Cast: Vijay Sethupathi, Inigo Prabhakaran, Ishwarya Rajesh, Gayathrie, Joe Malluri, SooriDirection: Balakrishnan KGenre: DramaDuration: 2 hours 24 minutes
Sakthi and Joseph, two college students, fall in love with girls from a family, which kills people to save their honour. Obviously, things are not going to end well...
Review: And, so it ends, Vijay Sethupathi's enviable run of envelope-pushing movies, with this very familiar tale of blood-soaked romance that clearly wants to be another Subramaniapuram. Right from its period setting (late 1980s) to the countryside duets and the ruthless characters, Rummy recalls the Sasikumar film, almost to a fault.
The film begins with Sakthi, an ordinary young man, joining college in Sivaganga where he meets his lover Meenakshi and his friends Joseph and Arunachalam. A tussle with a classmate over Meenakshi leads to Sakthi and Joseph taking a room in Arunachalam's village, where love affairs result in losses — of your anatomical parts or even life! Even as Sakthi carries on his romance with Meenakshi, Joseph falls in love with Sornam, the daughter of the village's 'periyavar', who is merciless when it comes to saving his honour. Soon enough, both the love affairs come to his knowledge, leading to a tragic ending.
While it is, on the whole, a decent film, especially in the set-in-the-sickle-toting-south genre, Rummy is also wearisome, mainly because it is so predictable.
