Synopsis

A young man navigates the complexities of unrequited love, finding that even as years pass and life takes unexpected turns, certain emotions remain deeply embedded in his heart.
Moviegoers are saying
This 160-minute romantic drama about one-sided love has left audiences feeling equally one-sided in their affection, with viewers struggling to connect with protagonist Murali despite the film's nostalgic 90s callbacks and appealing music. The consensus is brutal: a charming premise gets lost in a meandering second half where the hero does everything except actually confess his love, leading to widespread frustration with both pacing and character development.
