Nila: Amma engeppa?
Krishna: Amma saami kitta poitanga
Nila: saamiku Amma illaya pa?
Krishna: mmmm... Sami nallavangala pakkathulaey vechikkum.
Sara: appo Naama nallavanga illayaapa?
Vikram and Sara playing the lead roles of dad and daughter have done remarkably well. Even small details like Krishna seeing all moms carrying their children carries Nila till the bus comesin the school bus stop. Both Nila and Krishna playing 'Krishna vandhachu', 'Nila vandhachu' with hands folded to make a face really steals the show. The twist in the story comes when Nila catches the attention of her school Correspondent, Amala Pal, who happens to be the child's aunt. Amala informs her dad about this and he makes moves and separates krishna and Nila. How Anushka, the advocate, files a case and tries to unite Krishna and Nila and what happens in the climax is the rest of the story.
Though the movie is good with commendable performances by the entire crew, this movie has a few pitfalls too. Somehow, accepting that Krishna has fathered a child, slightly reduces the percentage of pity that he gains acting as a challenged person, though I remember Swathi Muthyam Kamal here. Krishna, escaping from advocate Bhashyam's(Nazer) house, only to get the medicines for the advocate's son makes one raise their brow, how could he have told what medicines he wanted and where did the money to buy it come from? And the courtroom scenes could have been narrated well with arguements rather than plotting to hide Krishna, kidnapping him and such. In many movies, courtroom scenes had been remarkable ones.
And this movie is a remake of 'I am Sam'. I have not seen that movie. But too much of a hype that it is plagiarism, blah,blah mentioned in social networks like Facebook and in some blogs. I have one question for such people. But when the same was made in Hindi in 2005, 'Main Aisa Hi Hoon', with Ajay Devgan playing the lead role of the autistic father, I wonder if such comments like 'it is plagiarized content and has brought Hindi cinemas down' was on papers or on the net. Is it because of that movie got review as an outright mess that none bothered to raise the question of plagiarism there? In Tamil, the Director has done a really good job of ending up directing a good movie. Would a card in the titles that "Story inspired from I am Sam" satisfied the critics? :P
Whatever, I should admit one thing here, you can watch this movie for Sara. With actor like Vikram playing in the lead role, she has undoubtedly stole the credit with her fabulous performance. She has surpassed Vikram's acting in most of the scenes and wins appreciation. She has a bright future!
Any movie has pros and cons! Forget about 'I am Sam', I am sure you will enjoy the movie :)
