Raj Kumar (SJ Suryah) is an isolated resident of chennai with a turbulent history. In a factory that makes mannequins, he is a painter. He unboxes a mannequin with a flaw in the chin area one day. It makes him think of Nandini (Priya Bhavani Shankar), his high school girlfriend. raj Kumar sees Nandini as she truly is, and the two of them envision their ideal lives.
Raj Kumar is a man who experienced a difficult childhood that had an impact on his mental health. He speaks to Nandini every day as a result of his hallucinations. raj also refuses to take his medication, which makes him hostile. The main conflict of the novel is how his hallucination transforms him into a murderer and how it affects his life.
Bommai is a movie that doesn't fit into the feel-good family dramas that director Radhamohan typically makes. It is a movie about a flawed hero, a man who suffers from a mental illness. SJ Suryah was excellently cast, however, the plot of the movie doesn't seem to flow naturally. The director's use of cliches is the primary cause.
Young Nandini is seen getting lost during a temple celebration. We have a lot of police officers, yet they take forever to identify the offender. Even before the characters on film speak the dialogue, viewers may already guess what it will say. For instance, the flashback sequences starring raj Kumar and Nandini transport us to their school days. Before it even started, you could predict how it would end when the filmmaker added a temple festival sequence.
The final act of the movie is filled with SJ Suryah overacting and delivering terrible speech. You might be reminded of some of tiger Thangadurai's'mokka' (bad) jokes by some of the lines. No performance is sufficient to pique your interest in the plot. Instead, as the strangeness plays out on TV, you accidentally laugh.
Consider the moment where raj Kumar converses with the mannequin (Nandini), in which they discuss their ideal match for marriage. It is ludicrous to care about their love story because of the dialogue. You are struck speechless when the police officer refers to raj Kumar's condition as a "fascinating love story" after knowing about his condition.
It was a forgettable performance from priya Bhavani Shankar. Both Yuvan shankar Raja's background score and melodies are startling. Bommai contains shoddy VFX in a dreamy scenario, which would be as uninteresting as it could possibly be. Now, on june 16, there have been two films with cheesy VFX that have appeared in theatres. If you're curious about the other one, we'll spell it out for you: Adipurush.
