Recently, had watched this movie on TV. I missed to watch this movie in theaters after hearing some avg reviews, have to blame myself and I regret for this decision. Probably, why this kolaveri? shouldn't have happened to this movie which created a different outlook of the movie expectation. Everyone would have expected a jolly, romance fun- filled movie, but it is not. There's saying don't judge a book by its cover. Why this kolaveri? song completely spoiled this movie from getting its cult status which it deserved to be. Now the movie has become a very underrated and people are not interested to watch again. Director has set the mood starting from first frame showing Ram (Dhanush) deadbody which clearly says its not your usual regular romantic-fun movie. This movie is not for the audience who wants to spent a few hours by crunching pop corn, frequently chatting/texting in mobile phone. This movie requires the audience time and heart to be spent to understand the main two characters Ram and Nandhini, and once you are ready to invest, director (aishwarya) and Music director (Anirudh) takes you to their world and in their life which throws a LUMP in your throat. I usually, watch movies very seriously without missing a frame on screen. I was imagining myself to be Ram and watching it. I was able to feel each and every emotions that character was going through and finally i cried out a loud nearing last few mins. Hats off to the director for making me cry and feel the pain of the lead characters.
This movie definitely need a patience watching and requires your time and heart to invest, you will reap great returns and its a wonderful experience that your heart is heavy with those returns
Missed to become a cult classic - but for me its more than that...
