My Dear Bootham Review - A feel-good Fantasy flick for the Kids

G GOWTHAM
A protagonist frees a trapped genie from an item, and the latter's problems are then resolved by the genie's magic. In this instance, Thirunavukkrasu (Master Ashwath, the super deluxe child), trips over a statue and frees Karkimuki (Prabhudeva), a genie imprisoned inside of it. Thiru's stammer gets him into all kinds of difficulty, including being made fun of by peers, insensitive teachers (like Samyuktha) at school, and an overprotective mother (Ramya Nambeesan). So, after turning things around at school with the help of Karki, who calls him his "deivam," can he fulfil the genie's one wish, especially with his speech impediment getting in the way?
My Dear Bootham's aesthetics are identical to those of the children's television programme Jee Boom Baa, which used to air in the early 2000s, in terms of both text and visuals. The content is all superficial and uses an exaggerated tone, which is made much more obvious by the gaudy graphics. The visual effects are comparable to those in a rama narayanan movie. Although it is obvious that the filmmakers desire to present a children's movie, they also appear to have determined that it would be sufficient to appeal to just their intended audience. Therefore, while youngsters, especially those under 10, would find the movie funny, adults will find antics like Prabhudeva impersonating cartoon characters and appearing with tom and Jerry, too infantile.
The two stars have a major role in why the movie works to the extent that it does. While Ashwath excels in the moving scenes, particularly his monologue in the climax, Prabhudeva, who has frequently displayed a flare for humour, tries to elevate the subject by giving it everything he has. The theatrical treatment and the bland filmmaking are somewhat overlooked thanks to the performances of these two actors.
