One of the commonly heard complaints is that the laws that were to protect women caught in poor marriage have become an appliances of crime in the hands of dishonest women. This was cruel to the game of PMG Mayurpriya Ennaddy Pene (Story, Dialogue, Disha P. Muthukumaran).

Vandana (Anu Suresh) is a lawyer, because she was doing injustice to her husband, harassing the deep mistrust of all men. In cases of divorce, she always appears to women, and proudly says that she never had a male customer. The sharp dialogues with humor resonated with the audience.

When Sundaram (Sai ​​Prasad) and his wife Prithi (Divya Shankar) decide to separate, Vandana, for the first time, takes the cause of Sundaram, thus a male breaks the customer’s rule. Prethi is looking for monetary benefits from isolation. Vandana tells both sides that it is best to participate in its interest, on the basis of mutual consent. If not, they should be ready for court proceedings. Here, the playwright showed how disappointing the legal system could be. As called Latin Clash Claum Juice Nebulosam The easier the facts are, the more obfusting law is.

The play highlighted the fact that in many cases, marriage was nothing more than a business contract. Tamil plays usually have very few female characters, but it was charming to see Ennaddy Pene Seven women were characters. The actors distributed their lines without a bottleneck and with a suitable modulation. But the story of Annadi Penn was Threadbare. Nothing really happened in the play. The only incidents were Sundaram’s marriage and his quarrels with his wife Pritathi. Vandana’s Dietribe and her long monologue became tiring against men after a while. It is separated by its effect to use a point. The lack of a well -structured story in Ennadi Penne was a defect. A story with a message makes sense, but a message may not be an alternative to a story.
