Theera Kaadhal

This movie starts with our protagonist meeting his ex-lover on a business trip. The characters are established and movie progresses. This movie story line is good enough for a short film, but the 2 hour duration looks dragged and claustrophobic with majority of scenes happening in same house (or) the office space.

The plot did not work as suddenly the Aishwarya Rajesh character becomes possessive and psycho over our protagonist, which looks a bit unrealistic and over the top. The emotional high is not there without which the movie just looks like scene after scene that is predictable. Sshivada character is too good though it has little scenes!!

One of the best calssical movie I have ever seen, it feels like we are involved in the character, every actor has acted amazingly, just loved the movie, great direction, at the end I felt like why the movie got over, the screen play, the acting, the direction, background music, the simple common man story and the ex lovers situation simply awesome, overall I loved the movie it's one of the best movie I have ever seen, hats off to director and stroy writer and all the actors to perfectly perform well and it felt like it's happening in our life I wasn't able to get out of the movie for some time.

It's a lovely story, nicely directed! Many of the earlier reviewers vilify the character Aranya, whereas it's Gautam, who's totally at fault. "Summa irundha sanga oothi kedutanaam Aandi" is a Tamil saying. Gautam is the root cause of all the problems. He approached Aaranya first for her phone number, celebrated her birthday in advance and then expects Aaranya to totally disconnect and move away from his life. He also moves on to have a second child! Guys are so selfish, which is well portrayed by the character Gautam, the antagonist.

Any girl who is going through stressful time would lean heavily on the other person if he shows interest and promises. And in her stress, Aaranya becomes overtly possessive.

Personal Rating 7.5/10

Does true love always remain unfinished? Even after marriage can return to true love? Even if you go back, do you have the same feeling as before? This movie has a very beautiful and cute story. Everything from the direction of the movie to the BGM was quite potential. Jai and aishwariya rajesh gave great performances. The director of the movie has been able to bring out emotions in the movie. After many days I met with good romantic drama. You should not miss This because of its simplicity and presentation.

Overall, WATCH IT BEFORE THE REMAKE to get the taste of the original.

Such a misogynist movie. Clearly written by a man.

It was amusing to watch Jai's character being portrayed as the "poor husband being denied affection": the scene where he bought his wife a saree but she doesn't even glance at it and he gets all sad. Do you know why she doesn't have time to even look at the gift saree? Because she's busy preparing breakfast for him and their child, also packing lunches for all of them to take AND getting their child ready for school after which she has to rush to leave for her own job in the morning. He doesn't look at it as affection/care/love that she asks him to make sure he eats the breakfast she cooked for him before she's rushes off to work.

When he starts to "help" her with chores (out of guilt of the emotional affair with Aishwaria's character), his wife is pleasantly surprised, but she questions him why. You can already see here that she's probably not used to him doing his share of the chores in their marriage life. As both of them are working, why is it falling on the wife's shoulders to do the cooking cleaning, ironing and getting the child ready for school? This is indicative of why she doesn't give him the attention or affection that he craves, because she does not have enough energy after work and the chores and the child.

Aishwaria's character: my god this woman took a lot of abuse from the husband, and also the fact that her parents are not supportive. They got the right person to play her abusive husband, every time he smiled, he creeped out the audience. The only thing satisfying about this movie is that she took a bold step to leave this marriage and also, the satisfying slap she give him when she fought back.

Jai's character is portrayed as someone stuck in between but in reality he is a cunning guy who pretends be the nice guy. He is the one who asks for his ex's new number, pursues his ex to go for dinner and keep in touch. And at the same time he's also being intimate with his wife resulting in another pregnancy.

This movie could have done something noble where they could have actually addressed domestic abusive situations, shown support for survivors instead of making a domestic abuse survivor a villainous clown.

Hope the actresses chose a better script next time.
