances from Shanthanoo and Iniya. Azhagam Perumal continues to irritate with his artificial acting style. The movie's music is pretty neat while the locations are, as expected, rustic. The actress who has played the mother either cries aloud or overacts in the dramatic scenes. You don't feel like empathizing with this poor old mother.
Just as we expect a movie dedicated to the mother and her attempts at reaching her estranged son Annamalai using the cell phone, the majority of the movie shows how Annamalai deals with his work at the stone quarry. Two co-workers, Madhesh and Chitti Babu, are hell bent on bringing him down due to his sincere outlook to his job that naturally exposes their corrupt ways. Prasad is the typical timid 'jalra' with no voice of his own and he would do anything for money. He has a voluptuous and pretty hot wife who tries to mend him and his thieving ways.
The only notable aspect about the movie is the non-linear screenplay which excites some interest among the audience as they try to fathom what's going on with the time shifted narratives. But, the film just doesn't have any entertainment value and is just one extended mega serial.
Who wants to see people shout, cry and be melodramatic all through a movie!
