A solid, serious movie which meanders towards the idiotic towards the
end.
Ajith plays a college heartthrob who doesn't even look towards the
drooling girls. But we soon learn he is is suffering from a terminal
illness - brain tumour. Richa, a practical joker in the same
college, spends several nights trying to come up with a plan to
win a bet by meeting Ajith and spending some time with him.
Realising that he has a soft corner for patients, she tells him
that she suffers from brain tumour. Ajith sympathises with her
and her positive attitude on life also brings about a change in
him. This sympathy soons blossoms into love.
Ajith's parents learn that Richa's condition is just a joke and
tell her about Ajith's real condition. But she decides to go ahead
and wed him.
Ajith is sternly against her begetting a child for fear that her
body might not be able to withstand it or that the child might be
born deformed. But she gets pregnant anyway and alongwith her
in-laws, hides it from Ajith. Ajith finally learns about her
pregnancy after the eighth month and this paves the way for a
melodramatic climax.
This is a really serious movie without any trace of a comedy
track. But the movie, which proceeds smoothly, completely derails
in the last half hour or so. Its a wonder how a wife, who lives
with her husband in the same house, can hide the fact that she's
pregnant from him! And the stupidity reaches its peak in the
climax when the wife runs out of the house and ends up in the middle
of a forest with no people around!!
Richa, the director's daughter, looks good in some angles and
emotes well while Ajith looks handsome and acts restrained. All
the seniors have done their roles well. Vidyasagar comes up with a
blockbuster soundtrack (again!). I love you...,
Nothing, Poovukkellaam... and Anbe Anbe...
are all chartbusters.
