Plot

Karthik is someone who does not believe in absolute commitment. However, when he breaks up with yet another girlfriend, he impulsively marries Priya, who has never been in a relationship. How will the two cope with each other?

Star Performances

The only good thing about this film is the effort of the lead pair Hrishikesh and Sherlin Seth.

For all the flaws of this film, at least they attempted to make this watchable if even there was no screenplay at all.

Analysis

What is the difference between a regular rom-com and ‘Unarvugal Thodarkadhai’? The answer is none.

Yes, and that is the film’s essence in a nutshell. The story is nothing new, the idea for the narrative is nothing out of the box, and to top it all, the film is anything but fresh.

The film begins on a promising note, but after half an hour, all the promise vanishes in thin air. The runtime is not more than 1 hour and 50 minutes long. Yet, the sheer staleness in the narrative reduces the interest of the viewers.

The comic elements in this movie are far from rib-tickling. Initially, the film looks like an adaptation of ‘ Luka Chuppi Click to look into! >> Read More... ’. However, the film soon appears to be a confused mixture of ‘Shubh Mangal Savdhan’ and ‘ Geetha Govindam Click to look into! >> Read More... ’. The worst part is that the former two at least excelled in the entertainment quotient. This film is even devoid of that.

The film tries to focus on several issues in modern relationships. However, it barely touches any of them overall. This surface-level treatment is not something called for in a romantic comedy. Forget about comedy, even romance is hardly here in this film.

Is there anything good? Yes, it is the acting, but only of the lead pair. Irrespective of the movie’s flaws, Hrishikesh and Sherlin Seth unsuccessfully try to salvage the film by themselves. It was as if they were doing their best to make this film watchable. In some sequences, they succeed, but in others, they just don’t. The saddest part is that they weren’t at fault either.

What's There?

Only the acting performances of the lead actors

What's Not There?

Patchy plot integration
Surface-level treatment of issues
Extremely boring narrative
Editing that is simply not up to the mark

Verdict

‘Unarvugal Thodarkadhai’ is a movie that was not bad on paper, but the execution was. The film could have been a complete train wreck, had the lead pair not given their best.
