This is a Tamil short film that runs for 40 minutes. I got curious about it after seeing a reel. The story follows a young couple who have lost their love. Even though it’s short, it’s engaging and thoughtful. The plot starts on the female lead’s birthday. She’s on her way to a singing performance, which is a big opportunity for her. But when she gets a message from her boyfriend (the male lead), she drops everything and rushes to Chennai to see him.
There’s tension between them because of their breakup, and she wants to fix things. Throughout the scenes, it’s clear she always put him first. The actress did a great job. Her eyes really conveyed her emotions. In the story, her expectations were simple, like wanting his attention or a jasmine garland, but it was obvious how much sleep she had lost over the situation. The songs also prefectly synced with the scenes. She tries to convince him, but things don’t work out in the end.
The climax focused on both their perspectives. The male lead points out that love alone isn’t enough in life, while the female lead wants love but doesn’t want to be used in it. In the end, she chooses to prioritize herself and buys that jasmine garland for herself. (Maybe Miley Cyrus Flowers could’ve played, lol)
The songs, realistic lighting, the look of the bachelor’s room, and how friends try to help the couple were well done. The male lead’s viewpoint was realistic, especially for today’s world, though more dialogue from him would have added depth and justified his stand. This might seem simple and not worth much attention, but it’s a series of small things that build up, just like what’s shown here. Communication could’ve solved some issues and understanding each other perspectives, wants and values, but some things just aren’t meant to be. Give it a watch. It is available in YouTube.
Cheers
