Vasantha Mullai Movie Review: Bobby Simha’s Unique Fantasy Film Doesn’t Work For All!

Rudran (Bobby Simha), who works in the software industry, is on the run with the overwhelming stress of the workload, unable to even spare time for his wife. His health-conscious wife Nila (Kashmira Pardeshi), crying and sullen, takes Rudran on a trip to a hill station. They stay at an old hotel on the way back from the tour. There, a villainous figure tries to attack and kill them. The story revolves around the action of Rudran to escape from him and who is hiding inside the villainous image.

Debutant director Ramanan Purushottama has set the screenplay as a 'life-death' struggle of the main characters who are stuck in a time loop and face the same events over and over again and try to recover from it. The director has shown his high social concern through the final scene which establishes that in fact it is not a 'time loop' concept.

Cast selection, art direction, cinematography, music and quality 'making' have given a tireless movie watching experience. Rather than lecturing on the pressures of the software industry, Rudran's way of establishing the problem through a few scenes and a song is elegant.Meanwhile, the opening scene where extreme stress gives one superhuman strength is basically 'heroic' trash. Similarly, the director failed to connect the relevance and connection with the character of Rudran and Nila with the rustic look of Rudran and Nila's hostel and the villain's character being designed as if it were in computer games.

Bobby Simha, who has been following the influence of Rajini's body language in his acting for a long time, has made it feel like 'Rudran' in this film, just as he has done it in the last few films. Kashmira Paradeshi's performance as a wife who struggles to save her husband from the pressures of work is perfect. She also impresses in acting with a certain amount of glamour.

Arya comes in two scenes but gives a mature performance. Kochu Preman, who plays the receptionist of the hotel, and Sarath Babu, who plays the doctor, are noteworthy. You can enjoy 'Vasantha Mullai', which tries to tell interestingly in a new field with a medical perspective that the work life of the software industry is a different world.
