'Tamiluku En Ondrai Azhuthavum' Movie Review: Social Thriller With Great Comedy


Star Cast: Dinesh, Nakul Jaidev, Bindu Madhavi, Aishwarya Dutta, Sathish, Manobala, Urvashi

Director: Ramprakash Rayappa

Right in the beginning of ‘Tamiluku En Ondrai Azhuthavum’ (TEOA), we’re told (in the voice of actor Aadi Pinisetty) what we are going to see on the screen over the next 140 minutes.

The premise is interesting – at a construction site, the life of a young woman, Simi (Bindu), is hanging by a few iron strings and a crane, while somewhere else (in nearby vicinity) many innocent lives could be possibly at stake.

Agreed it’s a little disappointing to learn about the suspense quite early on, but the buildup to it is worth sitting through.

The story then shifts to a few days earlier and in a middle class household, a child is playing with what appears like a remote-controlled motorbike. Here, we’re introduced to Vasanth (Nakul), a tech geek, who makes a living out of designing projects for engineering college students. He’s otherwise unemployed and this irks his brother.

Vasanth’s mother, played by Urvashi, is a fifth-class dropout but her knowledge of science will scare the living daylights out of a college student. And it does in one scene, and when she’s asked how, she nonchalantly says she learnt it from her son.

Vasanth is your regular youngster but with extreme liking for science. Even when he gets kissed by his girlfriend, he’s somehow more interested in measuring the rise in body temperature.
