Guru Somasundaram is a mason by profession, but a raging alcoholic for almost throughout the day.
His wife Sanchana Natrajan, and two children are the ones who bear the brunt of his addiction, and their lower-class life only adds to their woes.
But when Guru finds himself in a rehabilitation and de-addiction centre one day, his frustrations only build up to be relieved from place.
With the humbug he creates, Guru is not able to get out of the rehab, but soon finds a way to escape, and that’s where his real struggle begins, and the film too takes an emotional undertone.
Directed by Dhinakaran Sivalingam ‘Bottle Radha’ is a decent drama that is equipped with highlighting performances.
The film takes a win when it does not slide to become preachy, but also carries a noble message said in a subtle yet dramatic way.
With Guru Somasundaram who plays the titular character unabashedly well, at the forefront, Bottle Radha takes a win with the cast’s performance.
The film is equipped with close to reality acting by Sanjana Natrajan as Anjala and John Vijay’s benevolent yet stern rehab owner has poignant presence in the film.
Music by Sean Roldan gels well with the theme of the movie. Roopesh Shaji’s camerawork is impressive. Rest of the technical aspects of the movie are passable.
