Film: "Ponmaalai Pozhudhu"; Cast: Aadhav Kannadasan, Gayathrie, Kishore, Anupama Kumar and Arul Dass; Director: A.C. Durai; Rating: ** - Good story, bad execution.
Within a span of two weeks, Tamil cinema has witnessed two films -- "Aadhalal Kadhal Seiveer" (Aks) and "Ponmaalai Pozhudhu" (Pp) -- addressing a more or less similar issue openly. The former was lauded for its swift screenplay and the sensitivity with which it handled a domestic issue, while the latter has earned stiff criticism for messing up a promising story in its execution.
Both the films pretty much deal about the attitude of modern-day youth.
