Sundar
C, it seems,
has decided
to do only
those films
which hardly
have any
semblance of
a story. The
man, who has
made amazing
films in 'Anbae
Sivam' and a
superhit
Rajni-starrer
'Arunachalam',
appears to
have decided
not to use
those
story-writing
skills in
his own
film. Badri,
who had
earlier
teamed up
with Sundar
C in making
Mohan Lal's
award
winning film
in Tamil as
'Veeraappu',
resurfaces
again in 'Aindham
Padai'.

Badri too
appears to have
decided to give
all kinds of
logic a go-by
while making
this particular
movie.
Aindham Padai:
Gallery
It's a story
about five
brothers: Elder
one Gunasekaran
(Nasser),
Karunakaran (Thodanna),
Prabhakaran (Sundar
C) and couple of
younger brothers
Dinakaran (Mukesh)
and another one
(Vivek). As the
story proceeds,
a plot about
enmity with
other family
unravels where
Devasena (Simran)
is a pampered
daughter.
Gunasekaran is
kind enough in
breaking the
hardships and
getting united
by arranging
nuptials for
Devasena with
his brother
Karunakaran.
However,
Devasena
mistakes
Prabhakaran to
be her
bridegroom. When
things are
unraveled and
Prabhakaran
turns away from
Devasena's offer
of marrying him,
she vows to
alienate him
from his family
by marrying
Karunakaran.
Sundar C
doesn't bother
emoting properly
in any sequence.
Simran is quite
good and gets a
meaty character
after 'Vaaranam
Aayiram'.
Badri's decision
to add songs for
Devayani and
Simran with
Sundar looks a
bit odd , to put
it very mildly.
Even more
baffling is the
fact that five
brothers in the
same family
manage to speak
in different
slangs. While
one of them
speaks with a
typical Chennai
accent, another
brother (Vivek)
stumps you with
his Thirunalveli
Annachi style
and another as a
rowdy.
Musical score
by D. Imman
isn't convincing
and so does the
other technical
aspects like
editing and
cinematography.
If you keep
mum on the
logics and put
off your brains,
'Aindham Padai'
would be
enjoyable.
