Directed by Director Radhamohan comes up with a radically different story in Bommai. The story revolves around Raju aka Rajakumaran (SJ Suryah) who works producing mannequins.
Raju has had a troubled childhood. After losing his mother as a child, his neighbour Nandini (Priya Bhavani Shankar) becomes his only source of comfort. However, Nandini goes missing.
Time goes by and Raju grows up to be a man, along with his love and longing for Nandini. As chance would have it, Raju spots a mannequin with a mark on its face which reminds him of Nandini.
When the shopkeeper sells the mannequin while Raju is away his anger changes to rage and he ends up murdering the store owner. What happens then is what Bommai is all about.
Unlike several other films by Radhamohan, who has a reputation for making meaningful and enjoyable entertainers, Bommai‘s story is highly artificial and far from reality.
Priya Bhavani Shankar, who plays the character of Nandini, delivers a commendable performance. Playing a doll is difficult but to Priya’s credit, she does a fine job.
Richard M Nathan’s visuals are a treat to watch and Yuvan Shankar Raja’s background score works in portions. However, despite all the technical support, Bommai fails to make an impact.
