Although nearly everything is perfect, there are a few portions of the movie which could have been explained better, for the lack of which, they stand out as sore thumb in sharp contrast against the otherwise wholesome story. Unanswered questions include running away of Maya’s friend at the mention of police, and also the identity of his parents that is mysteriously under wraps. The question of the future of the lovey-dovey couple that eloped is also left unanswered. Lack of masala is compensated for in the magical sudden transformation of Maya’s emotions in the end.
However, these small hitches do not hamper the otherwise perfect picture at large. Based on a journey in a lorry, rolling out under the title inspired by the lines on many such beasts, ‘Nerungi Vaa Muthamidathe’ is a path-breaking movie in Tamil cinema history.
