"When Jeeva sir narrated
this project I took it for two reasons only; firstly Jeeva was
the cameraman in my debut movie Vaali & secondly the screenplay
of this movie is quite tricky & it did break the norms of
movie making in India."
-----------------------------------------------------------
Genre: Romance
Running time: 155 min
Story Line:
The movie starts off with the handsome sunny Shaam (Shakthivel
in the film) waking up in the morning and getting ready to go
for this umpteenth interview he is probably attending. He gets
up, works out, goes to the temple and just when it is going to
be yet another day in his life he meets this girl (Jothika who
comes by the same name also in the film) in the temple whom he
flips for. Both of them walk to the bus stop, the bus 12B comes
wheeling into the stop, both of them run for the bus, Jothika
gets into the bus, while Shaam misses the bus because an auto
rickshaw comes in his way. It is at this point that the movie
takes off in two different parallel tracks. . the first story
is about a hypothetical Shaam who does not miss the bus. . the
second story is about the same Shaam who misses the bus. The lighter
and humorous scenes are around Vivek's garage where Shaam works.
Vivek and Srinath (the assistant director of the film) play the
friends of Vivek. While a more down-to-earth Srinath urges Shaam
to give up chasing Jothika and carry on with his life, Vivek is
the one who makes Shaam look at things in life the positive way.
Underlying Vivek's rib cracking humor is a subtle message to us,
which makes us think about many social issues. All the artistes
have given an excellent down to earth performance, nothing more
and nothing less. The youthful, vibrant and colorful choreography
by Raju Sundaram & Rekha Prakash and catchy numbers by Harris
Jayaraj definitely need a round of applause. Director Jeeva has
deftly handled the switching back and forth between the two story
lines. The overlapping and the distinction between the two stories
do tend to confuse us a bit but on the other hand we get to develop
a soft corner for both the characters of Shaam.
