Irumbu Kuthirai - Totters To The Finish Line

The basic problem with IK is that it fails to make any sort of emotional connect with the audience. And when the plot itself actually depends on the emotional turmoil of it's protagonist this is definitely a dampener. For a film that involves racing, the film moves at a rather slow speed. The short running time turns into a saving grace for the film. (more)

Prithvi, a young man, is haunted by his past and despite his mother's attempts, refuses to come out of his shell.

Irumbu Kuthirai has an interesting (if familiar) premise about a young man forced to let go of his past by having to confront it. Here, Prithvi, who is doing his CA and working part-time as a pizza delivery boy, is trapped by guilt and blames himself for the death of his father in a motorcycle accident. This has made him wary of riding a bike but his understanding mom tries to get him back in the groove but is unsuccessful. She even chides him when he acts like a model son. However, everything changes when Prithvi sees Samyuktha. He falls in love with her and to make her reciprocate his love, develops a friendly relationship with her. She is a "bike Wikipedia" and forces him into buying a superbike. (more)
