The film Mr. Medhavi directed by Neelakanta hit the screens today. Raja and Genelia is the lead pair. The film is a love story with a slight twist in the presentation. The director gave the title as 'Mr. Medhavi'. So we all assume that the hero is Mr. Medhavi.
Medhavi means an intellectual or a genius. But the hero, Raja is not exactly an intellectual or a genius. He is plain street smart. He is actually a cunning fellow who takes advantage if gullible to further his cause. By no account can we term him as Medhavi. He is just plain smart, cunning, cold and calculative, selfish etc. Bit not a Medhavi by any stretch of imagination.
On the other hands, Genelia, with her sharp brain and caring nature is the real Medhavi in the film. She brings about a change in the attitude and way of thinking in the hero. She accomplishes all this without giving an inkling of doubt to the hero. Even the audience is kept guessing till the end. So it would have been more appropriate if the title had been given as 'Miss Medhavi' and not Mr. Medhavi.
