Story :
Kathir (Karu Palaniappan) is a talented architect known for his creativity. His straight and direct attitude in life fetches him respect and contempt as well. But he lives a carefree life complete with wine and women.
Then Nandini (Meenakshi), an executive in a car showroom, enters his life and things change.
Kathir works out the architectural plan for Nandini’s office and impresses her with his work and attitude. Kathir sees shades of his mother in Nandini. Love blossoms between them but Kathir’s father warns him against trusting the girl. The father feels there could be another side to her character as she loves Kathir despite knowing the kind of life he led.
Kathir starts believing his father and starts behaving in a bizarre manner with Nandini. A twist takes place just before intermission and the rest of the movie deals with Kathir’s past and future.
Performances :
Palaniappan and Meenakshi fit into their roles perfectly. Like we have seen in Palaniappan’s earlier films, the heroine gets a meaty role and in this case, Meenakshi meets the challenge despite being known only for glamorous roles till now.
Palaniappan, as the caustic Kathir, is perfect but he is not convincing enough in emotional sequences.
Santhanam, as Kathir’s friend, provides some much-needed comic relief. But some of the humour can be embarassing for audiences. Bhaskar Shakthi deserves to be lauded for his sharp dialogues characterizing the protagonist.
Music :
Vidyasagar's music is not up to mark in the film.
Technology :
Cinematography by Ranbath Shetty is good and editing is smooth. Art direction by Rajeevan is nice.
Verdict : Its an bold attempt to view a man’s life
