Subbu is shown to feel bad for dragging Darling’s mother and sister to the court. The women in the film, including Subbu, seem like mere pawns in the court case that follows. Her brother-in-law, a criminal lawyer, decides to avenge not just Darling, but also his family (his mother, sister, and brother-in-law) because Darling insults him over a call.

Even as she tells him in anger that she can take care of it without his support, he insists on abortion.Īfter this mid-way point, the film transforms from a romantic comedy to a relationship feud. He calls it an accidental, unnecessary pregnancy, which needs immediate abortion. Meanwhile, Subbu and Darling continue their relationship for several months.

When he meets Subbu (Divyabharathi), a coworker and his friend’s flatmate, he immediately desires her. He and his gang of close-knit friends from Coimbatore work at an IT firm in Bangalore. These leisurely paced slice-of-life scenes, accompanied by a delightful background score, also make the film seem more real.īy now, we know that Darling is hardly aware of anything else apart from his own needs. The director employs a lot of close-ups and slow-motion shots, for instance, to show the preparation of chicken biryani in one scene and sweet pongal in another.
