Every time dad Vasu and his clan scrape together enough cash for their 3 BHK dreams, life throws a curveball. Capitation fees for underperforming son Prabhu (Siddharth). Daughter Aarthi's (a sublime Meetha) marriage. Medical bills.
The cycle repeats with clockwork precision.There's undeniable warmth in watching this family stumble through familiar territory. Prabhu's reluctant transformation from IT drudge to someone who finally chases his mechanical engineering dreams rings true.
Seriously, Siddharth doesn't age! He's believable as both a schoolboy and a grown-up. Sarathkumar brings genuine pathos to the perpetually worried patriarch. Devayani who plays Sarathkumar's wife Shanti, is adequate.But familiarity breeds tedium here.
The beats arrive exactly when expected: the well-meaning father who makes questionable decisions, the son who rediscovers his true calling after years of mediocrity, the sacrificial daughter whose potential gets sidelined. Yogi Babu's brief role as a broker offers a couple of amusing moments.At 140 minutes, the film tests patience without offering much beyond recognition.
Yes, the struggles will ring a bell. Yes, you'll appreciate the absence of manufactured drama. But recognition isn't the same as engagement. 3 BHK constructs its narrative like its titular apartment: functional, predictable, and standard.
