Kaatrin Mozhi, Jyothika's latest film, sees her join hands with Radha Mohan after their critically acclaimed project Mozhi. It is the official Tamil remake of Tumhari Sulu. Also starring Lakshmi Manchu, Vidarth and Kumaravel in crucial roles, read ahead to see how it fares.
The story revolves around Vijayalakshmi(Jyothika) who wants to follow her heart and do anything that inspires her at the moment. She looks at a job advertisement for a receptionist in a gym and wants to take it up. Similarly, she sees an ad for an RJ and applies for it. How her life changes once she gets the job forms the crux of the story.
Director Radha Mohan ticks the right boxes with the casting, including the cameo appearances by STR and Yogi Babu. MS Bhaskar, Lakshmi Manchu and Kumaravel stand out with top notch performances. Jyothika once again hits it out of the park with her emotions. The film shows Jyothika as a feminist, and the true success of the film lies in the fact that a lot of housewives across the state can relate to the character - Vijayalakshmi. However, we have seen Jyothika in a similar shade of characterization already in 36 Vayadhinilae, Magalir Mattum, and due to that, a certain amount of freshness is lacking.
Vijayalakshmi faces opposition from her sisters, father and husband. When she argues against them, she doesn't ask them to leave the house. She tells them that she will always come back to them because they're her family. Moments like these make this a very realistic film. Jyothika and Radha Mohan rarely go overboard with the scenes, acting, or dialogues.
There are moments that are melodramatic, but the other scenes compensate for them. The scenes where MS Bhaskar and Vidharth have an emotional breakdown strike a chord with the audience. We also get a climax that is perfectly logical and buyable..
