It
is only once in a blue-moon does such movies are made!
A
film that has bagged several awards and encomiums and is continuing to gather
more awards!
The
script of Ganesh Vinayakan who has also helmed is set around a hilly terrain breathtakingly
captured by cinematographer Sukumar.
It
is set around the life of a poor girl (Abarnathi) living atop the mountains
with her ailing dad. She chances to meet a man (Tharun Kumar) living all by himself
alongside the mountains and ekes out a meagre living by fetching honey from the
highly grown up trees!
She
accepts her proposal for marriage and very much against the wishes of people
around (as a customary act fails the soon to be wedded couple!).
A
girl child is born but is short of speech.
Their
calm and quiet life goes for a toss as the mother develops a peculiar pain in
her stomach.
The
trio travel down to the nearest town and reach out to the hospital but the
mother doesn’t last long!
Accompanied
by his daughter, he carries the corpse up the hills owing to financial
constraints.
The
crux of the film focuses on the exploitive nature of the Government as well as
the Hospital staff and how the formalities of the system fail to help out the
poor and the needy!
The
climax is heart crushing!
Bawa
Lakshmana cuts a fine cameo as a stranger who comes forward to extend help to
the protagonist and his family.
The
music of Sanath Bharadwaj warrants mention.
The
dialogue penned by Raasi Thangadurai though loaded with wit and sarcasm, raises
a lot of pertinent questions!
A
movie that tickles your heart strings even long after finish!
