Movie Review
This movie is a quiet and emotional drama that focuses on Madhan, a 23-year-old introverted guy who struggles to even speak comfortably with women. Because of his fear and awkwardness, people around him think he needs to be “fixed” and take him to a salon run by sex workers. From there, the film slowly opens up into something deeper and more meaningful.
Story
At the salon, Madhan meets Radhi, a young sex worker who is calm, honest, and surprisingly warm. Their first interaction is awkward, filled with silence and hesitation. But as they talk, things slowly change. Simple conversations begin to break Madhan’s fear, and he starts questioning the ideas he has grown up with about masculinity, intimacy, and relationships. The film doesn’t rush these moments—it lets them breathe.
Direction
Director Praveen K. Mani takes a very natural approach. The film starts slowly and may feel dragging at first, but once it settles, the storytelling feels smooth and real. Instead of forcing dramatic scenes, the director allows the actors to express themselves freely, making many moments feel unscripted and honest.
Emotional Turn
When Madhan begins to feel safe and hopeful, Radhi’s harsh reality comes crashing back. A painful truth changes everything between them. Her decision to finally stand up for herself becomes a powerful moment in the film, leaving a deep impact on Madhan and making him realise that some connections come into our lives only for a short time.

If you like character-driven stories with strong emotions and simple storytelling, this film is worth watching. For others expecting mass entertainment, it may feel slow—but for the right audience, it leaves a lasting impression.
