Gist of the Story

In order to compensate for a misplaced gold band, a sister and her brother decide to work. Can they resolve the problem, particularly at an instance when their entire household is facing a financial crisis?

Detailed Plot

Annadurai is a farm worker who works long and arduous hours to make ends meet. His family includes his second wife Kamalam, their newborn baby, Pachayamma and Muthu, his two children from his previous marriage, and his aging mother. Arumugam, a crude moneylender, grants him a loan. One day, Arumugam humiliates Annadurai by not allowing him to pay back the loan’s interest on time. Annadurai fights back in an effort to regain his dignity. Arumugam gives Annadurai till the end of the month to return the whole sum plus interest, or he would lock the latter out of his home. Annadurai and his wife leave for work with the goal of repaying Arumugam’s debt at any cost.

If Annadurai and Kamalam travel to work, it typically takes them a fortnight to go back home. The children are under their grandmother’s care throughout this period. Annadurai makes a list of ways to raise money to pay off the loan, including selling their sole item of gold, a ring that Kamalam’s brother gave to their young kid. At home, Annadurai’s mother looks after her grandkids while he and his wife toil in the fields. When her grandson Muthu begins to cry uncontrollably, the grandmother pulls out the gold ring from the cabinet and gives it to him to comfort him. However, when Muthu discovers that he has misplaced the ring, he sobs and confides in Pachyamma, his sister, who comes to his aid. Erumbu is all about how Pachyamma manages to save not only Muthu but also her father and her family.

Artistes’ Performances

Erumbu is such a delightful movie in part because to the wonderful performances of the two young actors, Baby Monica and Shakthi Rithvik. The two children in the movie are difficult to ignore since they so masterfully capture their fear, hesitation, delight, and grief. The two brothers’ chemistry is undeniable, and their bond serves as the movie’s emotional centre. In Erumbu, veteran actor Charlie, who plays the title character Annadurai, gives yet another remarkable performance. To give the character of Annadurai life, he creates a controlled and realistic performance. However, George Maryan, who portrays the naive Chittu, is the one who steals the show.
