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.

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!!

RATED 6/10 Language: Tamil Source: Netflix

The movie starts very well and the cast was too good. The movie was lovely till the main characters retrun from the Kerala segment. I really enjoyed till this moment.

After that movie flow and direction of story is good, but the characterisation become more complex. The characters lost their originality and become villain for a moment and become victim in another second.

The biggest problem is, no one will behave like these lovers in the real life. No one will hide lover in the house and no one will argue/explain to police station in front of lover and wife.

Dont know what is the reason the heroine forgive the hero in climax and all these kind of mistakes only came in my sight.... i didnt enjoy this one, may be this discomfort only for me. Give a try, you may like it...

This film is made on the lines of the popular Tamil movie: 96 and it almost looks like a sequel to it in a way.

The plot is a bit different where a girl wants to patch up with her ex with a back plot for both the characters, a decent one with some unexpected turns but somehow, in the end, it feels like having watched a tv serial, that's where the film fails, maybe due to the laggy/extended portions of the actress.

And it looks like a comeback for Jai since nothing seems to have worked out for him in the past, pity.

IDU why but watching Aishwarya Rajesh as the heroine is sometimes annoying, I think it's most probably because of her over-acting & too much nonsensical talks in her interviews.

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.

When i watched the trailer, i was worried that this movie is about love affair. But after watching the movie, i realised that i was totally wrong. No lines was crossed from the beginning till the end. All the surroundings and circumstances was real and acceptable. This is a tensed movie until it ends. But the story line was clear and the objective was clear. It shows a moderate man's life. His view on his life was real. Nothing fantasy. Everything was so real and relatable. Every decision that the man make is for real and probably the same and right one that every man in that sitution will do. No nothing dramatic. Was so real and tense. Loved it. 10 out of 10.

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.

This movie has given a very different treatment to old school love story, very nice touch was the male lead coming even closer to his spouse after returning from Mangalore, Aishwarya's character had a very troubled married life nothing good could be shown there as the Husband was a suffering from inferiority complex and thats what made him physically abuse her, she turning over possesive for the male lead is a natural behaviour depicted by her as she was looking for emotional support and in that effort she did not realise that she is affecting his married life

Perfect ending where Aishwarya realises her mistake and decides to move on.

A wonderful movie in the recent times. Beautiful screen play , very interesting . All have acted very well. Jay deserves a good place in the film fraternity. Aishwarya is the star performer . The new actress (Vidhya) has acted like a matured and experienced actor. People look out for big star casted films like Leo , Jailor etc..but trust me no one can get the satisfaction from those films like from this kind of good story lined and performance oriented films. It is very obvious and evident that the director is very clear with the story line and has perfectly carried the film through out . Kudos to the entire team 👏👏👏👏

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.
