Parimala & Co Review

A middle-class family consisting of father Jayaram, mother Urvashi, and their two daughters, who frequently quarrel with each other, live a simple and peaceful life.

However, trouble begins when a local rowdy, Sandy, starts harassing Jayaram’s daughter in the name of love. As his harassment worsens day by day, his grandmother also supports his actions and repeatedly intimidates Jayaram’s family. Unable to bear the situation, the family even discusses whether they should kill Sandy to put an end to the harassment.

Meanwhile, Sandy is murdered. Police officer Mysskin, who investigates the case, begins to suspect Jayaram’s family. As the investigation progresses, the family members themselves start suspecting one another. Later, Jayaram’s brother and Urvashi’s brother enter the picture, and suspicion falls on them as well. The film humorously unfolds the mystery of who killed Sandy and why, while also conveying a social message.

Jayaram and Urvashi’s natural performances and impeccable comic timing fill the theater with laughter. At the same time, some comedy sequences rely on lengthy dialogues that can feel repetitive and slightly tedious.

Director-actor Mysskin delivers a strong performance as the police officer. Although his character initially appears ordinary, an unexpected twist near the climax leaves the audience surprised.

Sandy shines in a new avatar, moving beyond his image as a choreographer and showcasing impressive acting skills.

The performances of Sanjana Krishnamoorthy and Ananthika Sanilkumar, who play the sisters, effectively reflect the playful nature of young women from middle-class families.

The supporting cast, including G. K. M. Tamil Kumaran, Yogi Babu, and Poornima Ravi, are well-cast and add strength to the film.

Cinematographer George C. Williams presents visually appealing frames. The songs composed by Foxson are catchy and enjoyable, while the background score effectively supports the narrative.

Editor Pradeep E. Ragav and art director T. Ramalingam also contribute significantly to the film’s overall quality.

Director Pandiraj takes up the issue of harassment against women and attempts to present it through comedy rather than a serious tone. While this approach succeeds in certain places, it occasionally tests the audience’s patience under the guise of humor.

Although the screenplay is packed with twists and a large number of characters, these elements eventually become weaknesses. Multiple subplots and comedy tracks fail to land consistently, causing the story to drift in different directions.

Still, a few comedy sequences provide relief, and near the climax, Pandiraj delivers a strong message aimed at young people. This helps redeem the film and leaves it as a family-friendly entertainer that combines humor with a meaningful social message.
