Veyil can be quite a strange title for a film when there is hardly a ray of light in the life of its protagonist. But then, it could also be a reference to the harsh rays that drain the life out of plants, leaving them dry, and the earth parched. That's how life has been for Siddharth (Shane Nigam), who has hardly ever had an extended period of happiness.
Out of the few years of his life that the audience gets to follow, there are only a handful of moments when he truly smiles from heart, as he does during the short-lived love affair with Shruthi (Sona Olickal), when they are Plus Two students. The script, written by director Sarath himself, traces back his sorrow, anger and frustration to his home, where he is taken for granted and not treated on par with his elder brother Karthik (Saed Imran), a medical student.
