When a director touches a Srilankan subject, then it is sure to evoke interest. And when the story is woven with love as the main theme, the interest only intensifies. Sathya Siva, who helmed direction for the noteworthy venture Kazhugu, has come up with a heartrending love tale this time.Â
An IndianTamil guy falls in love with a Tamil girl of Srilankan origin. The film is set in the simple backdrop of a building construction spot.Â
The motive of the director is really good; he tries to handle the Srilankan issue in a prudent manner. However for this concept, the director could have worked well on the love scenes. You also tend to be nostalgic as this film reminds us of earlier films.Â
The Srilankan-Tamil dialect is really good, and the director should be applauded for this. Rupa Manjari’s acting prowess is at its best in this film. The director has exploited her talents by bringing before us the plight of Srilankans, through her heart-rending performance. Naveen Chandra’s work is also good. Raj Kiran, is as usual, great. As the person with the right humanitarian touch, he brings the much-needed emotional depth for the film.  One will surely feel that he could have appeared in few more scenes in the film. The character of Selva could have been given more prominence.Â
Madhu Ambat’s cinematography is the highlight of the film. He matches the expectations of the director.He brings before our eyes the plight of the Srilankan Tamils. Thambi Ramaiah’s humour is only average. Music of Raghunathan is outstanding.Â
We tend to forget many important social issues in our lives, owing to our busy schedule. The Srilankan-Tamil issue is reinforced in this film. This film will surely strike the right chord with an elite audience, if not all.Â
