*POSITIVES:
*- Apt screen play, beautiful locations, pleasent songs
negatives
Veteran actor jairam who plays his part as a doctor in the hill resort has been wasted
Cherans perfomance is mixed and reflects the expressions of his old films
The steam is lost as the film approaches the end
second half is bit too sober to the audience liking relative to the mood in the first half but the arguement would be that the treatment was required to get the emotions of a newly married women
Verdict
This movie definetly reflects the loneliness of women especially who have been born and bought up in an entitrely different atmosphere and is forced to face the challenges of loneliness in a new place early in her married life . Its true that women make a lot of sacrifices just to see her beloved husband happy . But I guess the movie brings about the true emotions that is quite factual to real life and a lot of women and men can relate to there own personal life. Its a good attempt by the creator to address a problem when men think selfishly while women compromised there desires for there better halfs. Well kudos to the director for a good attempt and sincerely hope this movie brings about a change in many such peoples lifes
