'Achchamundu Achchamundu' - sensitive theme, poor translation

The newspaper clippings being shown at the end tell us how children are affected by abuse. But one wonders why Vaidyanathan hasn't tried to bring the issue into his narrative. Does the filmmaker feel that the clipping would do a better job than his narrative?

The movie disappoints big time, as it hardly handles the subject. Instead, it tries to present us a thriller without any thrilling elements.

The way he depicts Robinson to make him look like a psychotic looks funny to say the least. A child abuser doesn't need to be a psycho and he doesn't need some bizarre practices in the name of exercise. Vaidyanathan has unfortunately restored to the cliched Kollywood way of depicting a different kind of villain.

Performance wise, Prasanna and Sneha have stuck to their brief and delivered competitive performances. They look credible as NRI Tamils in the US. To be fair to them, we have to mention that they have not been offered any challenging role to leave a mark. John Shea is quite impressive in a psychotic role.

Karthik Raja has delivered a couple of melodies while the background score by Martio is apt.

'Acchamundu Acchamundu' has a good concept on paper. But it fails to impress, as the screenplay lacks excitement. The movie has come out as a docu-fiction on the lives of NRI young couple dealing with sexual abuse against children rather than a thriller.

Vaidyanathan has to be applauded for bringing a technical revolution to Tamil cinema by using the Red One camera in the film.
