Rhythm Srikanth (Ramesh Aravind) is Love

 

Ramesh Aravind's character in Rhythm, Srikanth, is so underrated.

I think it's time to properly honor the man I grew to admire over the years.

His sense of humor is endearing.

In an age where r@pe and distasteful jokes about a person's body is the norm, Srikanth's clean humor is refreshing.

He is straightforward.

Although him asking Chitra (Meena) if she'd marry him is quite abrupt, it reflects his honesty.

He is service-minded.

It does seem like he stalks Chitra. 

But he goes to her house to sell tickets to help the orphanage he volunteers at. 

So, even if he's stalking her, I'd forgive it because he's doing it for needy children's well-being.

He stays rooted to his wish to adopt a child despite rejection.

Just because three women rejected him because he comes with an adopted child, he didn't forsake the child for a bride. And Chitra falls in love with that kind of stalwart heart.

He defies his casteist mother.

We may love our parents but when they discriminate against others, we have the responsibility to rebel. Srikanth does it in 2 ways: 

1. By not backing down on adopting.

 2. By marrying Chitra - intercaste marriage.
