The movie makes its intentions obvious from the start; it intends to make you laugh and also evoke some poignant feelings. Fortunately, the audience isn't subjected to excessive emotional displays, though those prone to tears at movies might want to seek comfort from their father afterward. Sathya (Ramesh Thilak) works as a paramedic and his closest friend is Arumugam (Arumugam Bala), the cheerful ambulance driver. He’s in love with Kavya (Aashrita), who comes from a wealthy family. Sathya, still grieving for his deceased father, holds strong principles and genuinely enjoys his work. This creates conflict when he's offered a comfortable job taking over his prospective father-in-law's business, causing him to question the direction of their relationship. It’s then that he encounters Kailasam (Vijay Sethupathi), a 55-year-old man experiencing severe chest pains, whom he picks up from a remote location in his ambulance. Their journey to the hospital begins. The story really gets going at this point. Typically, one expects a hero to be presented with style – fashionable clothes, a confident demeanor, and an attitude to match. Vijay Sethupathi as Kailasam is quite different, yet delivers such a convincing performance that you almost forget he isn't actually a man in his fifties. As Kailasam, Sethupathi portrays the subtleties of an older person—someone respected within their community but also possessing quirks that can be frustrating. Combined with comedy and moments of sentimentality, his character is endearingly irritating. The bond he develops with Sathya evolves gradually – sometimes hesitantly, other times exaggeratedly obvious. Ultimately, the audience isn't left confused; their connection clearly represents a son seeking a father figure and a father desiring a son to love. Ramesh Thilak as Sathya seems to have recognized his opportunity to shine and has put in considerable effort into his portrayal, which is evident. Director Biju Vishwanathan’s unconventional storytelling deserves recognition. He aimed for a natural flow, but there are instances where subtlety appears diminished or even absent. However, the cinematography is stunning; innovative camera angles, skillful use of landscapes and colors make each frame visually appealing. Justin Prabhakaran's background score isn’t particularly remarkable, although some songs have already resonated with audiences, featuring a few memorable melodies. Overall, like an orange candy, the film has a bittersweet quality. A major strength is its length—just one hour and forty minutes, which feels sufficient to tell this engaging story. The movie concludes with the sentiment that 'the journey is the destination,' effectively summarizing the experience of watching it.
