It's a debatable issue in today's time when young parents are more concerned about their children and not only ensure that they get good education, but also spends quality time with them, help them with their homework and also throw lavish birthday parties.

One wonders why Azhagappan portrays Siddharth and Madhavi Sharma as a greedy couple who only care for money and have no time for emotions in the film. The director should have done more homework on working couples before finalising the script.

The director has not only failed to show the real picture of working couples and their relationship with their children, most of the scenes are handled in an amateurish manner. As a result it looks like a half-baked attempt and fails to do justice to the sensitive issue.

The director also tries to prove that village is an ideal place for children, which is far from the reality. While the scenes involving the children moving around in the village look credible and pleasant, the portrayal of a 'pleasant' village resembles the movies of eighties.

Newcomers Siddarth and Madhavi Sharma fail to portray the travails of upper middle class parents. Bala Singh impresses. But it is Sri Lakshmi who walks away with all honours. The young girl has done exceedingly well and her spontaneity on screen is a treat to watch.

Revathi makes a brief appearance as a judge.

P.S. Dharan's cinematography is highlight of 'Vannathupoochi' and debutant music director Rehaan has provided some enjoyable tunes and the song 'Grama Vazhkaikullae' stands out.
