Director Bhuvanaraja can be appreciated for the fact that he has not
taken recourse to the many short ways. He has stuck to the simple
path and delivered a good cinema. 'Adaikalam', directed by
Bhuvanaraja, is one tale of human emotions.
The film offers a change from regular fights, songs and small story
routine. It revolves around Anbu (Prashanth) and Thamizh (Uma).
The two are siblings and dote on each other. They live under the care
of their uncle Somasundaram (Radha Ravi). Well, their parents
(Thiyagarajan and Saranya) had a bitter separation. Nobody knows
why this happened but the father is seen as the villain of the piece and
when he comes back after several years, no one is ready to accept
him. But he has a tale to tell about why he separated.
As a story of human bonding, this is high with sentiments and a very
dignified show from Prashanth.The answers are found convincingly
in the emotional gut-wrench when the film comes to an end.
Performance:
Prashanth the actor, has got his due after a long time. As a brother
and a bitter son, he has churned out what is arguably one of his better
performances till date. Uma as his sister is simply superb. The young
woman pulls out a gritty show that is warm and believable.
Thiyagarajan, as a hapless father, he gets his limited expressions right.
Saranya is now the mother of the season. The role is an extension of
hers from films like 'Em Magan' and 'Thavamai Thavamirundhu'.
Radha Ravi, as ever, is Mr. Dependable. The music of Sabesh Murali
is good and the songs are pleasant.
Verdict: Average
