I love Aishu more. Review on Sillunu Oru Kadhal Movie

The film's great..the song Munbe Vaa is just mind blowing. This is not a review though. These are just my feelings and thoughts on the movie. Spoilers ahead

I am more in love with Gawtham and Aishu than with Gautham and Kundavi. I think it's because we didn't get to see Gawtham and Kundavi fall in love with each other. In the next scene of their marriage, you see them being a family and having a child. You just don't spring a happy relationship out of the blue. It needs to be built. If you take the case of Gawtham and Aishu's romance, it's built perfectly. The budding romance, song everything.

After reading Gawtham's diary, Kundavi is sad. She's not angry, she just wants to avoid him. She's probably dealing with the fact that her husband's got an ex lover and loved her dearly. He tells in his diary "Even one day lived with her would feel like a century" and Kundavi realizes that her husband might still love his ex lover. After all he married Aishu in his college years.

The film's major flaw was in making the viewers feel like "Yes. Gawtham still loves Aishu". If this movie is something that really happened in real life I bet the man still loves his ex lover very much. Essentially you must not have any regrets in life. You had a lover today and supposeby fate you couldn't get together and then you have a wife years later, you shouldn't be thinking about your ex, you should have moved on by then and should be happy at the place you've reached. Instead we feel like "Ok. Gawtham loves his wife. True. But he loves his ex lover/ex wife more." Especially the part where Kundavi imagines what might have happened between Gawtham and Aishu.

I cried at the part where Gawtham and Aishu hug each other in Kundavi's imagination. Their love feels so much real. So much more passionate. Like they love each other very much. And who doesn't love a romance that lasts a lifetime? Even if they don't get together. Especially if two people who really love each other but don't get to be together.

A woman's love for a man will die when she finds that her man still loves his ex. She should just leave him so that he'll figure out everything and make up his mind about his goddamn priorities. If a man with a wife is hung up on his ex, they should have an open conversation to truly move on. If that doesn't work, it means that the man and his wife had no love between them in the first place.

Suppose this movie happened in real life, it is more likely that Gawtham would still be hung up on Aishu and doesn't love Kundavi that much. All she'll be able to do is tolerate her husband and his love for his ex. If that's the case hiding won't help much. Hiding something doesn't help with anything. Please, people, be open about your past relationships with your new lover or with your wife or husband. Whoever wrote this story had a similar experience to this. They still love their ex and wants to have one day of happiness with them. And this person is probably going to love their ex till the end of his life. He's stuck on what he experienced and doesn't probably get the same from his wife(yeah..I said what I said). The director and the crew made it seem like Gawtham and Kundavi have a great love at the end of the movie. But I think it's only done because it's Suriya and Jyothika and they were in a real relationship at the time. Wouldn't want to put a bad image on such big stars. The reality of the story would be totally different.

Hats off to the character of Bhumika. She was absolutely perfect for the role!

I just remembered a line said by Gawtham to Kundavi at the end of the movie on why he hid that he had an ex lover. He says that a woman cannot tolerate her husband's love being shared with another girl. It means that Gautham still loves Aishu.

To be frank, they (Gawtham and Kundavi)are not in a happy place. He still loves Aishu. To move on to the future means leaving your past behind including the feelings associated with it. But that never happens. At the end of the movie it shows that Gawtham loves Kundavi, but how can we believe it if we don't see it in action? Is it just that Suriya and Jyothika lacks chemistry on-screen? Or they don't try to build it up in the first place?
