It also presents a viewpoint of the elders. The film doesn't present a chauvinistic view of the issue, but highlights how carelessly youngsters take decisions in life without even an iota of guilt or responsibility. In essence, it makes you empathize with the characters till the end. There are scenes, especially in the second half, that persuade you to slip into the shoes of the lead characters. The intermittent laughs in the first half are a delight, while the slowed-down narration post-interval may not be entertaining but definitely piques the viewers emotionally. In only one hour and 46 minutes, which is the film's biggest plus, AKS is an honest effort backed by natural performances. 'Aadhalal Kadhal Seiveer' (AKS) is a campus love story of two youngsters and how their immature love gets convoluted by various other factors, which impact not only them but also others. Kudos to the director for writing and narrating an impactful story. Any story dealing with a social problem is either extremely preachy or overtly melodramatic, but what we get here is an intelligent output sans cliches. Suseenthiran handles the film bravely without compromising on the message it sets out to deliver to its audiences.
