Absolutely Fantastic
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Verude Alla Bharya had a story and a good message. But this one is simply a remake with no difference at all.The story is so inept that you feel the title should've been Bharthava Athra Pora (Husband Is Not Enough). Jayaram's character is disloyal drunkard who finds fancy in Facebook & love affairs with young women. How it destroys his family is the story and it feels the plot is made up of many ordinary plots. The acting causes hypertension. Cast is, generally good. But the child artists need to learn a lot.With so annoying the plot, the music is a relief. But the songs were not required. After first half, the experience turns awry and boredom enters your mind. Yes, it has some references to harsh realities surrounding social networking, but the wine is not old enough to appeal.BOTTOM LINE: Nothing new in this exaggerated melodrama. 3.3/10.Can be watched with a typical Indian family?
