Oru Naal Koothu (ஒரு நாள் கூத்து)

 

Direction: Nelson

Music: Justin Prabhakaran

Cast: Dinesh, Mia George, Pethuraj

Oru Naal Koothu is an Tamil comedy drama film directed by Nelson and produced by J. Selva Kumar, featuring Dinesh, Mia George and Nivetha Pethuraj in the leading roles.  

When we’ve seen many guys chasing and pleading girls to marry them, there could be certain instances of a girl trying to get her man’s approval for marriage. But as you watch Riythvika do so, there seems to be a sort of disagreement, but yes, it happens in life, perhaps not known to all in the neighborhood. Amongst all the characterizations, it’s Mia George who inhales the role of a desolated girl. You could have seen such ones around you. 

They are beautiful, so genuine, good natured and well educated, but their marriage proposals keep delayed. Then, there is Nivetha, an IT employee who hails from a rich sophisticated white collared family in love with the inferior complex bound Attakathi Dinesh. Perhaps, their tale is something inspired from the urban backdrops and it might be a miniscule reflection, but not a favourite episode for all to seem part away. And then, there is Karunakaran, the anxious brother in desperate mode to get his younger sister Riythvika married. His emotions and earnest works to get her settled is an unspoken replica of many out there in our own streets. 

With the characterizations and drama, Nelson has made it justified, though the trailer and songs would have given a clear impact that it’s all about ‘Marriage’ and ‘Celebrations’.

On the flip side, there isn’t much that you could keep it pondering up, but certain episodes, particularly the one with Riythvika could have been trimmed and made yet more finer. Justin’s musical score in background applies more impact for the emotions of actors and Gokul’s cinematography as well.

Having picked handful of characters, the film tries to traverse through their lives, which face their own issues of inner and external conflicts. Oru Naal Koothu could be given a casual try to just spend some quality time of relaxation.
