3 BHK - movie review

We've a strong sentiment at home. Whichever movie my votes as good will turn out to be a blockbuster. If it even remotely manages to catch her interest, that movie is bound to be a sure shot hit. When "Pichaikaran" movie was released, i wasn't even following about the movie. And the first time we saw it was when it premiered on a tv channel. She liked it immensely and since she was watching the movie, we were all curious and it ended up being a fun watch. The movie was already a blockbuster, and Vijay Anthony is always identified as the "pichakara" actor (honestly not in disrespect but as the actor from the movie) in our house. Same goes for "Gentleman" and Arjun is the "appala kadai" person. When i started watching this movie on Prime, i wasn't too thrilled for it felt like an azhumoonji story with lots of forced melodrama. We began watching the movie as there was nothing else to watch at that time and were discussing the travails of that family, there struggles in rented houses and how our own house owners used to put so many rubbish conditions. There were quite a few similarities and before we realized we were halfway through. We saw the movie, just like its story line, like a mega serial, stretching it into a 4-day watch of half hour each. The scenes involving the father character were obviously emotional and beyond a point, we felt, innum ethanava thadava these guys are going to miss out on buying that house!!! After the third day, she herself began to wonder, ivanga veedu vaanga porangala illaya nu!!! Had it been for that trim, that movie might've worked even better, i guess. The one thing that stood out for me was how the dad projects his life as a failure and how much he wants his son to be not like him!! The other noteworthy aspect about the son's character being, despite not liking the decisions that he ends up with due to the emotional situations, he obliges his parents which is quite an unusual trait in the current story telling world!! In the end he does revolts and decides to take his life in his own hands and that section again is as cinematic as it can be with him making up for all those mistakes and losses in just a couple of minutes of hard work and over a montage filled song. Buying a house, a decent one at that, is everyone's dream and more so for those who have grown up in rented accommodations. The storyline was a sure shot one to connect with majority of audience and the positive ending, despite having been dragged for an unwanted  more 20 minutes, makes it a decent watch. My mom felt satisfied that they finally got a house in the end and that's about it!
