What else than a different attempt can one expect from a film maker, who had apprenticed under Manirathinam and cinematographer P C Sreeram? Debutant director Krishna Seshadri Gomadam treads a different path in his suave M3V, which is made for an elite crowd that throng multiplexes.
The story has nothing new in it. But the way it is presented makes all the difference. A sophisticated, closer-to-life narration about today’s city youth deserves credit. Their struggles and travails have been told in a lighter vein.
Hayagreev (Satyajit) wants to make a mark as a film maker. In the meanwhile, he falls in love with Sindhu (Anuja Iyer), who is counting her days thanks to a chronic heart disease. However, she decides to marry Hayagreev on the condition that he should direct a film first.
After several disappointments, he eventually finds an offer. But fate has something else in store as Sindhu’s condition becomes serious and she slips into a coma. What happens next is told in the rest.
Fresher Sathyajith, the son of dancer couple- the Dhananjayans, is spontaneous in his emotions.
Equally appealing is Anuja Iyer. Debutants Charan, Vidya Eswaran, M V Sriram, Murari and Keevna impress with their performances.
The intelligent use of M S Subbulakshmi’s Kurai Onrum Illai by Aslam Mustafa deserves special mention. Fowzia Fathima’s cinematography is colourful. All in all M3V is an experiment that is worth a watch.
