Ayothi
released
worldwide
in
theatres
today
with
a
sensational
title
and
a
thrilling
plot.
The
film
had
a
special
press
preview
yesterday.
Balram
(Yashpal
Sharma),
an
ardent
Rama
devotee
with
a
patriarchal
mentality
that
anything
and
everything
is
the
law,
takes
his
wife,
daughter
and
son
and
travels
to
Rameswaram
on
a
Diwali
day.
Arriving
in
Madurai
at
night,
the
family
hires
a
car
and
goes
to
Rameswaram;
On
the
way,
the
car
crashes.
In
this
Balram's
wife
(Janaki)
dies.
While
autopsies
are
customary
for
people
who
die
in
accidents,
Sharma
insists
that
their
culture
does
not
allow
autopsies.
Has
Janaki's
body
finally
undergone
an
autopsy?
What
is
the
condition
of
Sasikumar
who
came
to
help
them?
Answers
to
such
questions
are
the
story
of
the
movie
Ayothi!
Yashpal
Sharma,
who
plays
a
northern
Hindu,
Anju
Asrani,
who
plays
his
wife
Janaki,
and
Preeti,
who
plays
their
daughter
are
the
main
characters
of
the
film.
Especially
the
debutant
Preethi
gives
a
great
performance.
Sasikumar,
who
plays
the
role
of
helping
someone
in
all
films,
has
the
same
role
in
this
film;
Apart
from
Sasikumar,
the
film's
weakness
is
that
the
characters
does
not
make
a
big
impact.
Apart
from
them,
none
of
the
characters
in
the
film
(including
Pugazh)
stick
in
our
mind.
Every
scene
director
Manthira
Moorthy
is
overflowing
with
emotion;
Similarly,
the
way
he
made
his
actors
to
perform
with
each
character
was
also
good.
But
that
alone
is
not
enough
for
a
film.
Moreover,
the
film
has
a
protagonist
Sasikumar.
Does
the
director
has
enough
space
for
Sasikumar
in
the
film?
The
question
arises
here.
The
reason
is
that
Sasikumar's
role
of
Abdul
Khaliq
can
be
felt
only
in
the
scene
where
he
crosses
religion
and
becomes
human
in
the
film's
climax.
Music
composer
Raghunandan
has
tried
his
best
in
the
background
music
even
though
the
songs
of
the
film
did
not
attract
much
attention.
Traveling
from
Kashi
to
Rameswaram,
Madesh
Manikam's
camera
eyes
capture
the
scenes
well.
'Ayothi'
would
have
been
noticed
if
the
attention
paid
to
emotion
had
been
paid
a
little
to
the
screenplay!
