Featured review
Confused plot but is funny in parts
The trailers gave an impression that its about Hindi imposition in TN. The movie doesnt make a direct point on any subject. Keerthi Suresh is an independent thinking woman who leads an agitation to close a Hindi sabha in her village along with her grandfather. She is also a prolific writer who writes under a male pseudonym. Situations change where she has to take a Hindi exam to earn a promotion to stop an impending marriage. The comedy works thanks to Keerthy Suresh, Devadarshini and Ismath Bhanu. But you cannot understand what the director is supporting here. All the North Indian characters speak Tamil. A character called Ranganathan is pledging everything he has, just to get the Hindi sabha in the village open. Why?
The same sabha conducts the exams that Keerthy has to take, that she had violently closed(wonder who will conduct it) but conveniently she has to prepone and take it at a different location. In the end it all leads to a chaotic marriage situation where she talks about the compulsion of culture. Then we have a dialogue where she says she is not against Hindi but imposition of Hindi. But still won't allow the Sabha to be opened. How does opening a Sabha lead to imposition? She had to slyly find someone to coach her for the exam, why not allow a Sabha which can do the same publicly? Overall the director is too cowardly to take a clear stance or present the arguments on both sides clearly. I am quite surprised that this was the same gentleman who wrote such a brilliant Season 2 of Family Man.
