‘Sonna Puriyaadhu’ a romantic comedy that entertains
Krishnan Jayaraj makes an impressive debut with
‘Sonna Puriyaadhu.’
Siva is a dubbing artiste, who lends his voice for Tamil versions of Hollywood blockbusters and Discovery Channel programs. A fun loving guy who enjoys his daily quota of booze, Siva dreams of the day he will buy his Volkswagen, his first love actually. But when it comes to matters of the heart, he is not serious. Nor does he believe in marriage. Every time his single mother broaches the subject, Siva evades it, until one day she emotionally blackmails him into agreeing to a traditional marriage. So he meets Anjali in the traditional girl-boy seeing ceremony. Anjali, a host for a spiritual channel is just the kind every Kollywood mother wants for her son: demure, god fearing, vegetarian and conservative, a contrast to Siva. And, before Siva is given a chance to think for himself, his mother has approved of Anjali and their marriage fixed too.
Not one to give in, Siva plots on breaking this alliance. Does Siva get hitched to Anjali finally? Go and watch ‘Sonna Puriyaadhu.’
Jayaraj’s film does not pretend to be anything else but an enjoyable entertainer. Siva as Siva keeps you chuckling with his lines that he delivers with a straight face. Like his earlier film, ‘Tamil Padam,’ some scenes are a spoof on Tamil films. The dubbing scenes are hilarious.
Vasundhara Kashyap as Anjali comes out with an impressive performance. You will love Siva’s Face book addicted grandma, who is inseparable from her I-Pad. Meera Krishnan as Siva’s mother brings out her character well too.
Unpredictable and funny without resorting to toilet humour, ‘Sonna Puriyaadhu,’ keeps your mundane worries at bay for a while.
