Nithya is a good example of how to make a character happy and bubbly but not a Manic Pixie Dream Girl. It was a clever scene as it was not just about her own past, but advice for her boy on how to move on.
She advises Gautham that you can either dwell on the past and be sad about your loss, or remember all the good things and take that happiness into your future. She is an intelligent, positive woman who had been widowed when her kids were in their early teens. He has context, a background that had helped make him the guy he is.
Some of my affection for Gautham stems from seeing him with his mum. It is so nice to see good parenting in a close mother-son relationship (maybe I’ve been watching too much 70s Nirupa Roy). Gautham’s mother Revathi (Rohini) is my new favourite filmi ma. He really does change in some significant ways, and learns to recognise and deal with the parts of his own nature that he doesn’t like. I also like Gautham’s developing self awareness through the story. His journey takes some crazy detours, but that was part of the fun, not a silly distraction. When he realises what he wants to do about his feelings, he does it. I could relate to the things that triggered his tears, and sadness permeated his body language at times. I found his portrayal of Gautham’s grief really moving. But Nani doesn’t play Gautham as all happy and smiling.

Plus he seems to have a sense of the ridiculous that was very endearing in this role. Nani is an appealing guy next door kind of hero. The story is mostly told from his perspective, so I felt that I got to know him better, and I appreciated Nithya through his eyes as he came to understand her more. He has family, good friends, failed romances and a flair for the dramatic. It is obvious that they make a good couple, but will they ever get it together? Guess away, dear reader. She has her own complications that emerge over time. His feelings deepen but he is reticent struggling to know when to speak out and not sure what he really wants to tell her. Gautham and Nithya cross paths again, and a warm friendship develops. No judgements were made relating to alcohol or failed affairs. I really love that the next day they could talk to each other, be embarrassed, laugh it off and that was it.
