Notable star Sasikumar is all in a different genre this time, targeting city based look and feel. The movie is all about two childhood friends who are separated in chase of dream and later getting in touch in the journey called life.
Bramman starts with Sasikumar and his Modern Theatre which he runs in the Coimbatore city along with Santhanam. Santhanam really provides relief for the audience with his usual comic sense. Sasikumar creates scenes to come up his positive attitude towards life and friendship. The actor/director has no space in proving his acting talents and heroine Lavanya Thirupathi is fresh and young looking catches the attraction from the audience for sure. Sasi kumar is criticised and left humiliated for unable to earn anything from the theater and decides to find his friend who is a famous cinema director in Telugu industry to seek help in renovating his theater. With this the first half of the movie leaves the Coimbatore city and travels to Chennai in search of Sasikumar’s childhood friend, Naveen Chandra.
The second half starts in Chennai with Sasikumar not able to meet his friend and Soori trying to become an assistant director enters the frame replacing Santhanam to help Sasi Kumar to find his friend. Sasikumar accidently happens to meet Jayaprakash a famous producer and narrates his real life incidents. Jayaprakash offers him a chance to direct the movie mistaking him as an assistant director of Naveen Chandra. Then the movie is dragged to test patience and climax is ended in a fairway.
Sasikumar exhibits emotions, romance, comedy and friendship in a different manner with not violence is a big relief for the family crowd. An easy guess can be made scene by scene, Music and BGM looks pale and unpleasant. Bramman is the creator – not life but friendship.
