The enigma of the narrative rests in the tragedy of their love story: the knowledge that their minds and souls are highly compatible but the union of their bodies is impossible. The film works well as long as this status quo is maintained. But the second half tries to rehabilitate the male protagonist with a way out of the dead-end. To enable this, the rom-com turns into a thriller, involving Divya’s twin Kavya.
As the narrative prepares the ground for Venkat’s union with Divya’s lookalike, it takes the sting out of the romance.
Despite the sluggishness of the second half, the film is worth a watch. It also leaves one wondering about what to expect next: a supernatural-family drama perhaps?
