Romeo Juliet

Debutant director Lakshman comes with a romantic comedy which is a mix of emotional melodrama and comedy. The title says "Romeo Juliet" so if you are in for a conventional Shakespeare drama refurbished to modern days sorry the answer is a complete 'No'. Here the director has essayed his version of the modern day working youth of metro cities and their expectations when it comes to love and married life. Plot: Strongly nothing new. We have already seen the movie "Devathaiyai Kanden" which was an average grosser with Dhanush and Sridevi in the lead. So the base plot is exactly same. The director tries to link the entire characterization of the leads to today's working class lovers but I would strongly say he forgot all the reality towards the climax and made a cinematic ending (Probably he would have been scared about the results in the box office to have a tragedy climax scene) Screen play was quite engaging throughout.

Cast: Jayam Ravi and Hansika takes over the role of Karthick a celebrity gym trainer and Aiswarya the air hostess. Both the leads did a fair justification to their roles. There are quite a few supporting actors we see on the screen. Hansika has tried to act and was beautiful throughout the movie. But this girl is always showing up in full make up naturally she is fair complexion so she should know she doesn't need much. The friend's bunch of Hansika was a good selection particularly the girl named Tina was noticeable. VTV Ganesh as VTV Ganesh was there in the same role he used portray in all the movies. Vamsi Krishna and Poonam Bajwa in extend cameos guess what they are the lead pairs short lived groom and lover.

Technical: Music by D Imman was OK. The already hit no Dhandanaka song could have been shot with a better bang which the song deserves. Two and a half hour movie seems little dragging towards the end otherwise editing wise good show. Though could have avoided certain song sequences.

Verdict:

New trend Romeo Juliet won't disappoint you totally so a once watch Rom-Com suited to current youth crowd. My rating would be 2.75/5. (If the climax was not a cliché it would have fetched good ratings)

A typical rom-com, well what should be my expectations? we all know its gonna sway happy side and is not gonna have any mystery to solve, so the bar is already very low, the only expectation was good performances from the lead actors. And that is, missing.

The movie is the pinnacle of clichés, do you remember the TV serials, even if you don't watch it for a year and watch it again, you can still understand what the story is in a couple of minutes. This will give you the exact experience, nothing in this movie is awe-inspiring. I thought Jeyam Ravi could not get any worse after watching Thillalangadi, but he proves he can get a lot worse like this movie. Am truly surprised with this actor, he gives some stunning performances in the past and fades away. Even Nimindhu Nil was a not a blockbuster, but i really liked his realistic acting, he has got skill but he has just taken a oath to screw it more and more with every dumb movie like this I don't even want to talk about Hansika Motwani, she desperately tries to a bitch in the first half and ends up being a laughing stock. The same duo did a movie Engeyum Kadal, again it was a typical rom-com but it was much better movie only because of their acting, why does the director not understand this fact? If you think about the story it has got substance, a wannabe rich girl and a honest lover boy, its definitely not a bad ploy and i have seen worse, but no where in the movie the actors realise their character and makes a complete parody of it with their acting.

If a actor swears in the movie and you end up laughing, that by itself tells you where the movie is headed. Utter disbelief, the movie is way too long.. Again lets look at Engeyum Kadhal, the movie had very limited scope to entertain and the director knew it, the movie was just over 2 hours and if we take away 5 beautiful songs, it would just be an hour and half, which is totally acceptable. Here, the intro where we see 10 minutes of dub smash from various movies, which was no way related to the movie, that right there says the director has no confidence. The movie tries to be clever with the narration but as a thumb rule, narration should only used when you are backtracking events, not when you are going with the movie as it goes. Doesn't solve the purpose, it is like announcing in you marriage with a megaphone to all your relatives that you are getting married. Duh, they know it and that's why they are there.

A mediocre script made worse by pathetic screenplay and lackluster performances from two actors who have given some good movies in the past. A rom-com with awful songs is never gonna be remembered and this movie will be forgotten even before the end credits.

Ah, Romeo Juliet, the Tamil film that attempts to bring Shakespearean romance into a modern setting... or at least pretends to. The movie unfolds like a rom-com on steroids, complete with clichés, melodrama, and logic-defying twists.

The plot revolves around Karthik (Jayam Ravi), a fitness trainer, and Aishwarya (Hansika), a materialistic air hostess. Their relationship begins with lies, manipulations, and misunderstandings-because why not? Hansika plays a character who epitomizes the "gold digger" stereotype, while Ravi's character oscillates between charming lover and clueless doormat.

The film tries to sell itself as a tale of modern love, but it often feels like it's delivering a lecture on materialism vs. True love-except the lecturer is hilariously out of depth.

If you love over-the-top drama, this might be tolerable, but if you're looking for depth, you'll be left asking, "Why is this called Romeo Juliet when it's more like Tom and Jerry with love triangles?" The movie's message seems to be that true love conquers all, even when wrapped in stereotypes and shallow character arcs.
