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)

Avoid at all cost. Time is precious. Don't waste for junk like this.

Just an avg flick. The combination scenes between jayam ravi and vtv ganeshan was just avg and the actor jayam ravi as usual he done the job well.

Creepy cliche cringe film. Dont have any story or acting or songs or anything valuable. I never found both actors any good. There are so many movies made of same kind and wonder how director and producer didnt think of it before jumping in. Same movies are made by Vijay, Vikram, Dhanush, Surya, or every Tamil telugu hindi kannada malayalam film actors in one or their other version or even remakes . Only thing missing was some over the top action where there is another villain who kidnaps her and the hero runs fights and kills the villain and both accept each other. Wow what a story. May be even add social media like brahmin dalit caste this that nonsense and few artistic shots and people will say such greatest movie ever made . Stupidity is full on in Indian movies and this is one kind .

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.
