I don’t know whether director wrote the district collector character
to be women or changed it when Nayanthara was on board. Whatever it maybe, the
female IAS officer has added the movie more authenticity. The decisions which
Madhivadani (Nayanthara) takes towards the end of the film are emotional ones
which we can’t see in a hero-centric films. We are used to hero diving into the
situation, however tough it is, and completing the mission.
The film is about the rescue mission of a small girl, Thanshika,
who falls down inside an unclosed borewell hole. This is not that one day or
one incident (like Gautham Menon’s hero tells) of Madhivadani, rather the issue
is given more importance. So the most we know about Madhivadani is her name. The
news channel debate that fills in the gap between two scenes is little annoying
as it stresses the same point that of people of the village.
The people of village and their dialogues are mere
reflection of reality. The cinematography adds value to the realism. The dialogues
are sensible as there a dialogue goes differentiating administrators and
politicians. The core plot does not get diluted even though there are scenes
and dialogues apart from the core issue.
The interval scene where the girl will be pulled out of the
hole brings you to edge of the seat and you start praying for the rescue
operation to be successful. In a similar way, the whole film connects everyone
emotionally. Ghibran’s background score helped big time for such intense
emotions.
Verdict: Intense story shown with at most realism.
