Time goes by and Rajakumaran grows up to be a man, along with his love and longing for Nandini.
As chance would have it, Raju spots a mannequin with a mark on its face (a big mole). The mark resembles the one his friend Nandini had and this makes him get emotionally attached to the mannequin.
At one point, he imagines the mannequin to be his long-lost love Nandini and begins to interact with it.
It is under these circumstances that Rajakumaran has to leave for his native place to attend a family function. When he returns, he finds that the owner has sold off the mannequin he adores to some store.
He begins to furiously search for the mannequin. When he can’t find it, his anger changes to rage and he ends up murdering the store owner. What happens after that is the rest of the story.
Unlike several other films by Radhamohan, who has a reputation for making meaningful and enjoyable entertainers, ‘Bommai‘s story is highly artificial.
SJ Suryah, who plays Rajakumaran, comes up with yet another stellar performance. He tries to carry the film on his shoulders almost single-handedly.
Priya Bhavani Shankar, who plays the role of Nandini, delivers a commendable performance. Playing a doll is difficult but to Priya’s credit, she does a fine job on most occasions in the film.
Chandini, who plays a girl who shows interest in the lead character of Rajakumaran as a sales girl in a textile shop delivers a good performance, too. She has a very limited space to perform in this film but does justice to the role given to her.
Yuvan Shankar Raja’s background score awesome and DOPs job is eye-catching.
