Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing and romantics.
The mood: Tense, warm and romantic.
The pace: Fast-moving.
What might put you off: It's in Tamil, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

Rebellious Arivu (Manoj) -- who's incessantly at odds with his father -- shocks his family with his gallantry in this unconventional romantic drama. Forced to attend a wedding with his parents, Arivu graciously offers to marry Savitri (Richa Pallod) when the groom is a no-show. Though the jilted bride rejects the startling proposal, she later turns to Arivu after losing a cherished friend to suicide.
