Chikku
Bukku
is
out
and
out
a
colorful
entertainer
from
debutant
director
Manikandan
(student
of
late
Jeeva's
school).
Though
the
movie
looks
like
a
copy
of
many
Bollywood
movies,
the
presentation
by
the
director
makes
the
audience
to
sit
and
enjoy
the
film
till
the
end.
Arjun
(Aarya)
lives
with
his
grandmother.
Once,
she
asks
him
to
go
back
to
his
home
town
in
Karaikudi
to
reclaim
his
ancestral
property.
Anu
(Shreya)
is
a
modern,
mischievous
girl,
who
completed
MBA
in
London
and
coming
back
to
Madurai.
At
a
point,
Arjun
and
Anu
meet
at
Bangalore
airport.
Their
onward
flight
to
Madurai
gets
canceled.
But
situation
makes
them
to
pretend
like
newly
married
couple
so
that
they
can
travel
on
a
canceled
railway
ticket
to
Madurai.
Meanwhile,
there
is
an
interesting
flashback
during
the
journey
as
well.
How
they
fall
in
love
and
what
happens
next
forms
an
interesting
climax.
For
the
first
time,
Aarya
has
done
dual
role
as
a
father
and
son
in
Chikku
Bukku.
His
performance
in
both
the
roles
are
simply
awesome.
Shreya
looks
cute
in
some
scenes
but
irritates
in
many
scenes.
She
has
to
work
on
her
looks.
Debutant
Preeta
Rao
is
the
real
surprise
and
her
performance
is
a
delight
to
watch.
Aarya
-
Preeta's
screen
chemistry
workouts
largely
and
make
them
as
a
perfect
couple.
As
usual,
Santhanam
has
given
rib
tickling
comedy
in
most
of
the
scenes.
Colonial
Cousins
music
is
not
appealing.
Gurudev's
camera
work
is
excellent
and
helps
to
maintain
the
pleasant
mood
through
out
the
film.
The
big
minus
is
the
slow
pace
of
the
script
and
narration.
