Abhiyum Naanum (film)

Abhi and I) is a 2008 Indian Tamil-language comedy drama film produced by Prakash Raj and directed by Radha Mohan.

[3] Raghuraman alias Raghuram is a simple man who manages estates and doing his own business in Ooty.

Raghuram gets amazed when he sees Jogi on TV with the Prime Minister and gets slightly impressed.

One day when a large group of people, whom Raghuram assumes to be Jogi's relatives, turn up at his house, he gets frustrated.

Raghuram tells Sudhakar that daughters are the sweetest blessings from God and they should be proud parents.

He also warns him that time flies by real quickly and that he has to enjoy the maximum with his daughter.

[11] This film marked the third collaboration between Prithviraj and Prakash Raj after Mozhi (2007) and Velli Thirai (2008).

[citation needed] Trisha was the director's first and only choice for playing the title character Abhi.

[14] For the role of Venkatraman's Punjabi uncle, over sixty sardars from Mumbai auditioned before Manmeet Singh, known for his advertisements, was chosen, marking his Tamil debut.

[9] The songs and background music were composed by Vidyasagar, with lyrics written by Vairamuthu.

[15] Pavithra Srinivasan from Rediff.com rated the album one out of five stars and wrote that, "Barring infrequent flashes of his earlier works, there's very little to write home about.

[16] Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog wrote that "After a stellar Mozhi, the Radhamohan-Vidyasagar combo crashes with a thud".

[7] Sify said, "Frankly speaking, the Prakash Raj- Radha Mohan combo's Abhiyum Naanum is nowhere in the league of their previous oeuvre Mozhi.

With a touching title like that, one would have thought the director would have a more solid script, but somehow it fails to strike a chord like their earlier film."

"[20] The New Indian Express wrote, "The delicate evolution of the father-daughter relationship, and the former’s reluctance to accept that his daughter has grown up, is narrated with humour and sensitivity", calling Abhiyum Naanum "Yet another feel-good entertainer from the Mozhi team".
