Movie: Middle class Madhavan
Middle class Madhavan

Director: T.P. Gajendran
Cast: Prabhu, Abhirami, Radhika Choudhary, Revathi, Shankaran, Vivek, Visu.

Madhavan, a lawyer, has a big family to support and two sisters of marriageable age. His professional prospects too are bleak. What with he getting tongue tied in the court and bungling the cases passed on to him by his senior. Abhirami, attracted by his simplicity, gets him to marry her, offering to help him financially to get his sisters married. Abhirami even postpones their 'first night' till the sisters get married and leave home. 

Suitable grooms are soon found for the two girls. The next part is about Madhavan and Abhirami's many futile attempts to consummate their marriage. The 'first night' gets postponed for one reason or the other.

It is a neater film than the team's earlier film 'Budget Padmanabhan'. The script doesn't stray much here and the director is more focussed. Prabhu gives the right nuances to his role of the harassed middle class man. Abhirami's suitable expressions are a delight to watch. Vivek and Vadivelu go over-board with their comic antics.
