And GV Prakash Kumar does a pretty good job in capturing the obnoxiousness of this character. In a delicious irony, we get to see this man, who boldly admits to masturbating many times in a day, reduced to calling himself as impotent. Though there is some glorification of the character, at least initially, the filmmaker balances it by turning him into a joke later. In short, he is not a character who is likeable, and Sathish doesn't try to make him so. The film doesn't judge him, but merely portrays him as a confused young man who is incapable of being empathetic to those around him (he doesn't worry even when his actions land his mother and sister in prison). a self-centred, carefree young man with hardly any redeeming qualities. His Darling is a character new to our cinema. With a tone that could best be described as Arjun Reddy-meets-Angamaly Diaries, Sathish Selvakumar's Bachelor is an often fascinating, indulgent peek into the life of a deeply flawed character.
Where does this cold splash of reality take them next? She wants to keep the baby, and he, obviously, doesn't! He, in fact, is insistent that she aborts the baby. Their raging hormones ensure that everything feels hunky-dory (this is not a romantic film!), until. She seems wise to his ways, but one thing leads to another, and soon, they are in a live-in relationship. He worms his way into sharing her flat, and starts stalking her. The only two things on his mind seem to be getting a bottle to drink and snagging a girl to snog.Īnd when he meets Subbu (Divyabharathi), a friend of a friend who is working in his office and happens to be single, all he sees is a prospective girlfriend. Like the roosters in the mansion which he shares with his friends, he struts around with hardly a care.
He is in that phase in which he is enjoying the freedom of living by himself, free from the restrictions that living with one's family brings. He is an aimless youngster from Coimbatore, working in an IT firm in Bangalore, staying with his friends, who also hail from his native.
Bachelor Movie Review: Darling (GV Prakash Kumar), the protagonist of Bachelor, is the kind of guy who doesn't care what others think of him.
