Plot

The movie is set in the backdrop of a village in Tamil Nadu. Here girl child education is not appreciated. Swathy Narayanan has big dreams about her life and want to make it big. Her father also supports her dream. However, her mother is against Swathy’s dreams. Swathy excels in her studies and predictably she is faced with problems in the form of jealousy by a landlord’s daughter, who is her classmate. Swatthy is put into problems by not able to take up the final exams. How Swathy emerges a winner after facing all the obstacles form the crux of the story.

He shows the earnestness of the students in village side to study and how they strive to accomplish their dreams. However, though the movie has a good message, about students trying to achieve their dreams, the movie is dragging in many places, making the viewer bored.

  • Cinematography of Ilai is commendable.
  • The music of Vishnu Diwakaran gels well with the tempo of the movie. •

What’s not there?

  • The main drawback of the movie is that it is dragging.

Verdict

The movie has a good concept and can be applauded for that.
