Plot
A young girl gets married into a family, where the men always want the women to carry only the household chores and dominate them. Though the girl adjusts to her husband and father-in-law’s domination at home, she can’t bear them when her mother-in-law is out of the house for a few months. Though her husband is educated and works as a teacher, he is patriarchal and sees his wife down. The girl who had a lot of dreams before marriage was unable to lead her life happily. What will be her decision when her husband and father-in-law show a great attitude? The rest of the film deals with this.
Star Performance
Aishwarya Rajesh fits well in the role and proves her worth once again with a neat performance. Rahul Ravindran looks smart and has also performed smartly. The rest of the cast did what was needed.
Analysis
Kannan didn’t make any significant changes from the original story. Aishwarya replaced Nimisha Sajayan and has done justice to the given role and proved that she is the wisest choice for this role. The film showcases the issues faced by women in a middle-class male chauvinist family. Many women could relate to this film. Though the film was carried out well, the climax is not much satisfactory. Yogi Babu’s cameo is neat too. The visuals are good, and the art direction is perfect. Kudos to the production designing team, who perfectly designed a middle-class household. The director has done his part well, except for the climax.
