The story unfolds in 2006 and introduces viewers to Vasudevan (played by Sarathkumar), his devoted wife Shanti (portrayed by Devayani), and their two children—Prabhu (Siddharth) and Aarthi (Meetha). Vasudevan's sole ambition is to accumulate enough savings to purchase a permanent residence for his family. However, time and again, life throws obstacles in his path. Whether it's paying for Prabhu's engineering education, attending to sudden medical issues, or covering Aarthi's marriage expenses, his goal remains constantly just out of reach. The emotional tension revolves around whether this family can finally claim a space of their own.
Siddharth delivers a restrained and powerful performance as Prabhu, convincingly evolving from a restless teenager into a mature adult grappling with responsibility and reality. The film's production was largely based in Chennai, and Amrit Ramnath composed the soulful music that underscores the emotional beats of the narrative. Dinesh B. Krishnan and Jithin Stanislaus contributed to the visual storytelling as cinematographers, while editor Gamesh Shiva shaped the film into a 2-hour-20-minute final cut.
Earlier in the year, Siddharth appeared in Test, a direct-to-digital feature alongside R. Madhavan and Nayanthara. With 3BHK, he brings yet another emotionally rich character to life, anchoring a film that resonates deeply with audiences seeking stories grounded in everyday Indian realities.

‘I saw Virat Kohli crying in the bathroom': Chahal lifts lid on when India star broke down and 'had tears in his eyes'
Yuzvendra Chahal's recent interview on a YouTube podcast show with Raj Shamani has been grabbing eyeballs. The India spinner spoke on a variety of topics, and much of the attention fell on his divorce saga. He opened up about what went wrong in their five-year marriage which ended in divorce recently. Yuzvendra Chahal spoke about the former India captain's heartbreaking moment. But Chahal also reflected significantly on his international career, and spoke about Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, ending up comparing their captaincy on the podcast. 'I love how Rohit bhaiya carries himself on the ground. He's a very good captain. With Virat bhaiya, it's the energy he brings, the same energy every day. It will only go up and never down. Same energy. Every day,' he said. Yuzvendra Chahal lifts lid on when he say Virat Kohli 'crying in the bathroom' Chahal also spoke about India's heartbreaking 2019 World Cup semi-final exit at the hands of New Zealand, where the match stretched to the reserve day. The host asked Chahal if he had ever seen Kohli cry, and pointed out the recent IPL 2025 final, where the batter was in tears after RCB wn the title. '2019 World Cup, I saw him crying in the bathroom,' he said. 'And then I was the last batter, when I was crossing him, he had tears in his eyes. In 2019, I saw everyone crying in the bathroom,' he added, revealing how shellshocked the Indian team were on that day. During his interview, Chahal revealed that divorce talks with Dhanashree had been going on for sometime, but it wasn't mentioned to the public. Chahal was also accused of cheating on Dhanashree, and the spinner revealed that it was a lie, and he never cheated in his entire life. 'I think when my divorce happened, people alleged me of being a cheater. I have never cheated in my life. I am not that kind of a person. You won't find anyone more loyal than me. I think from my heart for my closed ones, always. I do not demand, I always give. When people don't know anything, but they keep blaming me, so you start thinking [otherwise],' he said.

Telecom testing just got cheaper as govt slashes certification fees by up to 95%
India has slashed the security certification fee for telecom equipment makers, the latest in a series of regulatory moves to ease business compliance requirements for companies importing or making telecom and tech equipment or products indigenously. Companies such as Nokia, Ericsson, Cisco Systems Inc., HFCL Ltd, and Dixon Technologies (India) Ltd will benefit from the government's decision to cut the fee by up to 95% for more than 50 categories of telecom and tech products. These include routers, connected devices, satellite equipment, smart meters, optical fiber cables, and 5G and WiFi gear, according to a government official and an internal document reviewed by Mint. 'Testing of telecom equipment is a key requirement," the official said, declining to be identified. 'The current downward revision in pricing pertains to the fee paid by the companies to the government to get certification, which is also known as security test report evaluation fee." A telecom or tech equipment maker or importer needs to engage a lab designated by the government to test its products and ensure the devices are safe for users and secure for communication networks. The government will later issue a security certificate if satisfied with the lab's report. Effective 1 August, the cost for this certification has been slashed to ₹10,000-50,000 per equipment model from ₹2-3.5 lakh. The National Centre for Communication Security (NCCS) on 30 June circulated a note to Department of Telecommunications officials informing about the reduction in the security test report evaluation fee. 'On an average, the overall cost for testing comes to ₹60-65 lakh per unit, which largely includes the third-party lab-testing costs," said Paritosh Prajapati, chief executive and founder of Sweden-based broadband equipment maker GX Group, which is a beneficiary of India's productivity-linked incentive scheme for the telecom sector. 'While this reduction in certification fee now is a breather, there is also a need for the government to increase testing labs and increase their capacity," he added. A time-consuming process The relaxation in testing and certification costs for telecom companies comes at a time when India is engaged in key trade negotiations with the United States, even as the US announced a 25% tariff plus a penalty on Indian goods from 1 August. In March, the US Trade Representative (USTR) had raised concerns about India's testing and certification system. The concerns included limited testing capacity, a slow and complex registration process, cancellations over non-safety issues, and high compliance costs. 'The US government has recommended that the Indian Government recognize internationally accredited labs, harmonize labeling requirements withglobal practices, harmonize the validity period of test reports and certification, and eliminate retesting requirements," USTR said in its report. India has seven designated telecom security testing labs, and has issued 92 security certificates so far, NCCS data show. HFCL, Cisco, Dixon Electro Appliances, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, among others, have applied and received security certifications for different products. While India launched the Communication Security Certification Scheme in 2020 to streamline the process, there have been delays in implementing rules related to certification. Also, as telecom equipment makers raised complaints about inadequate testing capacity and a cumbersome registration process, the scheme has not been universally applied across the telecom ecosystem. While the government's decision to reduce the security certification fee will help the industry, 'the more challenging part is the time consumed in this process of testing, which also needs to be brought down", said Konark Trivedi, founder and managing director of telecom equipment maker Frog Cellsat Ltd. The industry also needs a system to ensure that every equipment entering the country meets the government's security criteria, he added. Ease of doing business, but at what cost? Apart from a security certificate, telecom companies are also required to obtain a trusted source certification from the National Security Council Secretariat, and mandatory testing and certification of telecom equipment, which is issued by the Telecommunication Engineering Centre. On 7 April, the National Centre for Communication Security excluded products related to optical network terminals and optical line terminals from mandatory testing and security certification, and including them under the voluntary security certification regime till 31 August. NCCS also waived administrative and security test evaluation fees for the period. An optical line terminal is the main device at a telecom provider's end that manages data flow over fiber networks. An optical network terminal is the device at the customer's home that converts fiber signals into internet and other services. The fee reductions were part of the government's efforts towards improving ease of doing business in India for global telecom equipment makers. On 15 July, Mint reported that India had dropped its demand that telecom equipment suppliers hand over proprietary source code, a key piece of software that controls the working of an equipment. Instead, manufacturers are required to provide just a summary of internal security test results. However, local gear makers expressed concerns sustained pressure from multinational companies may have influenced the government's decision to relax its source code sharing and certification requirements.
