and that grief and sorrow are part of life. He realises that there are others in the world, who too have their own tale of woes. Mukund learns a few more lessons of life. Forced to stop at a roadside dhabba when his bike gets stalled, Mukund and his daughter are given refuge by the kind -hearted Simran (Saranya Nag fitting suitably in the role). On his bike journey on the highway, Mukund encounters a few people. Endearing and earning our sympathy is baby Vedhika as Meera.
Regina in a brief role as Jenny is spirited and plays it just right. Vikram Anand as Mukund is just about adequate. But, what mars the flow is the leisurely pace of the narration.
And we wonder what the man is running away from, and the reason for his grief -stricken countenance. The director maintains an element of suspense and mystery for a length of time. Live within your means, the director seems to suggest here. Neck deep in debt, the finance company goons threatening the family, and his wife berating him for the mess they are in, Mukund tries to find a way out. Of Mukund’s desire to provide his wife and daughter a luxurious lifestyle leading him to borrow heavily. We get to know of Mukund’s marriage to Jenny, an orphan (Regina), against his parents wishes. The narration cuts frequently to the past, revealing in bits and pieces the circumstances that have brought Mukund to the situation he was in. Mukund is travelling from Chitradurga to Chennai with an agenda. We soon learn that he is Mukund, and the girl his daughter Meera. It depicts a man on a bike on a deserted highway, with a little girl.
The film opens on a suspense-filled note. But it gets lost somewhere in the disoriented narration where focus shifts from one issue to another. There is a relevant message the film tries to convey. The knot has the potential, but it seems the director has failed to exploit the same. He had no one to blame for it, as he was mainly responsible for the situations that had led to the tragedy. The plot tracks the emotional journey of a guilt-ridden man, who finds no way out of the tragedy that had shattered his domestic peace and happiness. The film is the debut production venture of music composer Selvaganesh (of Vennila Kabaddi Kuzhu). Cast- Vikram Anand, Regina,Saranya Nag, Baby Vedhika, Harris Moosa, Raghunath, Kumar
