With Kaathalae Kaathalae soulfully playing in the backdrop, she simply hugs him. In a beautiful reimagination of a life-changing incident, Janu dreams about how she would have professed her love for Ram. He worships her to an extent, where he is even afraid to touch her. Merely seeing Janu and thinking about her is enough for him to live on forever. Vijay SethupathiРІР‚в„ўs Ram is an embodiment of the exquisiteР’В romantic pain. The slow-motion shots make us feel the pain of characters and their moral and emotional dilemma. The significant camera technique is highly relegated to hero-worshipping in Tamil cinema. ThatРІР‚в„ўs how well the story and its characters connect with the audience.Р”Р‡or the first time, I could really see how effective the slow-motion shots can be used in visual storytelling. You will not question the rationale behind it. Because you are rooting for Janu and Ram to be together. You will only ask that question in empathy. Oh, come on, why canРІР‚в„ўt she extend her stay a couple of days in Chennai, you may ask.

Because at the break of the dawn, Janu has to board the flight. Janu and Ram have only one evening to be with each other and pour out everything they held in their hearts for so many years. And when she arrives, we find out that even the mere mention of RamРІР‚в„ўs name still makes her heart skip a beat or two.Р”Р‡rom this point, the movie slightly moves into the territory of Before Sunrise. At the eleventh hour, she decides to fly down to Chennai for the reunion. Janu (played by Trisha) is now in her late 30s and a mother of a girl child.

He is still, mentally, the same 17-year-old boy, who fainted when his lady love touched him.

Because for all these years, he has only been living in the memories of his past life. Everyone at the reunion reminisces about their time spent together in school. He is 37 now and it has been 20 years since he last saw his friends. He connects with all the school friends with the aid of technology and everyone decides to hold the reunion for the 1996 batch. RamРІР‚в„ўs visit brings back an avalanche of beautiful memories of his childhood and his first and only love Janu.
