Director Saravana Subbiah is making a comeback to films with
‘ABCD’ after a break. With this film, he is moving from
commercial films to a film based on human relationships and the
emotions involved. He brings to light the obstacles faced by
women in the society.
In the film, Shaam (Anandh) is an MBA graduate hunting for
job. He stays in the house of an old Brahmin. The Brahmin has a
daughter name Chandra (Sneha) who is a widow. Her husband
Saravana Subbiah) ill-treats her since their marriage until his
death. Anandh shows love affection to her. And slowly, Chandra
begins to have a soft corner for him.
Meanwhile, Anandh comes across a girl by name Bharathy (Nandhana)
in a bus after she misplaces her certificates. She is a woman
with revolutionary ideas and looks after her entire family.
Number of events makes her to get attracted to him.
Anandh also meets an orphaned girl by name Divya Daisy (Aparna)
who is brought up by the church. She goes on to find a job and
settles a good life with her sheer hard work. Subsequently, she
meets an accident and Anandh rushes her to a hospital and
rescues her. They eventually become close friends and she
reveals her feelings for him.
Now, Anandh is caught in a circle of love. The rest of the
film is on whom he decides to tie the final knot.
Shaam’s performance is decent in the film. He plays an energetic
youth who understands others’ sentiments and helps his
neighbors. Sneha’s portrayal as a widow is beautifully. She fits
the bill. D Imman also uses the opportunity well and comes out
with some good music.
On the other hand, the screenplay is a bit slow in the second
half of the film. The director has added bit of commercialism by
using a racy number and fight stunts. Also, he should have
avoided the comedy scenes of Vadivelu, as it disturbs the flow
of the film. On the whole, the film has a good story and is
good. Director of the film Saravana Subbiah deserves all the
praises for attempting a different kind of film when everyone is
doing commercial films over and over again. |
