Gist of the Story

A middle-class girl is forced to navigate a darkly humorous web of financial trouble and unforeseen occurrences when her household wins a car in a raffle. As several parties compete for ownership, pandemonium ensues.

Detailed Plot

Agalya, who is portrayed by Aishwarya Rajesh, is from a poor middle-class household. She is the primary provider for the rest of her family, which also consists of her mother, a mute older sister, and a bedridden father. The elder sister is also past the age of marriage. She wins a car worth ten lakhs as part of a contest, and they are overjoyed to the core. However, an extended family member who has been estranged from them for some time due to ideological disagreements now seeks ownership of the car because he entered the competition. Both sides are dissatisfied when a cop who is also a womanizer intervenes in the matter. Who will be the car’s owner?

Artistes’ Performances

The film’s leading lady, Aishwarya, flawlessly carries off her role. The seamless performance that keeps us viewing an Aishwarya Rajesh movie is one of its best features. However, Deepa Shankar, who appears alongside Lakshmipriyaa in several sequences, provides her with great support. Even if they put up interesting performances, actors like Redin Kingsley, Karunakaran, and Mime Gopi are not surprising to us. In his portrayal of a cunning cop, Sunil makes a concerted effort to impress.

Direction / Technical Side

This plot produces enough engaging components to hold the audience’s attention. Black humor and a sophisticated thriller have been tried to be balanced, according to director SG Charles. He establishes the perfect mood for the movie with a witty and engaging first half that runs quickly and has plenty of amusing jokes. Soppana Sundari is different from most crime comedies in that it does not take itself too seriously, and this is what greatly benefits the movie. The introduction of a cop persona, though, affects the second half, and Charles’ choice of words might have undoubtedly been improved. Apart from that, the second half adds more melodrama and the continual cat-and-mouse pursuit gets a little too much, trying our tolerance. Soppana Sundari’s second half may not quite live up to the first, but the film’s brief runtime and a few scattered laughs keep it from being too much of a headache. For creating a dark comedy about women who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty, SG Charles earns a lot of kudos.

But the film’s technical accomplishments occasionally lift a few scenes. The colorful score by Ajmal Tahseen keeps the action moving in several spots and contributes to the film’s quirkiness. The unusual narration is complemented by the eye-catching images by Balamurugan and Vignesh Rajagopalan, and the bright frames help to give the black comedy credibility.

Verdict; The humorous plotline of the Aishwarya Rajesh-starring film is quite important, but the film’s distinctive presentation completes it. With a clever and captivating first half, director SG Charles creates the ideal atmosphere for the film. Overall, an unusual dark comedy that has some interesting moments!

Rating: 3 out of 5.
