The only purpose it served was to elongate the movie and give the proceedings a "rubbery" quality. It was understandable that Richa hides her pregnancy from Ajith initially, but where was the need to keep telling the lie into the 5th, 6th month of the pregnancy and later. It is only after the marriage that the hollowness of the story comes to the fore. Srividya's character does suffer a little, what with her over-emphasis on getting a "vaarisu" for her family at any cost. The events surrounding both the parents' reaction to the marriage is one of the high points in the movie, with everyone performing very well in the ensuing melodrama. The initial portion of the movie, where Ajith and Richa fall in love and eventually get married, moves at a reasonable pace and is handled well overall, although one does wish that the director had put a little more focus into their love. How/ Whether the lies get resolved and the baby issue is settled forms the rest of the story. (Ajith's mother) desiring the couple to have a child and Ajith not wanting to have a baby thinking it might harm Richa's flailing health. Now the story takes a different twist with Srividya
After some interesting melodramatic moments between Richa,Ījith's parents (Srividya and Sarathbabu), and Richa's parents (Ambika and Mohan - a Telugu actor), Ajith gets married to Richa with no one telling Ajith that Richa is actually a healthy woman.
Not surprisingly, Ajith and Richa fall in love with each other. In order to win one of her bets with her friends, Richa ends up fooling Ajit into thinking that she has brain tumour - but Richa is not aware that Ajith has the same illness too. Ajith is a terminally-ill cancer patient and Richa is a care-free young girl who loves to fool others with practical jokes. The story and some of the treatment seems to have been "inspired" by Mani Ratnam's Idhayaththaith Thirudaadhe. it just makes one wonder what it might have been if only the director had NOT got herself stuck with such a weak story-line. It is a clean movie with no masala stuff (other than the songs) and no comedy-track. Sushma's first directorial venture in Tamil, Uyirodu Uyiraaga, is refreshingly different in this respect. These days it is very rare to find movies that focus fully on the story at hand, and not meander about with unnecessary and often stupid comedy elements that are targeted for the so-called front-benchers.
