The Good
- Chemistry Between Leads: Dulquer Salmaan and Nithya Menen are delightful together. Their natural, easy-going rapport carries the film. Nithya, in particular, shines as the independent, pragmatic Sheela, bringing depth to what could have been a one-dimensional love interest.
- Charming First Half: The film opens with breezy humor, quirky observations about modern relationships, and some genuinely funny moments. The nostalgic school flashbacks are sweet without being overdone.
- Lighthearted Tone: If you’re looking for a low-stakes, feel-good rom-com with no heavy drama, this fits the bill. It has a cozy, indie-movie vibe.
- Music & Visuals: The soundtrack (by Gopi Sundar) is pleasant, and the cinematography captures a warm, youthful energy.
The Mixed / Not-So-Good
- Pacing Issues: The middle portion drags significantly. The "100 days" gimmick feels stretched, and some repetitive scenes could have been trimmed.
- Underdeveloped Supporting Cast: Characters like Balaraman’s roommate or colleagues are quirky but largely forgettable. They don’t add much to the plot or humor beyond surface-level antics.
- Predictable Plot: There are no major surprises. If you’ve seen any "persistent guy woos reluctant girl" rom-com, you know exactly where this is going. The climax feels rushed and a bit too convenient.
- Balaraman’s Character: While Dulquer is likable, his character’s initial stalker-ish persistence (showing up uninvited, not taking "no" seriously) might not age well for all viewers. The film tries to frame it as romantic determination.
