Story:
An old tale, the story
begins with the life of Yamuna (karthika) whose life is filled with nothing but
worries and sorrows. This starts right from home as her husband (vijayaraghavan)
is sent to jail on a false count of murder. Then, there is her five year old son
who gets lost in a temple festival leaving Yamuna shattered. However, she has a
strong faith in Lord Krishna and begins to pray for him relentlessly in the hope
that he would come and rescue her from her grievances. True to her prayers, the
lord does appear and miraculous things begin to take place. What happens from
there forms the rest of the story. |
Presentation:
The
director has come up with a pure devotional flick and both the presentation and
narrative were not good. The dialogues were dull, the script was stale and the
screenplay was patchy. Background score was somewhat okay but the songs were not
worthy. Cinematography shines at few places but not for long. Costumes
disappoint and art department is the only saving grace. Saikumar does his role
as required, Karthika wears the sympathy face and does her bit as per the
standards, Sukumari was standard, Indrans was usual, Vijayaraghavan was regular,
the others didn't have much to offer in this one. |
Conclusion:
The film
seems to have taken the lead from a devotional movie of the early and mid 80s.
The entire length of it runs on the lines of the miracles and so much of godly
presence that at one point, the audience feels that it is far too hard to get
convinced by such genres. While the first half shows the sad side of the
protagonist, the second half shows how divinity brings about a complete change.
As much as the audience may want it to happen in real life, the portrayal of the
film makes it look like a bit amateurish. At the box office, it might appeal to
a very few groups but success is difficult.
