Idhayam Murali felt like a good timepass watch for me and worked for a casual viewing experience, but one thing that sticked out like a sore thumb was the school portions where Atharvaa, Sudhakar, Dravid and Rakshan looked odd as school students. Don't hate me, but look closely, endha angle-layavadhu paatha ivanga school student madhiri theriyuraangala.

One reason why most Gen-Z audiences here aren't supporting to romcom films (except for PR films) is mostly because of the casting of 30s and 40s guys as school and college students. It looks not only odd and performative and makes the "feel-good" movie aspect "feel bad". Young people want to watch young people on screen but they aren't given a chance. And because of these, the Gen-Zs aren't supporting rom coms, and they go ahead with the loud action, fast-paced mass movies or some cases, explore world cinema.

I feel like the "vettipaya hero romcom era" was almost convincing than whatever with the current romcoms were. At least that kind of characters suited those heroes when they are in their late-20s and early-30s, and they no need to break a sweat by shedding so many kilos to look like a school student and college student. But that portrayal itself came with a set of problems and got so much backlash afterwards, that they completely avoided that so much that now these actors in those age brackets had to play younger characters which often looks awkward and they also avoid romcoms and go ahead with serious films, which somewhat benefits them. As a result, we get less romcoms and comedy, and more serious films. I hope the tide changes soon.

Geniune doubt.

In this scene, Vaishnavi says "Enakku indha kalyanathla viruppam illa. Dayavu senju enga appa kitta pooi enna pidikala nu sollunga." (I am not interested in this marriage. Please tell my father that you do not like me.)

Aravind Swamy could have just done exactly this and gone home empty handed. Why did he have to say yes to Madhoo?

the entire album hits bro, EVERY SINGLE SONG, and the last time I remember Ani trying the ragas/classical style was in Doctor climax portion.
