Director Ramanan Purushothama’s debut film Vasantha Mullai is a reasonably well-made psychological thriller.

The film begins with Rudhran (Bobby Simha), an IT professional, ambitiously agreeing to head a challenging project. He works like a man possessed.

However, the project fails to work. Eventually, he suffers a blackout in a theatre. His wife Nila (Kashmira Pardeshi) is worried.

To unwind, the couple set off on a holiday and eventually reach a pretty desolate hotel named “Vasantha Mullai”. What happens next is what the film is all about.

Entertainment

Despite having to showcase the same set of events again and again, the director manages to retain your attention by adding interesting minor twists.

Entertainment

Kashmira Pardeshi also rises to the challenge and comes up with a convincing performance as Nila.

The other major factor that works is the refreshing music by Rajesh Murugesan. It lifts the film to another level.

It is not as if Vasantha Kokila does not have any shortcomings. The plot demands focused attention — a taxing task, to say the least.

Entertainment

The film has too many twists to understand. Also, it builds up huge expectations in the middle only to disappoint in the climax. The takeaway is insignificant.

Entertainment

Nevertheless, Vasantha Mullai makes for a decent watch.
