For a while, the director tries to make an antagonist out of the grandmother, but these portions come dangerously close to resembling TV serials. It is only in the last half an hour that a proper conflict is introduced, but even this feels all too sudden with not much foreshadowing that it becomes difficult for us to buy into it.

If the film manages to keep us engaged, it is mainly because of the niceness of its characters and the feel-good moments. Some of the scenes do strike a chord – like the conversation between Kamalakannan and Bharathi before they inform their families of their romance, the portions involving Muthulakshmi (Vasundhara, lively), Kamalakannan’s friend, the scenes between Bharathi and Kamalakannan’s father.
