And finally, we get the reason for Dharma’s need to seek solace in alcohol. Then, there is their saintly professor Dr Kamaraj (Rajesh), who keeps urging them to treat the profession as a service and work in the villages. We see his gang of friends, which includes Stella (Srushti Dange) and Subhashini (Tamannaah, who does a commendable job dubbing for herself), and the two pine for him, the former openly, and the latter in silence. His mother, Pandiyammal (Radikaa), is the only one who stands up for him, and we get the sense that there is some reason behind Dharmadurai’s alcoholism.īut the director holds on to that for quite a while, instead choosing to narrate the college days of Dharma.
The first time we see Dharmadurai (Vijay Sethupathi, solid), he is at a local bar, and the director shows us how his oafish behaviour is a constant source of embarrassment to his brothers (each one named after the Pandavas of the Mahabharata), who even plot to harm him grievously to stop him from maligning them further. Like the hero of that film, the protagonist of this one, too, is an alcoholic. Review: The opening minutes of Dharmadurai bring to mind Seenuramasamy’s previous released film Neerparavai (the film that he shot after that, Idam Porul Yeval, is still lying in the cans and even gets referenced here). What caused this descent, and can he redeem himself? Synopsis: A doctor turns into an alcoholic, and becomes an embarrassment for his brothers.
