Kudos to director for showing exactly what you shouldn't do when you are young and married.
My take on their life too much sacrifice in too short time. I feel both A and A sacrificed too many things
in order to satisfy the needs of people around them and took their relationship for granted.
Comparing with R and S who although had so much hatred initially they never compromised or gave up their respect wrt outside people irrespective of whatever happened between them.For example when the ex-lover of Shakthi came and told that she had a one night stand Reva then and there stopped her with a warning. She had a strong belief in Shakthi.Other thing is she never bowed down to her in-laws or their demands.She was strong in what she wanted to achieve .For example when they didn't give food she started cooking by herself.
On the other day Andal gave up too much of her pride to her MIL .She worked like a donkey in their house to satisy their needs. She didn't even go to work when her MIL asked her not to go. And Alagar also worked too hard to keep up with their needs. I wish they would have moved out when they got Mayilu there. Either she should believe him or take him out of the situation. Life is not just getting graduated and getting employed.It throws us so much more
I personally feel at any point of time we shouldn't give our self respect which both A and A failed to do.When Alagar came fwd and accepted his brothers mistake he pretty much gave up his identity. There is a limit for the kind of compromise anyone can do .But he went well above and same things goes for Andal also. What if she didn't have supporting FIL ?A women needs a strong support system. She failed to do the same. She was happy with her relationship with her husband. But life circumstances are not always same. Its nice of her FIL to help her but the initiative to serve people should have come from her not because Alagar has gone bad or FIL is motivating her. I agree with what chids told other day.She failed to serve her purpose.
Hopefully they will stop this emotional abuse and get separated and move forward in their life.When they get more matured ,have more patience they can come to gether.This kind of bickering back and forth will never heal their wounds.
