Here a awesome feel good movie for you !!
The movie begins in an Ooty boarding school where Pari Mukilan (played by the brilliant Gaurav Kaalai) is the popular student and a sports champion. In addition, he is a typical bully that always wants to be the best dog. However, male dorms have a way of bringing people together, and even though Pari and Sabari (played by the excellent Pravin Kishore) had a string of awkward encounters, things finally seem to be improving. However, disaster occurs, and Sabari is compelled to accept life's whims.
Minmini addresses the idea of survivor's guilt, whereas Halitha approaches the same topic from several perspectives. She describes leading a life filled with guilt via Sabari, and Praveena is liberated to be able to live a life she never ever dared to hope for. Emotions in humans are never binary, correct? They're intricate. They are arbitrary. They are swaying back and forth. They pass quickly. They are everything that exists. They are also, of course, nothing. Halitha attempts to capture all of this in a journey where the main characters learn about themselves. But she is also troubled by the issue of extremes.
The school parts feel lighthearted even though they tackle a serious subject since they focus on kids being kids. Even though Pari is annoying Sabari, they eventually become friends when the latter see him as a friend rather than an enemy. Though these topics are handled quite delicately, it's not like Minmini supports this kind of behavior. That is a defining feature of Halitha's movies, and it is also very evident in Minmini. Filmmakers and viewers frequently have a very cursory understanding of sensitivity and sensibility. Alternatively, we choose for abrupt subversion to scrutinize the morality of the viewers.
Then there's Halitha, who is so good at it that we find ourselves doubting our morality despite the subversions. It's only meant to steer us in the right direction—never to convict us. Consider the initial moment Sabari notices the rose tattoo on Praveena's neck. Now that they are adults, they converse as two mature, respectable people. In a previous scenario, Praveena accepts assistance from another random stranger when she is compelled to leave the warmth of a tent in the freezing mountain range because she is being pursued by an undesirable stranger.
Almost as Halitha said, this world is full with different kinds of individuals, and we shouldn't allow one negative encounter to make us stop expecting the best from everyone. This may sound idealistic, but in the barren Himalayan regions, you have to rely on both people and the natural world.
We feel as though Halitha, who enjoys letting the audience piece together the emotional narrative at their own pace and through their own experiences, is pushing us in certain directions. A free-flowing emotional journey was what Minmini promised, and in some spots, it achieves it with the delicacy of a dew on a newly opened flower.
Unfortunately, Minmini occasionally stumbles anytime this is substituted with a map-based point-to-point trip that seems overly precise and mathematical. However, those hiccups and diversions are to be expected when Halitha chooses to conclude Minmini's voyage with that particular outlook.
