They resent it and collude to find ways to stop the 'doom' as they see it. Marriage between the two is fixed by the elders. Ganga (Jyothika) is a cheerful village belle who wants to do her degree in Engineering. Judging by the evidence of Dum Dum Dum has what it takes to come up with a box office bonanza.Adhi (Madhavan) is a fun-loving city man. The real star, though, is director Azhagam Perumal.

InterestinglyĮnough, Ilayaraja's eldest son once told me that he enjoys doing background even more than tuning the songs themselves - and that love for background comes across very clearly in this film. Karthik Raja comes up with a couple of hummable numbers, but it is the background score that is really noteworthy. The camera is understated (again, in contrast to Mani Ratnam's patented style). Mannivannan, Delhi Kumar and other central players are equally assured, making for a film where the cast lives up to the demands of a well-etched script. The surprise package is Murali, the veteran character actor from Kerala making his Tamil debut in the role of Jyotika's father, and turning in a measured performance. Madhavan and Jyotika, the lead pair, are perfectly cast, and perform as per expectations. Theīackdrop is just there, integral to the story but never intruding into it. You don't find the director going hey, look, this is a milieu film, or going overboard on the use of sets and props to underline it. But there is never any attempt to put it in the spotlight. The interesting thing about this setting of the film in down-deep Tamil Nadu is that the milieu comes across clearly. The film is set in Ambasamudram, with the characters adhering to the Nellai dialect of Tamil and pulling it off quite well.

That's what the rest of the movie is about. And they live happily ever after - but how? There, they meet, their friendship burgeons into love. The wedding is off - which is what Madhavan and Jyotika wanted all along, right? Wrong.īut there's nothing they can do about it, so the former goes off to the city and soon after, so does Jyotika, to continue her studies. Just when the two are moving from resignation to anticipation, however, a completely unexpected misunderstanding throws the wedding party into an uproar, and puts the fathers of the boy and girl at loggerheads. And resign themselves to the inevitability of the event.Īs so often happens, once you accept a situation, you begin to see its good points - Madhavan and Jyotika are no exceptions to this rule. On the night before the wedding, the couple get some space and privacy, to chat. And with just 12 hours to go, the marriage is as good as a done deal. The best laid plans of mice, men and Madhavan, though, go awry. So they put their heads together and plot to get the wedding called off.

Jyotika, meanwhile, has ranked high in her Plus Two exams and wants to study further.īottomline, neither of them is in favour of the marriage. Marriage, he believes, will curtail his 'fun'. Madhavan, though, is your typical city-slicker - fast cars, beer, babes. The parents of Madhavan and Jyotika decide to unite the two in wedlock.

Storywise, Perumal takes an age-old tale, and gives it a little tweak. There are others more subtle, but equally evident as you watch the Madhavan-Jyotika starrer that shows promise of good legs at the box office. Perumal's debut, however, is set against the backdrop of interior Tamil Nadu, and stays true to the milieu he has chosen for his tale.Īnd that is the most visible sign of Perumal's having stepped out of the Mani Ratnam shadow. Mani is a 'city' director - at his best when telling tales set against a metropolitan ambience. But Perumal appears to have managed the tricky balancing act of imbibing the principles of nifty storytelling from his mentor, at the same time retaining his own idiom. That is not an easy thing to do, especially when you have learnt the ropes under a stylised director like Mani. Not because he showed skill in getting good performances from his stars and support team.īut because he has, despite starting out as assistant to Mani Ratnam, managed to retain his own filmmaking identity and voice. Not because the fledgeling director came up with some eminently enjoyable flair. Not because the film seems to have struck sparks at the box office. Not because his debut film - Dum Dum Dum - shows signs of much promise.
