Rarely do you lose out on your money with Mani. It's new and refreshing, but the lingo of the two actors was too apparent a struggle for a Tamilian. The message is that you either live with or without, living in and sampling a relationship doesn't hold up for too long when strong love is confronted by the institution of marriage. Believable acting but lacking the level of portrayal of intimacy required to seduce one into marriage. A flirtatious beginning to love that sizzles and then fizzles into an all too familiar marriage. Mani gets his lines right, with Carnatic music playing for all moods, with apt actors acting but not dubbing well enough. This might be one of those movies to be forgotten sooner rather than later if one were to be a Mani Ratnam fan with Alzheimer's!
