ReviewRomance, comedy or reference to colonial history, Telugu director Anudeep Kv’s first foray into Kollywood has no grasp of all three.Bharathy SingaravelCourtesy/SureshProductionsTwitterPrince has lapses in logic that are larger than some of the potholes peppering Chennai streets right now, post the corporation’s work on the storm water drains. Actually, if you find anything that remotely makes sense in the film, it is most likely accidental. In a school somewhere in Puducherry, Anbu (Sivakarthikeyan) and Jessica (Maria Ryaboshapka) teach history and English, respectively. Jessica is British and lives in Puducherry’s French Colony. Anbu is the grandson of a Tamil freedom fighter or so his father Ulaganathan, played by a Sathyaraj leaning hard into his comedic chops, keeps telling anyone who will listen. When Jessica and Anbu fall in love, Ulaganathan, portrayed so far as a ‘progressive’ father, has a meltdown. Because Jessica is British and not French as he’d assumed.

Telugu star Vijay Deverakonda has launched the hilarious theatrical trailer of Tamil star Sivakarthikeyan’s first Tamil-Telugu bilingual film, titled ‘Prince’.

The trailer gives away the fact that the film’s plot is centred around the love story of an Indian guy and an English girl and the problems that arise because of it.

Both Sivakarthikeyan and Maria Ryaboshapka are colleagues in a school. Although Sivakarthikeyan’s father (played by Sathyaraj), who is a social reformer, gives his nod, there are other obstacles to the love story.

Anudeep Kv has opted for a different kind of rom-com and narrated it in his style.

Almost every scene in the trailer is hilarious. Sivakarthikeyan shines in the character with his comedy timing and Sathyaraj too provides comic relief.
