A quirky dark comedy that's engaging in parts

Soppana Sundari is quite a decent attempt, but it lacks punch to make us fall in love with it.(more)

2.50

A delectable dark comedy that stays true to its genre

All that said, the film is not devoid of weaknesses. There are certain moments where regressive thoughts plague it. For instance, in a moment Agalya propagates the importance of a woman losing her virginity to a husband rather than outside wedlock. But there is a crucial turn to this scene where there is a sense of subversion, but it doesn�t land effectively. In another moment, Agalya is concerned about her ageing sister not getting married, and agrees to give a dowry, but, fortunately, the writing doesn�t dwell too much on this aspect. This apart, an additional dose of melodrama in the second half, and the constant cat-and-mouse chase tends to become a tad bit extra, which tests our patience.(more)
