Oru Pakka Kathai. It means “a short story”, a story short enough to be told on a single page. It also means “a one-sided story”. It revolves around Meera (Megha Akash), who is a typical college-goer. She still has that girly innocence—she sleeps in a cotton candy-coloured night-suit that has a butterfly pattern all over it. Meera is in love with Saravanan (Kalidas Jayaram).
The film is about a “miracle” that erupts in their lives, and it’s apt that it opens with a religious discourse in Meera’s house. (This is a good point to note that “Meera” is itself a religious name.) This long stretch—anchored by the discourse—is easily the most beautifully sustained piece of direction by Balaji Tharaneetharan. He orchestrates a small symphony of rituals and domestic chores, gestures and murmured words.
