Every now and then a Tamil movie comes out that warms your heart and stays in you for a long time.
A while back it was 'Mozhi' and now it is 'Abhiyum Naanum'.
Both these movies are the brain children of 'Duet films' a wonderful movie making company that has to patted on the back.
I had the opportunity to watch 'Abhiyum Naanum' a few days back at IMC6 in the Bay area. I am glad I took my daughters along.
These days, movies rely on a lot of commercial elements for success but 'Abhiyum Naanum' directed by Radha Mohan has rewritten the rules of the game ( once again ). There is absolutely no blood, navel etc. in this gem of a movie.
Simple story, superb acting by Prakash Raj / Trisha / Aishwarya and especially 'Ravi Shastri', wonderful dialogues and beautiful photography are some of the hallmarks of this film.
I am not going to write about 'Ravi Shastri' in detail though he IMHO stole the show. He is a wonderful character nicely done by someone ( don't know his name). I couldn't control my tears on one occasion where he first calls Trisha as 'Mom'. Very touching.
Biggest letdown is Vidya Sagar. I didn't like any of the songs, though the one by Kailash Kher sounds a little different and is listenable.
I am very happy to see such films come out of Kollywood. Thanks Prakash Raj / Radha Mohan and team for a wonderful movie.
PS - My daughters gave 99.5 for Abhi and 100 for Mozhi !!
