Chidambarathil oRu Appasamy - Review

Yesterday I happened to watch this movie. It was a neat movie with no violence, sex and all kinds of other masalas. The best thing about this movie is the simplicity and the practicality of all the characters. The movie doesnt have a star value on its cast. This is a huge plus as well as a minus for the movie.

All the cast naturally fit in to the characters. It feels as if we are seeing something happening next door. The story is very simple and straight forward. It revolves around a person who is influenced by his friends circle. Though he is a very loving husband, caring father and a dotting son, he is lead in an unscruplous way by his mates.

He is once arrested for causing public nuisance in a bar and is about to be remanded. But the police officer being his relative, lets him off after getting a written statement stating that he would fast for 48 days and visit the Sabarimala temple(What a Godly police man :)) . This is the twist in the story.

He half-heaterdly goes to the temple and there he feels as if he has found peace in his life and decides to become a sage. His wife becomes heart broken because he leaves her and gets out in the path of sanyasm. She has 2 kids to raise. But without loosing hope and her esteem, she struggles hard to bring up her kids.

In the meantime, he understands that taking care of his family is a virtue in itself and that would bring him peace and happiness. He returns back to his family with a vow that he would work hard and make them feel happy.

All the actors have done a splendid job. Especially, Navya Nair who plays the wife role has given a tremendous performance. I should certainly mention about Illayaraaja's back ground music here. The music fits in smoothly with the situations and gives the extra boost to the story and the performance of the actors.

In all, this is one of the very good movies I have watched recently !
