Unnai Kodu Ennai Tharuven 2000

Unnai Kodu Ennai Tharuven is a 2000 Indian Tamil costume drama film released on May 25, 2000. The film is directed by Kavee Kalidas, produced by R. B. Choudhary.
Surya(Ajith) has been brought up in the army barracks in Ooty, ever since his mother(Sukanya) handed him over as a baby to a brigadier(Nasser). She tells the officer the reason for her action but the audience is not allowed to hear it at this point (a good ploy since people would have walked out right then if they had heard the reason!). Surya grows up to be a patriotic youth and the best soldier in his class. He falls in love with Indu(Simran), the daughter of an army officer. Indu's parents accept her choice of husband but soon after, her father dies in a bomb blast while her mother loses her life on seeing her husband's body. Not wishing to lose her husband too in war, Indu asks Surya to choose between her and the army. It is clear that Sukanya's flashback, narrated by Nasser to Ajith in order to convince him to stay in the army, is the crux of the movie. By muting Sukanya's talk to Nasser, the director makes it obvious that there is some suspense inherent in her decision and asks us to wait for it to be revealed. Unfortunately, the flashback is also the weakest part of the movie. And its not just Sukanya's decision that is puzzling. The whole sequence raises so many questions that I wonder if the director put any thought at all into what he was offering. And if Sukanya's act here sets the bar for stupidity, Simran's final act raises(or is it lowers?) it another notch. While several movies have had unacceptable endings, this is one of the few cases where the ending was actually distasteful.
