The film has enough silliness to qualify as mild amusement, especially in the scenes with Bosepandi and his friend Kodi (Soori) – but these gags would work just as well as a compilation clip on YouTube. We move, quickly, to the aimless Bosepandi, MA M Phil (Sivakarthikeyan), the head of the titular society, whose responsibilities include (a) sending love notes to the local schoolteacher (Bindhu Madhavi), (b) falling, subsequently, for Lathapandi, and (c) ensuring that the entertainment event at the temple festival isn’t a devotional drama ( Valli Thirumanam), as proposed by Sivanandi, but a series of risqué item numbers by “Dindigul Rita.” (One of the songs, inevitably, is Nila kayudhu, whose intensely orgasmic stretch prompts a blackout.) It’s an odd start for a comedy – after all, how do you manufacture laughs from what appears to be an honour killing? Director Ponram’s approach is to treat this narrative thread as entirely incidental to the proceedings.
Did Sivanandi (Sathyaraj), the local big shot who loves to point his rifle at people, shoot down his daughter Lathapandi (Sri Divya) because she dared to elope? That’s the kickoff point for Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam, which translates loosely as The Society of Happy Youngsters.
