The beauty of the script of 60 Vayathu Maaniram is the nice blend of emotions that ends up giving us a strong, need of the hour message, without being preachy.
60 Vayathu Maaniram tells us a message that’s crucial for today’s life style. It conveys the emotional tug of war that arises between youngsters and their parents.
How the youngsters are after financial security and working on improving their financial status and in the process, how they forget to take care of their parents forms the crux of the story.
The only drawback is that the movie fails to emphasize the fact that financial security is also the need of the hour to take good care of ageing parents.
Nevertheless, the movie clearly and beautifully blends the underlying emotions to bring out this message.
Prakash Raj plays Professor Govindarajan, an elderly father diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. His son Shiva (Vikram Prabhu) is has a tech professional.
He doesn’t care much about his father and since he has to move abroad to lift his financial status, he leaves his father in an old age home in Chennai.
Shiva comes to Chennai regarding Visa work and both go for shopping which is when Govindarajan goes missing.
Now Shiva goes on in search of his father and a responsible doctor (Induja) helps him in the process.
Meanwhile Govindarajan accidentally ends up with Ranga (Samuthirakani) who is a contact killer and he along with his partner are actually on the way to dispose a dead body.
The cops are after them and they take shelter in a house.
Now we have three tracks – The lost father, the son’s search for his lost father and a contract killer who has his own story.
How these three tracks meet is beautiful – we also have a subtle love story that doesn’t dilute the main plot.
After quite a while, Vikram Prabhu has chosen a nice script and has neatly performed his role. Prakash Raj shines in the role of a forgetful yet funny father.
Samuthirakani, on the other hand, does his role with much ease.
The beauty of the script of 60 Vayathu Maaniram is the nice blend of emotions that ends up giving us a strong, need of the hour message, without being preachy.
