Meenakshi Sundareshwar

A newly wed south Indian couple is forced to carry on a long distance relationship as hubby has to move from orthodox temple town Madurai to a happening, modern cyber city Bengaluru. The sweet nothings through the lap top does not help to keep the relationship live. There are the usual strict elder males and curious aunties. To make things worse, the IT firm in the big bad Bengaluru city where our hero( Abimanyu Dasani) works, accepts only bachelors due to heavy and time sensitive work load. ( The super strict boss makes this amply clear in his speech to the rookies). The new bride ( Sanya Malhotra) makes unsuccessful efforts to join him and soon the misunderstandings and the friction begin. When the communication between them breaks down he ruefully says that "communication is like oxygen in a relationship".

This movie is a case of post marriage slow burn and uneasy period of adjustment which at times tests the patience of audience with its slow pace, sweetness and excessive simplicity. Yes excessive sweetness and simplicity can be a pain at times. The movie focusses a bit too much on the orthodox south Indian family and the atmosphere of the sleepy temple town of Madurai to a point of distraction. The narrative is painfully slow most of the time and the misery of the confused, timid ,and awkward couple does not help in any way. (At times it looks like an idli- sambar mix gone wrong.) The good point of the movie is the pleasing display of romance between a pretty heroine and a handsome shy hero, both trying desperately to make the marriage work. The aspect of Sanya being a crazy and diehard fan of Rajnikanth is shown very well. The movie has lovely music and excellent cinematography which brings out Madurai beautifully.

The movie is only meant to see the beauty of Madurai

The story started well but then it got lost and the makers did not know how to conclude it was going slow and was getting dragged..strong emotions of love story was not present

Sanya and Abhimanyu played their characters very well and were looking good..the traditional touch of South Indian was shown well..songs and background scores were good and climax was nothing new

It's meant for ott viewers.

This film is about Meenakshi and Sunder whose cute happy marriage life gets affected when Sunder shifts alone to a new city for his job.

Lets come to the point.

GOOD :-

1. Brilliant performances. Both Sanya and Abhi look very nice and have made sure their interactions don't get boring and their conversations are sweet . I really loved that part when Meenakshi was talking to Sunder's dress that was so sweet.

2. Humor wherever present works well.

3. Music works well with the film.

Now the NEGATIVES:-

N number of flaws/no-sense scenes --> First, how bizzare was the way the leads got engaged . Mtlb kuch bhi? Second, There is a song in a train that looked cringy . Tamils singing a pure Hindi song is the last thing i see in a Tamil background film. Third, who TF makes a person sit under a dangerous fan just to watch it fall on him? Fourth, bachelors like Sunder living in an apartment that looks like some CEO's apartments. How man? Fifth, Meenakshi randomly starting to dance on the road, stuff like this happens only in films.

Overall, sweet couple relation but bogged down by so many flaws and inconsistencies that cant be ignored at all however can be given a one time watch.

Started off quite good, then the writers took a break from good writing and continued writing anyway. Promising plot ends with nowhere to go with.

Could have been less pathetic with shorter run time. It was a stretch without a good reason.

Very boring poorly scripted movie! It's all about long distance relationship in an arranged marriage trying to make marriage work. This app isn't accepting any ratings below 6 currently while rating. What a cheap strategy!

My ratings 3/10.
