The movie's core concept was too good. Suriya dominates the screen for most part. He fits the role as a Psychiatrist. Credit should go to him for accepting such a role.The way he deals with the problems and explains things through his doctor’s role has been showcased well. Both the Kids have also performed exceptionally. Amala Paul has already proved her mettle and in this movie she has done role of a pampering mother. She also lashes out schools which have turned commercial these days. Bindu Madhavi as confusing mom has done justice to her role. Rest of the characters have done justice to their roles. Not to miss cameos from other actors too.
Even though the concept is good, the movie fails in slow paced narration. The entire first half takes ample time to settle down. To be frank, first half is completely used to show the problems faced by kids. And we can see lots of shades of Taare Zameen Par in the movie. Editing could have been crisp. Most of the scenes are too dragging. Songs are also hindrance. But few songs are melodious and are soothing to ears. Cinematography is neat and simple and there is nothing much to boast about. Arrol Corelli could have focused more on music and on background score. Especially during climax, he could have used more soft back ground music.
Movies like 'Memu' are much needed to society and the movie hits on the burning problem which is faced by parents these days. The movie will appeal to audience of all ages. But one must need patience as the narration is too slow. But if you ignore the predictable story, you can connect with the movie easily.
