Usually in the love triangle geometry it is usually either a "one
girl - two guys" formula or a "one guy - two girls" formula. Unnai Ninaithu is based on the latter one with Surya, Sneha and
Laila forming the story. Like in any other Vikraman's story where the hero is not any multi-millionaire jobless youth chasing
girls but a striving to be successful, humble receptionist of a lodge. A new manager moves in with his family to take over
the responsibility of the lodge. Sneha is his daughter. She starts developing a soft corner for Surya, as if not for that,
the story would not have had an option to move in any direction. Unsatisfied with his sense of direction the director rolls
back into a flash back. Sneha discovers that Surya was earlier in love with Laila. Though his salary is not as big and generous
as his heart, Surya affords to educate an intelligent yet relatively poor Laila. But while he is away on some trip a friend
of him comes to be befriend Laila's father taken by Laila's beauty. Thalaivasal Vijay (Laila's father) convinces himself that
it would be worldly wise to get Laila married to the wealthier friend than Surya. When Surya returns he is morose from Laila's
betrayal. But later on he finds his wealthy friend cheated Laila, so he puts all the betrayal and hurt behind to still educate
Laila into becoming a doctor. While the director manages to teleport us back to future, we find Sneha still in love with Surya
and assured that our tolerance level has gone up also along with the soaring mercury in the summer heat. The movie ends in
a typical railway station scenario where the hero makes his choice between the two lady loves. 'Redundancy' is the keyword
as far as Vikraman's direction goes. Surya does what is expected out of him. Sneha and Laila also give what is little expected
out of them. The songs of Sirpi also have a Vikraman stamp to them. Try laughing if you feel what you see Charlie & Ramesh
Kanna have managed to deliver as comedy.
