Taramani (Tamil) 2017

Taramani (Tamil) 2017: This isn't a movie for everyone. All those who are expecting it to be an entertainer like other movies would surely be disappointed. The major minus point is its pace which is too slow at many places that it gives one a feeling that this is an art movie presented in commercial format. 

I even felt as if watching someone's real life on screen.. If you keep these things aside, then movie stands on wonderful and steering performance by Andrea Jeremiah, who plays an Anglo-Indian lady Diya, who doesn't seem to follow set rules by the society, but at core she is a class apart and lives her life as per her own terms, also a wonderful human being at heart, sadly no one sees it, except her ex-husband and the hero who only understands her true nature towards the end, by which time it becomes too late. He is one from the society who misunderstands her true nature. 

 The other wonderful performance is by the lead Vasanth Ravi, who plays Prabhunath, a care-free unemployed youngster, who is depressed due to love failure, meets Diya during heavy rain, Their relationship slowly develops into friendship, love and break-up. In fact, he goes on to meet other women who make him to realize his mistake indirectly and also change his perception of Diya.

 At core it is a well developed woman oriented movie that speaks valid points at times, The only downers are the things I had mentioned earlier. This is one of the best performances of Andrea to-date, your heart goes out for her during her turmoil for sure!

 Also Vasanth Ravi is equally good. They both are well supported by other characters in this movie. Even those who have played small roles have left a significant impact on the movie.

My rating is 3.5/5. See it if you want to see something meaning full, if you are expecting to see an entertainer then you can give this a miss.
