Reviews
Srinivasan portrays the role of a young man with a lot of family responsibilities. He has two sisters to marry off and a household of four to look after, but he is a good Samaritan only for the society. With the society taking advantage of his altruism, he soon finds his family degrade, with a tragedy after another. And so goes the story of an irresponsible man in Nettipattam (Mane Leaf of Status) that manages to capture the village milieu and realistic take on society's off-handedness splendidly.
