Engeyum Eppodhum

This movie really makes one to think a lot after watching it.First,the storyteller of the movie asks you then and there to make a note of the behaviors /incidences the fellow passengers go through and how eventually they were part of the ill fated bus.At the end,(after the accident) he recalls all such behaviors/incidences and makes you to realize how each one of those cost them to end up in such a tragedy.These kind of movies are very rare in mainstream Indian cinema where people make themselves set for a joyride before start and are awaiting happy endings once the movie takes pace.That is were the movie scores big -> It unexpectedly switches you to a different tone,different from the usual and anticipated climax and still manages to entertain you throughout.

Also, the way in which romance gets shape between the lead pairs is cool as always in any good romantic tamil movie.

Bouquet to debutant filmmaker Saravanan for etching out a film that speaks about feelings of people and the value of every single life. With handful of characters, the director has come out with a flick that is filled with fun, joy, tears and other human emotions. What begins as a journey in a bus takes twists and turns, and when we think all is well that ends well, a shocking incident happens. But hold on! There is no preachy stuff as Saravanan manages to lace the message with lighter moments in the film. For many of us road mishaps mean just numbers - the number of people perished in such accidents. Rarely we get to see the colorful life the victims enjoyed without knowing that death is coming close to them. 'Engeyum Eppothum' attempts to take a closer look at such people. In a nutshell, it is the story of two couples who end up romancing in contrasting manner. They happen to meet at one point where a tragedy strikes in their lives. Sarva as a suave city youth fits the bill well. His cool and casual expressions are adequate for the role. Ananya as an innocent bubbly rustic girl who comes to city is impressive. Anjali as a out-spoken and straightforward girl in love with Jai is tailor-made for the character. All the characters are well-written and neatly conceived by the director. They resemble close to real-life. The narration keeps one engaged all through. The contrasting love, loss, gain and sorrow are beautifully portrayed. R Velraj's cinematography and catchy background score of debutant Sathya add solidity to the proceedings. All said, 'Engeyum Eppothum' is a whiff of fresh air in Tamil cinema. Saravanan has certainly made his mentor A.R Murugadoss, who has produced this film along with Fox Star Studios, proud. Finally my rating for the movie is 10/10

It's A R Murugadoss's maiden production venture. Fox Star Studios ventures to co-produce the same. With the likes of Jai, Anjali, sharwanand and Ananya in the cast, the movie has garnered a lot of attention. The movie is publicised as the journey of life.

Story is about two lover couples, their desire to get united in life. But what happens if a tragic incident plays spoilsport in their lives. A road accident involving two buses at a National Highway in Villupuram occurs. Meanwhile, a flashback unfolds and the romance between Goutham (Sharwanand) and Amudha (Ananya) and Kadhiresan (Jai) and Manimegalai (Anjali) is narrated.

A soft-spoken good-hearted Kadhiresan falls for a young nurse Manimegalai, who is opposite to his nature. She is out-spoken and practical in life. Amudha gets attracted to Goutham, who helps her in Chennai when is stranded in a bus stand unable to know where to go when she lands from Tiruchy for an interview. Kadhiresan and Manimekalai take a bus to go to go to their hometown, while Goutham also boards the same to see Amudha and open his heart. At the same time, Amudha takes the bus in the opposite to come and meet Goutham. What the buses collide is what the film is all about.

Performance: It is a tailor-made role for Sharwanand. The suave and stylish looks come handy for his character. Equally impressive as a chirpy innocent girl is Ananya. She continues from where she left in Nadodigal. Anjali as an out-spoken girl, who takes every step in her life with caution is equally impressive. She seems to be enjoying the good run in the industry, doing varied roles so early in her career. The real scene- stealer is Jai. As innocent young man in love with Anjali, he is impressive. He brings out the innocence in his character very well. There are a host of new faces in the film who bring freshness to the script.

Technicalities: If debutant filmmaker Saravanan is the captain of the ship, he has been ably supported by cinematographer velraj. He captures the contrasting lives in Chennai and rural areas well. The mishap scenes and thereafter are well shot by him. Equally supportive is Sathya with his musical score. Not just the songs, but also the background score adds pep to the whole proceedings. Kishore's editing is crisp and it makes the whole fare racy and riveting.

Analysis: All the characters are well-written. The narration keeps one engaged all through. One gets a feeling of travelling in the bus as the film progresses. The film is a mix of feel-good moments and at the same time emotional moments. Three cheers to Saravanan for making a crisp talked that is racy and riveting and at the same time carrying a strong message. My overall rating for the movie is 10.

This is one of the greatest movie from Tamilnadu and the new debut director Saravanan made a fantastic work. Actor all done there role that what ever they want to give. Cinematography is excellent Songs and background music are colorful and have good remembrance. From the movie starts at the cleaning of the buses, story of the movies travels with the bus that happen before the that particular days.
