The Nalan – Vijay Sethupathi combination clicks once again and it’s refreshing to see the filmmaker spring back in action after a long hiatus. to Europe for the first time with a simple love triangle story theme. Nalan takes a very bold approach but his treatment is light-hearted, as it leaves one chuckling away right till the end. Initially, Indian films were predominantly produced in Bengali, Tamil, Hindi. The short talks about the element of sanctity in a marriage and how it applies to both husband and the wife. It talks about male insecurity when a husband, who is confronted by his wife for cheating on her, learns that she has cheated on him many years ago. Nalan Kumarswamy’s short about a couple during the pandemic is easily the best segment of the anthology. The twist in the climax is slightly underwhelming, too.Īlso read: Aamir Khan’s daughter Ira Khan confirms relationship with fitness trainer Nupur Shikhare.
The exciting premise doesn’t translate into an engaging story with characters worth rooting. It features extensive footage of gaming animation, and we see two characters bonding over a game. It’s easily the most creative idea of the lot, and it makes for an interesting watch. Venkat Prabhu’s short is about two avid gamers who fall in love without seeing each other. The short feature Amitash and Megha Akash in the lead and it’s the latter who impresses here. It leaves one confused about the filmmaker’s stand on pregnancy and abortion. To some extent the story takes a mature stand on the topic but the ending is a major disappointment. Vijay’s short about unplanned pregnancy could’ve been handled in a better way. A still from Nalan Kumarswamy's short featuring Vijay Sethupathi as an insecure husband. These scenes take away all the sensibility out of Gautham’s intent to talk maturely about platonic relationships and it gets flat-out annoying after a point. Gautham preempts audiences’ reaction and conveys it through the scenes featuring Robo Shankar, who jokes about how a boy can kiss a girl on her cheek when they’re having an intimate moment and not take it all the way. But Gautham’s effort to commercialize the story with the help of Robo Shankar’s comedy is probably why the short is problematic. His mature take on platonic relationship – which is rarely discussed at length in Tamil cinema – deserves praise and he extracts beautiful performances from his lead cast, especially from Amala Paul. If there’s one Tamil filmmaker who has championed the urban romance space, it is undoubtedly Gautham Menon. However, many years later, both of them realize they had feelings for each other but it’s too late to do anything about it. Adhi continues to believe that he and Mrinalini have always maintained a platonic relationship and have been well aware of the invisible line that differentiates friendship and love. The story is centered on Adhi (Vinoth) and Mrinalini (Amala Paul) who’ve been friends for the longest time but they’ve shared one intimate moment many years ago. Throughout the course of the short, we hear dialogues like a man and a woman can never be friends. Gautham Menon’s short talks about platonic relationships.
