engeyum eppodhum

Nowadays blood donation scene is common in movies / TV serials after an accident scene. Few days back I was thinking why there is no eye donation scene in any movie or in TV serials after a death scene. At least I have not seen one till then. I thought, only if people can visualize the organ donation, they can do it.

Manimegalai (Anjali) remembers to donate the organs of her lover Kadhiresan (Jai) immediately after losing him in a tragic road accident. Its in "engeyum eppodhum" directed by new flimmaker Saravanan. That was an excellent thinking. The flashback for this couple portraits the boldness of Manimegalai and innocence of Kadhiresan.




Another couple in the movie, Goutham (Shravanand) and Amudha (Ananya) also have a liking flashback. Added to their excellent performance, the characterisation has been done perfectly for all the four.



The movie starts a four hours ago flashback and then dives more backwards to characterize the four people. As they travel in bus, the background traffic sound and the music played in the bus along with the intended dialogues have been captured very well. But for me it was like a continuous noise (may be I have to see more movies in theater).

When the bus reaches arasur, the movie makes us to wish for a long flashback before the bus reaches the final destination. Having lot of characters and being a small movie, it makes us wish for more scenes and thus succeeding. The big production by AR Murugadoss and fox star studios is a major plus for the movie and for the movie's hype.

The climax makes us to feel as if it is a documentary film, but overall the movie is real good entertainer.
