Shiva's
films
guarantee
entertainment,
but
Sonna
Puriyadhu,
which
revolves
around
Shiva,
who
is
commitment
phobic
and
hates
the
idea
of
marriage,
fails
in
the
effort
of
delivering
a
wholesome
entertainer.
What
it
does
manage
to
deliver
finally
is
not
even
remotely
close
to
other
films
of
Shiva
such
as
Chennai
600028
and
Thillu
Mullu.
Handicapped
by
a
weak
screenplay,
the
movie
is
satirical
and
funny
in
parts,
but
never
makes
you
laugh
out
loud
like
you're
expected
to
do
in
a
Shiva-starrer.
Shiva
plays
a
dubbing
artiste,
lending
voice
to
English
films.
He
has
an
aversion
towards
the
idea
of
marriage
and
hates
being
in
a
commitment.
However,
his
life
takes
unexpected
turns
when
his
mother
blackmails
him
to
meet
a
girl
(Anjali)
of
her
choice.
But
Shiva
has
plans
of
his
own
to
rule
out
the
idea
of
marriage
with
Anjali.

Story
What
follows
is
funny
occasionally,
but
rather
juvenile
in
its
attempt.
The
idea
to
stall
the
marriage
of
Anjali
and
Shiva
doesn't
quite
go
down
well
with
the
audiences,
who
are
left
with
the
option
of
either
laughing
for
the
heck
of
it
or
ignore
the
passe
effort
to
entertain.
Shiva
And
Vasundhara
Kashyap
Some
of
the
best
humour
comes
from
the
scene
where
Shiva
and
his
friend
are
seen
dubbing
for
English
films.
It's
hilarious
and
certainly
becomes
the
perfect
icing
on
the
cake
to
provide
some
momentary
laughs
in
the
film.
Plot
What
happens
between
Anjali
and
Shiva
reach
an
end
most
of
us
would've
expected
midway.
Had
the
director
planned
to
have
an
alternate
ending
then
I'm
sure
people
would
have
loved
the
effort
put
in
to
build
an
unconventional
premise.
Supporting
Role
The
role
played
by
Vatsala
as
Shiva's
grandmother
is
delightful
to
watch.
It's
surprising
how
this
one
particular
character
is
so
modern
and
forward
thinking,
while
the
film
struggles
to
stay
away
from
certain
cliches
that
could
have
been
easily
avoided.
Shiva
And
Vasundhara
Shiva
did
all
that
he
could
to
save
the
film
from
going
down
the
path
that
several
comedy
flicks
over
the
years
have
travelled.
He
doesn't
have
a
strong
supporting
cast
that
he
could
rely
on.
Vasundhara
doesn't
play
her
part
with
conviction,
while
the
rest
of
the
actors
have
nearly
meaningless
parts
to
essay.
Verdict
Krishnan
handles
the
film
promisingly,
but
you
don't
see
the
urge
in
him
to
make
it
a
memorable
film.
Sonna
Puriyadhu
is
definitely
an
effort
worth
taking
notice
but
it
doesn't
make
you
want
to
cheer
for
it.
