AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

        A desire to render something 'different' apparently propelled the director duo of Haricharan and Newton to come up with Thoovanam.

        The film is about a psychologically-affected youth and boasts of a highly-rated technical team and the artistes, who have given their best.

        Karthi (Adhitya), an architect, is desperately in love with Anu (Nethra). Initially, when his romantic feelings are unrequited, he is unable to accept it and attempts to end his life.

        The attitudes of Karthi and Anu, born and brought up in the US, are as different as chalk and cheese. Later, she changes her mind and romance blossoms between the two.

        Meanwhile, Karthi (who tries to commit suicide) is saved by his friends. Anu comes to know of this and resumes her relationship with him. The scene changes and she falls in love with him. But the film doesn't end here. It all boils down to a touchy climax.

        Adhitya, who has featured in television serials looks to be an apt choice and his expressions are spontaneous and natural. Nethra, a student of MOP Vaishnav College, has acquitted herself rather well.

        Karthik's three friends (Maurya, Ponnumani and Suraj Krishna) make an impression. Sriman and Bhanuchander play important cameos.

        Madhu Ambat's camera work, Issac Thomas' lilting tunes and Krishnamurthy (art director) have contributed their mite to the movie.

        Haricharan and Newton deserve a pat for their efforts despite the end product being far from convincing.
