Plot

Peter is the son of a Mridangam maker, Johnson. He is passionate about learning Mridangam. Peter prefers to learn under Vembu Iyer, the expert. He expresses this to his father, who tells him that they will throw him out of doors, if he approaches them to learn Mridangam. As he said, when Peter approached, Mani, the disciple of Vembu Iyer, throws him out. But, Peter waits and waits and gets an opportunity to meet Vembu Iyer, who initially denies teaching Peter, then approves. On Seeing Peter’s passion, Vembu Iyer is much impressed, but this didn’t go well with Mani, who plans to take revenge. What happens next? Did Peter get success in his ambition? Watch the film in theaters!

Star Performance

GV Prakash Kumar did his best. Vineeth and Aparna are good in their roles. But, it is Nedumudi Venu, who swallowed everyone with his excellent performance. His looks, body language and the performance, make us feel him as a legendary Mridangam Vidwan.

Analysis

Rajiv Menon’s screenplay is neat and he had moved it excellently well. The transformation of GV Prakash is good. The scenes between Venu and GV are fantastic. Rajiv had dealt with the cast issues excellently well; not with the dialogues, but the actions. Music by Rahman is one among the best in the film. With the simple beats, Rahman and his team impressed the audiences. The cinematography and the editing are good. The chemistry between the leads is good too.

What’s There?

Performance by Nedumudi Venu and GV Prakash is the biggest plus
The music composition by AR Rahman is fantastic
Narration, cinematography and editing are good

What’s Not There?

The intimate scenes between the leads could have been avoided
Some more tiny flaws slow down the flow of the film

Verdict

With the neat performance and the good narration, the film is good. If certain scenes had been avoided, the film would have been a complete family entertainer. However, it is watchable, once!
