Man(nar) Madhan(agopal) Ambu(jakshi)

I liked it.
Warning: Spoilers present below...

Lot of kamalhassan stuff, if you have seen his movies, the way i see those. Cant believe thats Ramesh Aravind ! Madhavan's characterization was made unnatural towards the end. Not good. Urvashi dint get a chance to show her timing in comedy. Sangeetha does her job in "the matrimony was bad, but the alimony is good". May be Sangeetha and Urvashi's role should've been exchanged. Trish looks fresh. Usha Utup is a surprise. Kids do it well. Kamal could do this role in his sleep. Some typical crazymohan dialogues and aal maarattam climax. If you are not that types, you will feel the drag.

Songs are ok. People wowing Neelavanam song havent seen coldplay scientist. The controversial poetry was removed, but one can make out where it fits.

Europe is beautiful. Evoked memories of my trip to Venice.

Some entries like the opening fight or the bull taming you see in the posters can be excused because there are no other forceful masala. The driver character was unnecessary as if srilankan tamil had to be brought in. A typical film would have brought ex-hubby of priya in the climax.

[spoiler]
I really liked the scene where Mannar forgives Ambu. But there weren't enough justification on why he would love her. It was like indha vayasaanavana paathu Trisha vey ok sollitta, Madhavanum venam nu sollittan, french kaariyum poita, idha vitta padathula vera character illa, appo ivalaye love pannalam. Similarly why would Madhan love Deepa, just because...
[/spoiler]

Ending wasn't convincing at all. Definitely not expected from K.S.Ravikumar, Kamalhassan, crazy mohan.

Dialogues on truth and honesty are good. But unlike Anbe sivam where though kamal and madhavan disagreed, their characterization were justified, thats not the case here.

This is nowhere near the top list of kamal-crazy combination. But I liked it, except for the end.
