Analysis
Daayam deviates from the typical story focusing only on the loss of the loved one which makes the audience engaging to watch. It focuses on humor and teenage romance as well. Prasanth Vijay directed the film The Summer of Miracles (2017) with a similar theme based on the loss of a parent. The director Vijay said the writer Indu Lakshmi's early life experience of losing her mother inspired the movie. The writer is a female so it has allowed the director to explore the viewpoints of the movie quickly. Rini Udayakumar played a traditional aunt, Bala Shankar Bio coming soon... >> Read More... as a maternal uncle, and Ranjini George as a female colleague of her father played their roles effortlessly. At the end of the film, the girl faces the challenges instead of accepting them which the audience appreciates the outstanding performance of Aathira Rajeev. Her on-screen presence is extraordinary. If you like films that explore the complexities of power within a family, then it will be worth watching.
