It may sound cliched to compare relationships to a string that breaks when stretched too tight, but requires more than a feather-like touch. These proverbs are well-liked because they have a way of returning to your life with a newfound significance—a clarity that was previously obscured by their simplicity.
Irugapatru (Hold Tight), a movie directed by Yuvaraj Dhayalan, seems to be one of those quotes that speaks to us universally while also providing a tiny bit of extra comfort. In order for Yuvaraj to make his arguments and do a kind of balancing act, the movie uses the situations of three couples who are conveniently from different age groups and economic backgrounds. All of the couples' personalities are emotionally exactly where they need to be.
The weight gain that his wife Pavithra has experienced since giving birth is a major concern for IT professional Rangeesh . He detests seeing his wife lie next to him, and since they have a maid or nanny, he needs to "blame" her for being lazy and overindulging in food. Beneath all of that, though, inside their small universe, is a severe problem that you may notice in relationships everywhere you look.
A twentysomething couple named Arjun (Sri) and Divya (Saniya Iyappan) struggle with one another's disparate lifestyles, modes of expression, and preferred languages of love. While Divya is terrified to even return home to her husband, the love of her life, Arjun finds it difficult to comprehend that his wife has "fallen out of love" with him. In a moment, he lost his composure.
Dramas about relationships have long been popular. There is a huge fan base for relatable urban romances that capture the spirit of the times. And one such movie Irugapattru directed by Yuvaraj Dhayalan, follows the lives of three married couples who are having incompatibilities and are about to end their marriages.
Marriage counselor Mithra Manohar (Shraddha Rama Srinath) works with couples. She teaches psychological lectures to her husband Manohar (Vikram Prabhu) at home. Following them is a middle-class pair, consisting of IT worker Rangesh (Vidharth) and his spouse Pavithra . Rangesh continues to make fun of Pavithra since he is not persuaded by her weight increase. But there's a deeper issue that's causing the fury.
One of the points that Irugapattru highlights is the lack of communication or miscommunication between couples. Communication is not what a person says at face value but understanding what s/he means by making such a statement. The film conveys the same.
