Miss You

Seriously Disappointing!

What I hoped would be a charming rom-com turned out to be one of the most poorly directed and performed movies I've seen. It's plagued by an illogical story, cliched and cringeworthy dialogues, and an uninspired background score.

The plot revolves around Vasu, who suffers memory loss after a car accident and forgets two years of his life. The premise had potential, but it's bogged down by absurdities like the term "Intermediate Memory Loss" (it should have been "Intermittent Memory Loss"). The story itself is riddled with nonsensical and contrived scenes. For example, Vasu randomly meets a stranger at a railway station, accepts a ride to Bengaluru, and becomes best friends with him overnight. There are plenty of such head-scratching moments throughout.

The narrative pacing is a mess, with scenes stitched together in a way that feels jarring and incoherent. While a few dialogues manage to land, most are dull and forgettable. The background score by Ghibran is another letdown-it fails to elevate any scene and is often misplaced. The songs, especially "Marhaba," felt completely out of place, especially in a romantic context.

On the performance front, Sidharth's portrayal of Vasu is disappointing. Despite his years in the industry, his expressions remain stale and lifeless. Ashika, as the female lead, fares better and brings a touch of sincerity to her role. Balasaravanan, Lollu Sabha Maran, and Karunakaran provide occasional laughs but don't leave much of an impression. The negative characters feel completely unnecessary and add no value to the story.

If you're curious about the film, skip to the last 6-7 minutes. That's all you really need to see. Save yourself the other 120 minutes-it's not worth the time.

Verdict: Strictly Avoidable (but hey, it's still better than Indian 2! 😄)

Siddharth is one actor who chooses interesting projects, and with him in the lead, I was excited to watch. Sadly, at the same speed, I was disappointed too.

The film tells the story of a man who meets with an accident, only to find that two years of his memory have been erased. He falls in love with a girl who has a connection to him, further complicating his life.

The movie has an interesting premise, but due to a poor screenplay, it takes the wrong turn. There is no character development, making it difficult to connect with anyone. A fast-paced narrative does not allow you to absorb the emotions the makers are trying to convey. Whether it is romance or friendship, the story remains superficial, never exploring anything in depth, ultimately making this movie nosedive.

Siddharth is an excellent actor, and he performs his part earnestly. However, an actor can only do so much, and even he couldn't save the botched script. Ashika Ranganath, as the leading lady, is a miscast, as she maintains a singular expression throughout the film. For a romance movie, the lack of chemistry between the leads is a major problem.

Every now and then, the movie breaks into songs, which not only hamper the flow but also become irritating. The songs are bad, and strangely, every one of them is a lip-synced dance number that makes no sense in the context of the story. The villains, being politicians, come across as mere jokers, as they fail to do anything to the common people who oppose them.

Lacking emotions, depth, and even logic, this rom-com drama could put you to sleep. Best to avoid it for your own good.

Positives: Nice story Fantabulous acting by Siddharth - very natural, easy and he has definitely improved in leaps and bounds.

Negatives: I do not understand this monotonic dialogue delivery in many Tamil films now. The directors are trying to imitate ManiRatnam but fail to understand his nuances, Pretty mediocre acting by the others. The parents, friends underact and overact at different times making it unpleasant.

The new girl's character is a little poorly written ; but they make it come together at the end.

Still - worth watching for Siddharth's natural acting and the interesting storyline.

A neat and nice time-pass watch from director Rajasekar with good performances from Siddharth sir & Ashika mam, plus the rest of the cast! Ghibran sir's background score and music were nice, but some songs seemed forced into a dance number. Stellar production value from 7 Million Dollar Studios team as well!

Good - I liked the story line and the humour portions were good. Sidharth's acting was genuine. The Director has avoided melodrama in quite a few places (even though the opportunity was there). Most importantly, I liked the fact that a climax fight scene has been avoided Can be better - heroine's acting was ok. Quite a few scenes were just convenient - especially that marriage album.

Ugly - the friendship between the hero and Karunakaran is unbelievable. Even though some songs were good, quite a few of them were not needed. In second half we are able to predict as to what is going to happen next!!

Overall a nice film, and worth the watch. Not sure why it didn't run so well.
