Nice Experience.

Yesterday I watched Raman thediya seethai.

I am happy I watched it.

It was a nice experience watching a movie with characters who are really human and reflect the kind of people we watch in day to day life.

Though there are three heroes in the movie, the protagonist is an eligible bachelor who is in search of a life partner. In his young age he had lost his sanity and had been treated for it. Though he is perfectly okay now he doesn't want to hide it. This ends up in many girls rejecting him. How he, his friends and his well-wishers react to this delicate issue is what the film is all about.

I would appreciate the director for making use of all the interesting factors that is involved in the search of a bride and in marriage.

At one instance the bride elopes away, the day before marriage. In another, the hero sees an auto driver who is truly in love with the girl whom he had just approved of. Being a soft hearted person he himself talks to the girl about the auto driver and encourages her to accept him. In another case he goes to see a girl in a political party meeting where the girl, who is a Police Inspector, is in vigilant security for a minister and ends up getting kicked by her. [The scene that follows is real fun.]

Cheran, the actor turned director, has played the lead role. He deserves much appreciation and applause. He breaks the myth about an hero's image. He also challenges the actors with star value by his simple and to the ground way of acting.

There are two sweet surprises in the movie. Pasupathi, who plays a blind RJ and Nithin Sathya, who is a thief in the beginning and turns to honest living after falling in love.

The scene in which Pasupathi plays saxophone inside his house while his girl stands in the street and accuses him of being a coward is simply adorable. Similarly his introduction scene, the way he deals with his love, the fight he has with the rash bike drivers are all simply awesome. Though a blind man fighting four guys doesn't fit into logic it is enjoyable.

Nithin sathya is a real delight. The marathon he runs is tickling as well as touching.

I admired the hero's character. He doesn't blame anyone for his bad luck. Nor does he hold any grudge on any one. When he meets the girl who eloped away putting him to shame, he only melts for her present situation. When he meets the girl who rejected him three years ago, he warmly greets her. When someone suggests to propose to her one more time, he says humbly, "No. She has already rejected me. We shouldn't keep disturbing some one." He is truly a RAMA except for the majesty. As a devotee of Rama, that's what I felt.

I wouldn't say this movie is technically excellent. Nor is it a classic.

But I would bet that this is a movie with innovative thinking, original creativity, healthy comedy and an interesting screenplay.

Best wishes and hearty congratulations to the team.
