When it was time to extend support to Kushboo, against whom politicians and the self-appointed moral guardians of Tamil culture had declared war, the media allowed the matter to snowball into a major controversy through its reports on the anti-Kushboo “movement”.
It is ironical that as many as 23 cases were filed against her, whereas the same people turn a blind eye to the vulgarity that passes off as entertainment on the south Indian TV channels.
Sir — For the interminable months that Kushboo withstood attacks for her comments, it was P. Chidambaram alone who came out in open support for her.

I couldn't get past the fact that Kushboo wishes to wed Prabhu even after knowing that he is a man who doesn't understand the concept of marriage or 'thaali'.
And while it is relatively easy to accept Prabhu as a simpleton whose singing can put crying babies to sleep, it requires more suspension of disbelief to accept that he does not know that tying the 'thaali' indicates marriage.
Over the years, P.Vasu and sentiments involving a mother and her son have become synonymous with each other and the strong affection Manorama and Prabhu have for each other is one of the lifelines of this movie too.
