99

The movie has a love story which is stretched over two and a half hours - An unmarried guy Ram (Golden Star Ganesh) meets his 1999 batch school love Janu (Bhavana) after 20 years at a school reunion and then he regrets on not expressing his love to her in the first place. The film revolves around a somewhat complicated love story where Ram hides his feelings within himself without unveiling it openly to Janu. The film also shows his state of mind as muddled and how he has lost his confidence to love someone else in his life as he's unable to forget her. The first half of the film is enchanting where their earlier school life in Theertahalli in Shivamogga is shown. The second half shows their present life and is quite a strain to watch. The actors Hemanth and Samikshaa who have played as younger Ram & Janu have performed brilliantly. Especially the cute and beautiful Samikshaa will steal your heart with her charming, sweet smile & acting. Ganesh & Bhavana have also delivered their performances very well. The cinematography by Santosh Rai is excellent and the music by Arjun Janya in this film which is his 100th one is quite good. Although there are some melodious tracks, they don't create much of an impact on the viewer. The film has a very slow pace and it drags at many places where silence & pauses are used with minimal dialogues. All in all you can watch this film if you have the patience to sit through a slow paced romantic film.

I love the way this nostalgic story is portrayed in this movie. Its difficult for everyone to like it, some one with a similar story will relate to it more. Lovely acting by the lead actors, especially Bhavana. Fantastic dialogues , acting everything.

Most of the negative comments are just because this movie is a remake of a tamil movie 96. I haven't watched the movie '96', so i cannot compare it with this movie. But this movie is just awesome. Acting is also good.

Being a great lover of tamil movie '96 this movie disappointed ; trust me still if i hear any one song from the tamil movie it end up watching once again ; such a movie . Feel sorry to write a negative comment , if you are here to know about the movie ; watch it in tamil version with english subtitles or without . Its a movie for heart . Everlasting love of janu and life of ram . Please watch it in tamil .

Throught the movie, the environment of the movie is very remenecent of both the year 1999's and the modern world of today. I liked the tone of the movie and the music but many aspects of the movie couldve been improved, especially the story area.
