Even her friends in the film, with whom she discusses her problem, are a bunch of 10-year-old children. While Balu receives no retribution for his misogynistic behaviour, Mahalakshmi is completely infantilised. Or how she could be in love with a man who tries to put her down for topping her class and instead tries to get the family to focus on her 'character' because she received a love letter from a classmate? What else can explain a scene where Mahalakshmi tops her exams, when she seems to be lacking in elementary Mathematics. The director and the cast have all colluded to make the audience the victims. Because let's face it, she is no victim in this movie. And while he conveniently blames his hand, it is now Mahalakshmi's turn to recite the infatuation theory with a smirk. Clearly in all the books he read, nobody explained sexual harassment to him. If director MM Chandramouli had given half the time spent on focusing the camera on Shalini's navel to the script, maybe the movie would have been passable.īut to make things worse, Balu goes on to touch her navel, scaring her out of her stupor. He is selfish, self-absorbed, misogynistic, emotionally abusive, jealous, short-tempered, narcissistic.well, you get the drift.
His so-called genius aside, Balu has several other notable characteristics. Except, the only formula the college topper is heard reciting in the movie is a + b whole square, the answer for which the rest of us learnt in class 5.
He claims to think in algebraic formulae, several of which are scribbled on his ceiling and walls. They both attend the same engineering college in Chennai, a miracle, considering that Mahalakshmi in her introduction scene claims that 2*2 is 5.īalu, on the other hand, has always ranked first his entire life and plans to keep his track record untainted in college. Here is where we usually warn readers of spoilers that will follow, but considering that the sole purpose of this movie is to ruin your mood and spoil your day, it barely deserve this leniency. 100% Kadhal (more like 100% Nonsense) follows the love-hate relationship between its leads Balu (GV Prakash), a self proclaimed genius, and Mahalakshmi (Shalini), his cousin from a village in Coimbatore.
