Story

Muthu
(Karthik) is a caretaker at a retirement home known as Rojavanam.
He is the favourite of all the elderly residents and the owner
of 'Rojavanam'. Muthu then begins to have a crush on the owner
of Rojavanam's daughter Roja (Laila), and the residents of
the home decide to help him out as he is quite shy to admit
his feelings. What follows are the antics of the residents
to ensure that Muthu is married... A warm film that is fully
dedicated to the elderly people, who are normally forgotten
or stereotyped on Indian cinema. So its a breathe of fresh
air that the film manages to focus on the elderly in both
a humorous and pleasant way. Of course some of the clichés
remain here of how the youth treat the elderly, but the way
these plots interweaves with the main narrative is unique
and is one reason why the film is watchable. Thespian actors
'Kaka' Radhakrishnan, M.S.Viswanathan, Jaiganesh and Nambiar
are wonderfully portrayed in the film as the loveable elderly
folks. It is particularly fun seeing them trying to fix the
character of Muthu up with a girl, and them beating up a gang
of rowdies. The overall production value is indeed quite good,
with some picturesque cinematography. The background music
score is very orchestrated and is memorable in the mind even
after the film ends. |
