This movie is a total waste of 2 1/2 hours. The central plot of this movie is about the relationship between Surya, Jothika and Bhoomika (especially the one between Bhoomika and Surya), but hardly any attention is shed on this side of the story. The flashback does'nt sound convincing at all, I mean Bhoomika gets married to Surya and does'nt make an attempt to search for Surya ? The Surya-Bhoomika meeting after she returns from Australia is'nt picturised either, instead she writes a letter. Where's any emotion in reading a letter ? The Jothika dream scene is a total time-waster, she is worried about her relationship, showing that would've been enough. About 15-20 minutes are wasted just show that Jothika gets nightmarish dreams about it.
Jothika looked mature for this role, as she did in VV. Surya was ok, nothing impressive in this movie. Bhoomika had nothing to offer, she looked beautiful and worth a few wallpapers.
The screenplay was decent, good enough for a timepass. There were a few family-ish scenes like 'papa dekho, ambasamudra mein paida, american jaisi ban rahi hai' and the whole 'mechanic' sequence until 'Maja Maja' song were very nice to watch. Vadivelu comedy was a total torture, he brings us tears rather than smile out of it.
Munbe Vaa was the best out of the picturizations. Newyork Nagaram, looked like a Powerpoint slideshow (could've avoided showing the Swiss flag in the background). Machakari was terrible to watch. Kummiadi and Maja Maja were timepass
On the whole, looks like Director Krishna wanted to make a movie with Surya and Jothika (releasing it timely with Surya-Jothika marraige, so that this movie would get a lot of publicity). But with such a weak plot, the movie fails to impress.
Its a movie to watch with your partner, when you'd least bother about the extra large sized holes in the plot and just need something family-ish, romantic-ish to watch onscreen, the movie has something to offer to such an audience. If you like Surya or Bhoomika, get the DVD and collect wallpapers. Don't remember of any wallpaper-ish scenes for Jothika in this movie (maybe I dint note that).
