Angadi Theru is one of the better Tamil movies, it has the right dosage of realism, portrayal of love, good screenplay and overall a good story line. The story progresses with Jothilingam (Mahesh) joining Senthil Murugan Stores as a Sales boy after losing his father to a tragic accident.
Jothilingam meets Kani (Anjali), a strong minded independent and mischievous girl in the store. In a battle of wits both start to put the other down, which progresses into each setting up traps for the other ending in Kani getting beaten up by the store supervisor, who further goes on to misbehave with Kani. Jothilingam upon knowing about the misbehavior feels guilty. Jothilingam's guilt makes him avenge Kani by intentionally throwing a big box on the supervisor resulting in injury to the supervisor and subsequent hospitalization.
The trials and tribulations bring Jothilingam and Kani together and they fall in love. The story captures the innocence of teens in their first job, the way love blooms due to people reacting to adverse circumstances, instead of just good looks and sweet talk.
All in all a very good movie, barring the accident in which Kani loses her legs, which imho was an overkill. The challenges which the couple go through were sufficient to bring out tears in the audience. The actors and actresses do justice to their roles, Anjali as Kani stands out with her natural acting ability and girl next door looks.
