Suriya should be thanking his stars now. He not only managed to hold hands with his beloved Jyothika this year, the movie Sillunu Oru Kaadhal featuring Suriya and Jyothika has successfully completed a 100-day run all across the State today.
The movie produced by Studio Green was a mature love story. The timing of Sillunu Oru Kaadhal's release was also very apt. It released coinciding with the wedding of the two stars.
Director Krishna took a typical triangular love story and woven an interesting tapestry using the diverse strands of romance and affection.
The success should be attributed to the director who managed to get the fine print right - the everyday detail between a husband and wife, their anger, frustrations, their love, the quaint ebb and flow of their emotions.
He was also spot on in painting a very attractive canvas of youthful, college-campus dalliance between Suriya and Bhumika.
The movie had the backing of a team of experts - A R Rahman in music, Antony in editing and Rajasekhar in camera.
Krishna is a happy and contended man now. He is happy with his effort. Amidst gangster films with bloodshed, he wanted to differentiate himself from other directors. And he did it.
Krishna has made a beginning with a bang. More responsibility is on his shoulders to continue the good run.
