Story, Synopsis, Trivia, Dialogues for Adaikkalam (2005)

Adaikkalam is a 2005 Indian Tamil romance, costume drama film released on Jan 01, 2005. The film is directed by A R Bhuvanaraja, produced by Kalawathy Sri Narayanathas. Anbu(Prashanth) and his sister Thamizh(Uma) are studying to be doctors. They have been raised by their mother(Saranya) and uncle(Radharavi) and so hold a lot of love for them. This love is only matched by their hatred towards their father(Thiagarajan), who abandoned them when they were children. When their mother dies unexpectedly, their father arrives to perform the last rites but Anbu and Thamizh are not ready to forgive him. By now, we are used to certain things being a necessary part of Tamil movies but Adaikkalam bravely breaks a few such conventions. The biggest of these ofcourse is that Prashanth does not have a heroine. Though the movie tackles a couple of heavy issues, the director has not added an unnecessary romance to lighten the movie or saddled Prashanth with a heroine just for the purpose of including a couple of duets. The lack of a disjoint comedy track in the name of relieving the tension is also a welcome aspect and the lone fight sequence plays an important part in the story. The song in the prostitute's house is the only unnecessary segment in the entire film. Check out this page for more updates on Adaikkalam.
