hai subramanyam

Arumugam(Srikanth), who works at a printing press, lives in a Housing Board colony and one of the girls in the colony, Mena(Namitha), is in love with him. When Arumugam goes to Ooty for some deliveries, he runs into Pooja(Aarti) and promptly falls in love. But Pooja\'s wedding is fixed with Gautam(Vikramaditya), a rather unsavory character. On Pooja\'s request, Arumugam tries to disrupt the wedding and save Pooja. His plans work and the wedding is called off but Pooja does not realize Arumugam\'s love. So he returns home with a heavy heart. Apart from the occasional Ghajini, Tamil cinema romances have just not been particularly memorable or even entertaining lately and Pambara Kannaale continues the trend. Here, hearing Aarti speak lines that he himself spoke is all that it takes for Srikanth to fall head over heels in love. But this quick romance allows the film to put romance on the backburner and move to other things as Srikanth tries to stop the wedding. The plans aren\'t particularly clever but do the job of keeping the story moving. Romance is kept to a minimum in the second half too as the movie turns into a battle of wits between Srikanth and Vikramaditya. I actually found the latter\'s plans to be more clever. Srikanth\'s revenge, when he gets the chance, consisted of some silly and lame plans. But the jumbled up pieces of paper provide a nice thread that makes sure that romance is never completely out of the picture. And the way it is finally solved has a nice touch of irony. I guess the director has tried to offer something different in the climax but this was one time I wished he had stuck to a tried and tested approach. Srikanth\'s antics make no sense and make him look like he has suddenly gone bonkers. I wish our directors would understand that romance and vulgar comedy just don\'t belong in the same film. A couple of segments in this film are the most vulgar I remember seeing in recent films and make New seem like a children\'s film! A number of lines have been silenced by the censors but the double entendres in the remaining dialogs still cross the lines of decency alarmingly. Initially such vulgarity is restricted to sequences with Vadivelu, Namitha and other comedians. But then it is real sad when Srikanth too gets into the act. After Oru Naal Oru Kanavu, we once again see a pumped-up, high-energy Srikanth here. Though it seems overdone sometimes, it is a likeable character overall. Aarti Agarwal is apparently a leading heroine in Telugu but I\'m not sure exactly why. Most camera angles are rather unflattering and she looks a bit old. Namitha, inspite of the romantic angle, is simply there to up the glamour quotient and as always, she insists on wearing dresses that are atleast a couple of sizes too small for her.
