This is a wonderful Tamil movie on the one hand about a girl wanting to discover her roots, but, on the other, more about war and the toll it takes. It is set in Sri Lanka, but it could be anywhere. The interweaving has been wonderfully done and the performances, especially by Keerthana are simply superb. Reminded me of the book Kite Runner. Though it is a different story and a different setting, the similarity of strains are striking. It was a pity that most songs did not have English subtitles.
