Aari, Kumaravel, Ajaykrishna, Mahanadhi Shankar, Bala Singh, Sandra, Purisai Kannappa SambandamDirection: Guhan SambandamGenre: DramaDuration: 2 hours 27 minutes
Synopsis: Three friends who cannot seem to catch a break decide to make their own ways. Where do their paths lead them?
Movie Review: Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken informs Dharani and Guhan Sambandam acknowledges this in the title credits of the film. Sekar, Kathiresan and Mahesh are friends, each with their own problems. Sekar is unable to repay the money he has borrowed from a loan shark, Kathir doesn't have a job, something that his lover cites as the reason for marrying another man, and Mahesh, who came to Chennai with dreams of becoming a noteworthy actor in the film industry, has to make do as an extra.
The trio meets with failure at every step and at one point, Mahesh, who realizes that he has lost his dream, decides to go back to his native. There, he tries to convince his uncle, a koothu artist, to take him on board. Meanwhile, Sekar gets into an altercation with the loan shark and beats him up and now, the local MLA wants him as an underling. Kathir, on the other hand, is helped by a shady real estate dealer, who tells him that there is no harm in swindling others to come up in life. Where their choices take them is what the film is all about.
Intentions alone cannot elevate a movie and sometimes, well-intentioned efforts can make for underwhelming movie experience.
