3 - Why this story di?

Kolaveri hit created so much hype that whatever might have been the kind of movie, it would have been less than expectation (to those who flocked theatres with such expectation). Leaving Kolaveri hype, Dhanush-Aish-Shruthi combination hype and whatever hype that had surrounded this movie, it is a pretty decently presented movie from a good team.

Dhanush is brilliant as usual. Whoever might be the director, whatever might be the kind of movie, Dhanush always meets his standards. It is such a difficult state to obtain and not many actors have reached that level of stability. Dhanush has reached that level of consistency it at this young age. Great!

Shruthi Hassan continues to confuse me ;) I couldn't come to a conclusion whether she is  sleek & beautiful or dull, whether her dialogue delivery is unique or kochai thamizh, her hard expressions are good or all expressions are coming out hard... So I wish to reserve comments. In this movie, she is nice to be watched.

While Marina showcased a relatively different Sivakarthikeyan, we can see typical Sivakarthikeyan in 3. I don't know whether there was any call-sheet with him, why suddenly pack him to Singapore? May be director wanted to give importance in 1st half to Sivakarthikeyan and 2nd half to Sunder Ramu. Sunder Ramu has brilliantly done this role of a patient and caring friend. More promising support roles to come from him.

Prabhu is majestic. Bhanupriya and Rohini did justice to their short roles.

Cinematography is an important factor for this movie which involves stages of life and Velraj has brought them on screen perfectly.

Songs by Anirudh are very good. Kolaveri is the only song which was kind of out of synch, all other songs blended with the movie and all are hummable. BGMs were nicely supporting the movie without disturbing.

Finally about Director Aishwarya R. Dhanush. No first movie amateurishness. Given the story, overall flow of movie, great romance, drawing out contributions from each role..everything is perfect. But it is the story which kind of brought in negative reviews to this movie. Looks like tragic 2nd half is forced into script. Definitely looking forward to see better attempts from Aishwarya
