Review:
Billu (Jayam Ravi) is the son of Mudaliar (Vijay Kumar). Mudaliar is much loved and respected by people of his locality and Billu is almost like a foster son to every person in the locality. Billu takes an instant liking for Susi (Bhavana) the moment he sets his eyes on her at the railway station. Susi, who has arrived from Bangalore to Chennai, is all set to stay at Sait’s (VMC Haneefa) place and Sait, who has worked for Susi’s father Chidambaram (Lal), a dreaded thug, earlier, has changed ways but retains his respect towards him nevertheless. Susi, who has been craving for love and concern since young, gets impressed with the bonding that the Royapuram residents share. Love blooms between Susi and Billu, and just when they share a light moment with Billu’s friends, the unexpected occurs.
Susi acts peculiar when a long lost friend meets her at a restaurant. She denies knowing her despite her friend Revathi’s attempts to talk to her. Feeling insulted, Revathi walks away, much to the dismay and confusion of Billu and his friends. Susi, who gets emotionally high-strung, leaves the restaurant in a jiffy too.
Susi, at this juncture, comes out with the truth to Billu. Affected with a condition called ‘post traumatic event amnesia’ after an accident, Susi has forgotten events that happened in a span of three years. Billu, who takes her to the doctor (Raghuvaran), learns that this condition can be cured, but when she does get cured, Susi will not be in a position to remember whatever happened and whoever she met at Chennai-Billu included.
This disheartens Susi to a major extent and she persuades Billu to promise her that he would never leave her, even if she were to forget him due to her condition. Billu promises her that he would never leave her, come whatever may.In a turn of events, Chidambaram, Susi’s father, thrashes Billu after making him arrive at a place far from his locality, at the outskirts. The helpless Susi travels along with her father, escorted by his men, to Bangalore.
When Billu meets Susi at her residence, he gets nothing less than shocked as she has been cured and she fails to recognize him. But Billu, who had given a word to his beloved that he would never leave her, is not the one to give up. How he tries relentlessly to convince her and what happens with Susi forms the rest of the story.
Since most part of the story is set in and around Royapuram, the slang has been given prominence and the lead artistes like Jayam Ravi and Vijay Kumar, have rendered the dialogues in the ‘Madras’ slang effortlessly. The gaana song that appears when Billu and Susi travel in the fishing boat deserves special mention. It is well received by the audiences.
It should be mentioned that there is heightened excitement in the theatres when Raghuvaran makes his appearance. The seasoned actor that he is, he has done his role with élan. Welcome back Raghuvaran-we are glad to have you back!
The songs, especially Kannan Varum Velai, Pogathae and Kadhal Vaithu are not just worth listening to, they have also been picturised well. The picturisation of ‘Thoduvaen’ disappoints though. Yuvan proves his mettle in the re-recording and it is particularly good in the scene in which Billu and Susi play Holi along with the residents of the area, the scene in the terrace when Susi tells Billu about her plight and the action sequences.On the flip side, the director could have had a comedy track, as the film seems to move on a serious note in most of the places.
Cinematography by Vijay Milton and editing by Sasi Kumar are good and they complement the film’s storyline to a good extent. Stunts by Kanal Kannan are remarkable. With a good plot and interesting sequence of events interwoven around it, Ezhil has proved that he is no flash in the pan.
We also wish Lingusamy continues to give us good films from his banner.
