Executive's Fake Engagement Sparks Village Comedy
19 Sep
Summary
- London executive needs assistant to pose as fiancé to avoid deportation.
- The film blends office bickering with suggestive village humor.
- Lead actors share chemistry despite contrived romantic plot.
A London-based executive, facing potential deportation, devises a plan involving her assistant, Vetri. She pretends to be engaged to him, accompanying him to his family home in Tamil Nadu. This arrangement forms the premise for the comedy "Sandakari."
The film's humor relies heavily on the characters' mutual dislike and exaggerated workplace dynamics. The director struggles to leverage the shared predicament for comedic effect, leading to extended sequences of bickering and suggestive remarks that circle the same character traits.
While the central courtship dynamic feels small-minded, focusing on embarrassment, the lead actors Vemal and Shriya Saran provide decent performances. They manage to convey a degree of chemistry, and the visual contrast between London and the village setting adds some welcome variety to the film.
