Pattom Pole Review

Story: The film tracks the relationship between a Brahmin youth and a Christian girl and the ripples it creates in their families.
Pattam Pole has a hurried beginning - a girl and a boy elope in the morning, later they fight with each other and return home. The film would then trace the eventual course of their lives. This seeming simplicity is perhaps the major casualty of this film.
Dulquer and Malavika don the lead roles of a Brahmin youth named Karthik and an affluent Christian girl, Rita. Both of them perform a decent job only to be weighed down by a fragile plot that lacks substance. Azhagappan while making his directorial debut burdens himself with the added task of plugging the gaps with songs, plenty of them arrive without prior notice like an epidemic.
Romance, no matter how many times it's told, has a special lure that diminishes the cliches that accompany it. In this film, this never happens, even when Dulquer showcases his ease and elegance or when Anoop Menon, who plays the head of an event-management company, juggles his accents to crack quips. Predictability lightens the plot right from the outset and makes the film far less engaging than a mediocre romance.
