Hi folks,
This is not a review or an attempt to be critical of the movie but an honest hard-hitting confession that we fail to acknowledge some masterpieces and give them credit where it's due.
The magic "Mayakkam Enna" created by director Selvaraghavan which I as an idiot couldn’t appreciate during the movie’s
release.

I was intrigued at first when I met Karthik alias Genius as his friends addressed him. I dated his
friend first who had his own problems.. not that I would say that genius didn’t
have the same problems.
But attraction is not something derived by weighing pros and cons .. it's just desired..
I hated his gestures and his attitude towards women .. Me to be honest !!
I’m still yet to figure out why I liked him in the first place
..I would share glances at him. I’d go out with his friend only when he was
there to accompany us. Genius ! that he was .. he figured it out that I
was curious about him rather than his friend.
He ran away when we kissed .. long story short ..men realise
it only with physical action (not emotionally intelligent)
I tried to help him during his struggling days ( I still do BTW) which he mistook as pity and not love as
I was still dating his friend.
He needed a physical reaction so I did my part when he
returned. But he was hesitant that it’d ruin his friendship
with his friend. So he tried to shy away .. I’ve always had to be the one to
take the first step (apologies to all women out there).
Marriage
Men need to heal themselves first before they get into any
relationship.. love or marriage !!
But since I’d fallen head over heels in love with him .. I trusted him enough to get married. But as you know, disappointed men disappoint you eventually. His life, as a failed photographer, failed my marriage too to the point that he turned into a complete alcoholic. We lost our child as well when his irritable behaviour and his self pity turned into an act of aggression.
The easy way would have been to quit this loser and move on
but what’s life if you’re not strong. So I strived with this asshole sending
his every pic to every magazine known which helped him become successful
eventually.
I dont’t want to be known as the reason behind his success, just as the
support system and pillar to his redemption and healing.
You’d never find a person who doesn’t fail. Everyone fails
eventually.
Just be there. Love them unconditionally. There were times
he would physically abuse me as well. I’m not saying that it’s okay to bear all
that .. just putting across the fact that everyone is flawed.
Make them stronger .. with your presence and your grit. How
long could they even not realize ??
He did eventually and he is this famous sober photographer
who won the international award for the best photographer of the year.
I still love him by the way. Strength is what you put up
with, not what you’re born with. Become strong because men need strong women
even if they don’t realise it.
Yours,
Yamini
