One reason why Aambala ends up as a mild disappointment (especially for fans of the director’s comedies) is because of how convenient most plot developments are. Saravanan just lands up at his native place and finds his dad immediately. Maya conveniently turns out to be his aunt’s daughter so that he will not have any dilemma in choosing between love and his father’s wish. The police station at the place is empty just in time for them to pose as cops. When Saravanan gets arrested, Rajashekar turns up in the next scene after having gone missing on screen till then. Even the villain makes things simple by boasting about his hand in Aalavandhan’s father’s death just before the climax so that it is easy for the sisters and their brother to patch-up.
