Description: “Oru Pakka Kathai,” a 2020 Tamil film, stars Kalidas Jayaram and Megha Akash in the lead roles. Written and directed by Balaji Tharaneetharan, the movie is produced by K. S. Sreenivasan under Vasan’s Visual Ventures. Filming commenced in December 2014.
The story begins with a Bhagavatham discourse, where director Balaji Tharaneetharan introduces the characters. Meera, portrayed by Megha Akash, is a young girl navigating unexpected circumstances, while Sara, played by Kalidas Jayaram, is her supportive boyfriend. Both sets of parents agree to their marriage once Sara completes his education and secures a job.
However, tension arises when Meera misses her period, leading her family to discover she is pregnant. This news shocks everyone, and the parents decide to arrange the marriage immediately. Surprisingly, Meera is still a virgin, adding a twist to the narrative. The director ties this back to the Bhagavatham discourse, incorporating elements like a cartoon depicting Lord Krishna’s birth and Sethu, a schoolboy who believes he is a divine incarnation.
The film explores themes of tradition, misunderstanding, and unexpected turns in life, blending humor and drama effectively.
