This is a motion picture where the entire story functions as a statement, unlike films that simply contain one. The central character, Surya, appears to exist solely to perform acts of kindness. He even turns down a job opportunity because accepting it would benefit a friend who's been disowned by his family after marrying someone he chose! For much of the initial portion of the film, we witness Surya consistently offering assistance—paying a neighbor’s electricity bill, changing bedding for a patient in the hospital (who delivers a predictable line about how even a sweet child wouldn’t do such a thing), promising to take a kid to the park, and confronting men harassing a woman. This last action results in his arrest and only serves to draw further disapproval from his father, who frequently belittles him. These instances of good deeds are interwoven with an uninspired romantic subplot involving Surya and Shalini (Niranjana), the daughter of his father’s friend. She persistently tries to win his affection, but it's difficult to understand why he would be drawn to her, especially given that she often creates problems for him with his dad. Their musical numbers are equally lackluster, adding to the discomfort. The narrative finally gains momentum when Surya is compelled to seek financial support from those he previously aided in order to save a young girl. They all decline and, compounding matters, one even accuses him of stealing Rs 5 lakh. This revelation overwhelms Surya, leading to a psychological crisis. The film suggests this is due to split personality disorder, but the only persona displayed is that of an unstable individual wandering aimlessly with a blank expression. His parents and his self-absorbed sister—a character who initially holds promise but ultimately devolves into a stereotype—seem to desert him, despite his father’s overly dramatic declaration that he always loved him, even when scolding him frequently. His neighbors and friends (including the one for whom he passed up the job interview) reject him; Shalini is the only person who remains loyal. And just as we reach our breaking point regarding why no one intervened to seek professional help for such a clearly disturbed man, a plot twist emerges that elicits more exasperation. We are subjected to an extended explanation about what it means to be human and to assist others, creating the impression of being in a lecture hall rather than a movie theater. Frankly, accepting this feels simpler than believing some of the actions Surya undertakes throughout the film.
