36 Vayadhinile(36 Vayathinile) Movie Review: Entertainment Intertwined With A Valuable Message!
Jyothika is back on the big screen through 36 Vayadhinile(36 Vayathinile) to entertain one and all. But her comeback movie might not target entertainment alone, why? Continue to read our review.
36 Vayadhinile Plot:
Jyothika's husband, played by Rahman, decides to move to Ireland along with his family for their own betterment. Unfortunately, Jyothika is denied visa from an Irish firm as she has just turned 36.
Rest of the film deals with the same concept as to what a 36 year old Indian woman goes through in her day to day life, from realizing that she has sacrificed everything for her family to being considered less important by her teenage daughter.
In a cinematic twist, Jyothika gets a chance to meet the Indian President. She suddenly becomes the centre of attraction, in a wrong way, as she faints right in front of the President and becomes a laughing stock wherever she goes, which includes almost all social media networks.
Considering this as an embarrassment and an opportunity to fly to Ireland, Rahman along with his daughter moves to the foreign nation as planned earlier, leaving Jyothika behind.
What forms the crux of this story is how Jyothika decides to chase her dreams, inspired by her friend, played by Abhirami, as she finally gives herself a chance to be what she has always dreamt of being.
Performances:
As expected, Jyothika literally carries the entire film on her shoulders, brilliantly portraying an average middle aged woman. She will make you laugh and cry with her expressions alone.
Rahman and other other supporting cast have done justice to their respective roles. While Siddharth Basu makes you believe that he is the actual President of India, Abhirami's characterization is not as convincing as it should've been, one might feel.
Technicalities:
What stands out in the entire movie is Viji's dialogues, for it is laced with humour even while conveying a serious message. Both message and the humour hits you hard and makes the entire film believable.
While the screenplay is almost perfect in the first half, it gets a bit too hasty in the second half giving us the impression that the director wants to finish the movie quickly.
Cinematography by R Diwakaran is neat as he has not attempted anything extravagant. Editor Mahesh Narayanan has made an honest attempt with a run time of 1 hour and 55 minutes which is refreshing.
Background score by Santhosh Narayanan adds stability and strength as it helps the movie in conveying its message.
Overall View:
Overall, 36 Vayadhinile is a perfect comeback film for Jyothika as it entertains and gifts you a valuable message that can be carried along from theatre to home.
Check out the slides below for some of the best scenes and a few interesting trivia about the movie:
