Vazhthugal is a story about love, not just love between a man and woman but the love and affection within an entire family.
Madhavan is a successful entrepreneur, socially responsible and an affectionate and dutiful son. He runs Amma, a software company that is also involved in charitable activities. But Maddy is not a happy man. Though an eligible bachelor in the prime of youth, he shuns marriage. Why? Because he views marriage as an arrangement to separate the loving son from his affectionate parents. He firmly believes that his 'Amma old age home' is filling up with a steady stream of abandoned parents because modern married girls are brainwashing their husbands to banish their parents to old age homes. According to him, wives are dangerous creatures who mercilessly cut off family relationships. Careful not to involve himself in the mess, Maddy avoids marriage.
Bhavana, a winner in the young achievers slot, appears on TV and declares she owes her success and achievement to the support of her large family. She remarks that she has scaled great heights in life only because of her happy childhood.
Impressed by her attitude, Maddy sets out to meet and woo her. He goes to her college along with his friend Venkat Prabhu. After failing in all his efforts to ignite her interest, Maddy finds an appropriate opportunity when he learns that her family is searching for a good interior designer to renovate their traditional family home.
Though not familiar with interior design, Maddy takes help from a skilled designer and undertakes the job himself. What follows? A gripping family drama! Maddy as usual is lively and effortlessly carries out his job well.
Bhavana is bubbly and charming and shares great onscreen chemistry with Madhavan.
Avoiding English words in dialogues, offering elaborate introductions to the characters during the first part of the movie and conceiving idealistic characters who are principled and flawless are Seeman's imprints in this movie.
Music by Yuvanshankar Raja has produced some hummable tunes. 'Endan Vaanamum' and 'Chinna Chinna' are soft numbers that establish the mood perfectly.
Had it been polished with stronger characterizations and more convincing situations, Vazhthugal would have evolved as an even more poignant family tale!
