Has director Vikraman run out of ideas? This is what
one feels after watching his latest film Unnai Ninaithu.
The film is nothing but a rehash of his earlier hits and is
long winded and extremely slow paced mainly due to
illogical story, songs pushed into the narrative and a
jarring comedy track.
The story is set in an old mansion turned into a lodge.
Surya (Surya) is the receptionist and he is an honest to
goodness guy. His friend and sidekick is Ramesh Kanna
and both run the lodge very efficiently. When a new
manager takes charge of the lodge his family too comes
to stay in the neighbourhood. The manager’s daughter
Radha (Sneha) has a soft corner for Surya, but soon she
realizes that Nirmala (Laila) was his lover and she used
to stay in the same house before. Nirmala’s father
(Thalaivasal Vijay) had no job and in spite of being a
very bright student she was forced to stop her
education. Surya takes pity on the family and helps
them in his own way, and slowly he falls in love with
her. Nirmala’s parents encourage them and everything
is fine until a friend of Surya comes to stay with him.
He has an eye on Nirmala and while Surya is away for a
while he woos her family with lot of gifts and in no time,
Nirmala falls for his style and wealth. A shocked Surya
understands this betrayal by his lover and family and
slowly reconciles with his fate. On hearing Surya’s past,
Radha falls in love with him but never expresses it. One
day Surya realizes that Nirmala was taken for a ride and
our sacrificing hero once again helps the family by
giving them money for her education and soon she
becomes a doctor (!!). And in the usual railway station
climax, the hero not only chooses his love from both the
girls who are madly in love with him but also explains
the reason behind his decision.
The film is very slow and one feels that the story is as
old as the hills. The comedy track by the inmates of the
lodge like an astrologer and a quack doctor is boring.
The songs tuned by Sirpy reminds you of songs in
Vikraman’s earlier films and even the picturisations are
repetitive. Of the cast Surya is the only saving grace
while the girls Laila and Sneha has nothing much to do.
Ramesh Kanna, Charlie & Co are a pain.

There are a lot of speculations about
Venkat Prabhu's next with Suriya. The
film has Suriya, Nayanthara and Amy
Jackson playing the lead and Yuvan
Shankar Raja scoring the music. Since
Suriya is on the verge of completing his
project with Lingusaamy, Anjaan, he is
likely to start Venkat Prabhu's venture
soon.
The latest we hear about the film is that
it has been titled Poochandi. Considering
Venkat Prabhu's love for comedy, there
are expectations that the film will be
laced with humour and comedy. If it's a
horror comedy, which has been well
received in the recent past, it is sure to
do well at the BO. However, there has
no official confirmation, yet.
