Santosh Subramaniam is a 2008 Indian Tamil romantic comedy film directed by M. Raja and produced by Kalaprathi S. Agoram. The film stars Jayam Ravi and Genelia D'Souza in the lead roles, while Prakash Raj, Geetha, Sayaji Shinde, and Sadagoppan Ramesh play supporting roles. The film is a remake of the successful Telugu language film, Bommarillu, which starred Siddharth and Genelia D'Souza in the lead roles.[1] As of 2008, a Hindi remake of the film titled It's My Life was reported to have been planned with Harman Baweja in the lead, and with Genelia D'Souza reprising her role.[2][3]

The film's narrative revolves around a father and son relationship; the father's dotes on his son, who resents his father's dotage. The son's choices and his ambitions to achieve something in life are subdued by his father. The father his own dream to build a house. The son marries, breaks his ties with his father and experiences his newly found independence. At the end of the film, the father repents his foolishness and the happy marriage of the protagonists.

Santosh Subramaniam was released on 11 April 2008 during the Tamil New Year festival.[4][5] It won accolades and positive reviews, and became influential in Tamil cinema along with Yaaradi Nee Mohini, starting a trend for family orientated films.[6]

Plot

A baby takes his first steps on a beach while the father supports him. The son, Santosh (Jayam Ravi)—who is now 24 years old—begins verbally abusing all the fathers in the world. When inquired about his disgust, he says that his father, Subramaniam (Prakash Raj), gives him more than what he asks for, and chooses his clothes and hairstyle. Santosh vows that he will choose his career and his future wife for himself.

Muthu (Sathyan) the family's servant wakes up Santosh in the morning. Subramanium—who is Managing Director of a construction company—asks Santosh whether he will will join their office and help manage the business. When Santosh deliberates, his father impatiently plans for Santosh's marriage. The next week, his father announces that Santosh will get engaged to Rajeswari (Kirat Bhattal) against his wishes. Rajeswari is a spoilt woman whom Santosh does not like. However, with Subramaniam’s final say, they get engaged.

While contemplating his options in a temple, Santosh meets Hasini (Genelia D'Souza), an engineering student. Seeing her chirpy nature and vibrancy, Santosh begins to like her and tries to see her regularly. Eventually, he realises that he has fallen in love with her.

Santosh applies for a bank loan to start building his career. His love for Hasini deepens and he wishes to propose to her. He tell her that he is engaged to Rajeswari against his wishes, but he wants her. Hasini is dejected abouth his engagement but a day later she accepts his proposal. Santosh is ecstatic but his father is furious and admonishes him. Santosh expresses his disinterest in marriage with Rajeswari. When Subramaniam asks his son why he likes Hasini, Santosh replies that if Hasini can stay with their family for a week, then all their questions shall be answered. He persuades Hasini to stay at his house after seeking permission from her father Govindan (Sayaji Shinde).

When Hasini is introduced to Santosh’s family, she gets a lukewarm welcome. As she settles down in the house, the family begins to like her. Subramaniam reprimands Santosh when he knows of his bank loan and his plans, which further enrages Santosh. His entire family along with Hasini attends a wedding. Hasini cheers up the ceremony with her playful nature. Govindan recognises Santosh as the drunken young man whom he encountered on an earlier occasion. Hasini realises her father's presence and quickly exits to avoid his attention. Santosh admonishes Hasini for her antics at the wedding; she is sad and angry and moves out of the house. She rebuilds trust in her father. Santosh is left forlorn; Lakshmi confronts Subramaniam on Santosh’s choices. Santosh opens up his heart and leaves his father to repent his foolishness. He asks Rajeswari and her parents to call off the impending marriage. While they relent, Subramaniam persuades Govindan to allow Santosh and Hasini's marriage. In return, Govindan wants to know more about Santosh, and invites him to live in their house for a week, to which Subramaniam agrees.

