'Amudhae' promises profundity in treatment and to a certain extent lives up to it too. Be it 'Thulladha Manamum Thullum', or 'Poovellam Un Vaasam' writer-director Ezhil has always come out with decent films that adopt a fresh approach to romance and life. The latest, `Amudhae,' does not disappoint either.

Story:
Dinakar (Jai Akash) and Nancy (Madhumita) are neighbours in love with each other. Nancy, the breadwinner of the family, is as headstrong and egoistic as she is caring and responsible. The two families are not going to allow the romance to culminate in marriage and so Nancy suggests a plan and Dinakar agrees. She would marry the millionaire Victor (Prakashraj) her self-centred parents have chosen for her and he would settle for Vinaya (Uma) his parents have decided upon. But soon the two would get divorced and get back to each other. Because Madhumita's plan does not even give as much as a thought to the plight of Victor or Vinaya who would suffer for no fault of theirs the lovers lose sympathy straightway.

Performance:
Prakashraj's amazing screen presence is an asset of `Amudhae.' He lights up the frames with his histrionic potential. Madhumita who impressed with a stunning debut in `Kudaikkul Mazhai' revives the magic yet again. The hourglass figure, the tastefully done costume and myriad expressions should take her places. Uma is another who glows in a subtly played, effective portrayal. Jai Akash is average. He expressions are blank most of the time.

Music:
Debutant S.Sunil's music is impressive. He has come out with a couple of hum-worthy pieces.
Verdict:
Average.
