Especially so in an Indian film with good old Indian values.
The developing relationship between Gowtham and Kundhavi is conveniently not thought important and what we’re left with is a typical situation that an arranged marriage ultimately works out well. You wonder what’s going to happen to this couple when bham! Cut to six years later and suddenly this is an ideal filmi marriage, cute family complete with precocious daughter, Aishwarya, and all and life is but a dream. The Gowtham-Kundhavi (Suriya-Jyotika) relationship begins intriguingly as they are both forced into an arranged marriage that both appear clearly unhappy with. Thanks to its formulaic views, the screenplay, filled with done-to-death situations, actually skims over portions that if looked at, could have made for far more intesting viewing and given the film a perspective and attitute. Supposed to be an exploration of love at various stages of a man’s life, the film is stereotypical and is quite the exercise in utter boredom. The film is done in by an idiotic story made worse due to ineffectual treatment, a terribly weak screenplay and absolutely inept direction by N Krishna. More so, when you cannot really fault Suriya’s efficient enough central performance, RD Rajasekar’s polished cinematography or AR Rahman’s wonderful musical score. Considering the talent involved, Sillunu Oru Kaadhal has to be one of the most disappointing films seen by me in recent times.
