Gentleman cadet Mukund Varadarajan is marching along with his batchmates during his passing out parade. During this march, an animated Indhu Rebecca Varghese shouts out the name of the love of her life. She also runs around to catch a glimpse of Mukund, who is one among the soldiers passing out. GV Prakash Kumar’s rousing score primes the scene for a romantic high. She is jubilant, happy, ecstatic,and sports a smile that reaches her eyes as Mukund marches with a straight face. And at the very last moment, as the march comes to a close, he finally has half a smile, even without looking at her. Now, is that smile for Indhu? Is he smiling because he has finished his training, and is living his long-time dream of joining the Indian army? Director Rajkumar Periasamy’s Amaran tells us that Mukund, after a point, didn’t really differentiate between the two, and that’s what makes his story all the more special.
Amaran begins at the end.
We know where a rather sombre Indhu (a terrific Sai Pallavi) is going. This isn’t a film that is always subtle, but it isn’t always loud either. “I am in a forever long-distance relationship with my love,” says Indhu, as we first meet Major Mukund at Shopian. Rajkumar wastes no time as he establishes the fact that Major’s unit, the 44 Rashtriya Rifles, is one that has people from across the country. We hear Hindi, Malayalam, Telugu, Hindi, and of course, Tamil. After a rather interesting introduction to the machinations of this unit, we go back in time to know how Indhu and Mukund fell in love with each other.
The meet-cutes are cute,
and it is upto Sai Pallavi to do most of the heavy lifting in these scenes. Somehow, Sivakarthikeyan feels more at home in the uniform rather than when he is out of it. Sai Pallavi sells the chirpiness and the ‘butterflies in the stomach’ kind of love, and she wonderfully stays on the right side of the line between cute and caricature, albeit the Malayalam-Tamil dialogue delivery gets some time getting used to.