Cast

Production

The key elements

Despite early indications that the same team that worked on the original, Bommarillu—including Bhaskar and Dil Raju—would remake the film in Tamil, the pair said they were not interested.[7] Raju was willing to sell the remake rights and held twenty previews in Chennai for potential buyers.[8] Veteran editor Mohan, under his home company Jayam Combines, outbid Prakash Raj, who wanted to remake the film with Vishal in the lead role.[9] Others outbid included Vijay under Appachan Films,[10] Bhagyaraj for his daughter, Saranya,[10] and Ravi Krishna under the banner of A. M. Rathnam.[10] Mohan handed the director's role to his son Raja Mohan, and the lead role to his second son Jayam Ravi. The film would become the trio's fourth consecutive Telugu film remake.[a]

Soon afterwards, the production house announced an ensemble cast, which included Prakash Raj, Geetha, Sayaji Shinde, Kirat Bhattal and Kausalya in prominent roles. Other actors—including Santhanam, Premji Amaren, Srinath, Sathyan, Vijayakumar, M. S. Baskar former cricketer Sadagoppan Ramesh and Sathyaraj as a narrator—were added later.[citation needed]

The entire production of the film took about nine months. The technical crew for the project was predominantly the same as that in the company's previous venture, Something Something Unnakum Ennakum. The film had its launch on July 16, 2007 with the attendance of all the lead actors, including guests Dhanush, Sibiraj and Jeevan.[4] The invitation card for the launch was highly appreciated, with images of prominent fathers and sons from India, ranging from cinema to politics.[4]

Casting, location and music

Jayam Ravi was chosen for the film because his father owned the production rights and his brother directed the project. Genelia D'Souza was chosen because of her performance in the original, for which she was critically praised. Despite experiencing disappointing results in some of her previous Tamil films like Sachein and Chennai Kadhal, she thought the film would change her status in the industry.[14] The camaraderie that the lead actors shared during the filming added to their performances. Prakash Raj was chosen because he befitted the character he portrayed and had also starred in the original production. Geetha was persuaded to play the role of the lead actor's mother.[15]

The palatial house where the main character's family stayed is part of Ramanaidu Studios at Nanakramguda, Hyderabad. Several modifications were done by the art director, Prakash and two songs were shot there. Two songs were shot in a montage, another two in Wellington and other places in New Zealand and at a temple in Kakinada.[16]

For the film's music and soundtrack, Raja renewed his previous association (Something Something Unnakum Ennakum) with Devi Sri Prasad, who predominantly used his tracks from the original film. Siddharth Narayan, the lead actor in the original, sang one of the tracks from the film.[17]

Release

Reception

Santosh Subramaniam was released worldwide with 72 prints. Owing to the success of the film, around another 30 prints were issued. The film was released in India with a "U" (Universal) certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification.[18] After opening at number one, the film earned over 2.5 crore (US$300,000) in Chennai alone by the end of the seventh week.[19] The reception in the United Kingdom was equally successful, entering the UK box office at number 40.[20] The film was released in four major cities, collected £10,067 in its first week of opening and earned a cumulative gross of £24,962 in its three week box office run.[21]

Critical response

The film received generally positive reviews for the story and the actors' performances. Pavithra Srinivasan of Rediff gave the film a rating of two and a half out of five; she called the film a "classy remake of the Telugu blockbuster Bommarillu (Toy-house), the movie is a love-story but it strives to be something even more".[22] The three lead actors, Jayam Ravi, Genelia D'Souza and Prakash Raj, garnered praise for their portrayals. Pavithra Srinivasan said D'Souza's character "appears a little too good to be true, at first. But her character grows on you", and praised Prakash Raj's performance, saying that the role "was a cakewalk" for him.[22] Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu praised the music, locations and the main cast's performances, and wrote that in the film, "dull moments are rare, enjoyable ones aplenty".[23]

Sify Entertainment said D'Souza's portrayal is "the soul of the film" and its "biggest strength"; he called Ravi's performance "mature" and Prakash Raj's "outstanding".[24] Behindwoods gave the film three stars out of five and called it a "[w]ell made family entertainer". The reviewer wrote, "[w]atch Santosh Subramaniam for that ‘feel good’ feeling, overlook minor glitches", and said that Prakash Raj is "the real master" who "proves his class yet again".[25] Settu Shankar of OneIndia said, "[t]here are few minuses in the script but those are very minor and not affect the flow of the story". and concluded, "[o]verall, Santosh Subramaniam is a promising entertainer that brings the first word of the title in every viewers mind for long time even after come out from the theatre".[26]
