Sillunu Oru Kadhal

After the immensely successful Ghajini, expectations for Surya's movies have skyrocketed. His new movie, Sillunu Oru Kadhal is very different from Ghajini and Aaru, as it, like the title suggests, is a romantic film, with excellent chemistry between the characters, Jyothika and Bhoomika. Although it starts off like any other Indian love story, the movie really draws you in after the half-way mark, when the real 'twist' of the film is introduced.

The director has to be applauded on his fine job, bringing comic, actions and romantic elements together well, but his camera work does get a bit shabby at places. This is an infrequence though.

The two 'negatives' of the film are the fact that Vadivelu is somewhat underused in this. The other is that while Rahman's music is good, it is not up to his usual standard, and is certainly one of his worse films.

On the whole, however, a good, enjoyable film that should keep Surya's career blossoming.

Such an lovely story... The music was awesome... Munbe vaa still in majority people's heart... Many of them are still hearing daily including me... Surya such an acting talent powerhouse... Lovely performance by jyo... Boomika rocks it... Superb film

sillunu oru kaadhal is just an awesome movie that has been well made, which gives a balance btw songs, jokes, action, affection and love.. don't totally go by the preview of the movie.. i found the movie review to be more inclined on the negative side.. in fact the entire movie looks very much practical.. Jyothika searching for Bhoomika and asking her to spend a day with her husband only portrays how much she loves and values her relationship with Surya.. At the same time, the pain and anxiousness to know what happened during that one day only justifies the storyline.. Kudos to débutant director Krishna for giving such a wonderful movie to the Tamil industry, for different angle of thinking and a very positive approach to the entire storyline! Great Work..

I just watched this movie yesterday. And i have to add, I simply loved the show. The storyline is an easy one and the beauty of the movie is they didn't went on to add "masala" to the show unlike so many other Tamil movies. Kunthavi (Jothika) is married to Gautham (Surya). They have a real lovely daughter and she made the movie a joy to watch at so many scenes. Gautham Is he as simple as he seems to be? Well that and more are answered when Jothika accidentally comes across his diary. And from then on its all about the love and affection that a husband has on his wife and the faith and trust a wife has on her husband that moves the movie so damn well till the end. Aishwarya (Bhoomika) has certainly improved in so many aspects from her debut movie Badri. She plays her role well and in nice proportions. Music scored by ARR is such pleasant stuff for the ears. Munbe Vaa song is a treat to the eyes and to the heart. Overall its a movie where you can bring your whole family to watch with. Myself I dun mind catching it another time in the theaters again.

Jilendru Oru Kadhal is a nice movie, i though Joythika did a real wife and i thought she acted really well. the chemistry between Suriya and joythika was excellent through out the whole movie. I though Boomika having this her returning movie gave a great start. the songs were great not excellent though i thought Munbe Va was excellent the screen play for it gave it the effect it needed. This story is all about Suriya-Gautham being a troublesome college student who falls for Boomika-Aishwariya and they plan a secret wedding at a registration office but the complications allows Aishwariyas father to come to know and the whole wedding becomes ruined. Following this Guatham is beaten up very seriously. Aishwariya is sent away for good and due to an accident Gauthams uncle is put on a death bed and his last wish for him to marry Joythika- Kunthavi who is small village girl who herself is not up to this marriage either and wants love marriage. But all of that doesn't stop them marrying each other and Kunthavi and Gautham get married. Six years later they have a cute daughter and are a happily married couple who have undying love for each other. In due course Gautham a Machanic gets a promotion and goes for a conference in USA and whilst gone Kunthavi find Gauthams old college diary and comes to find out about everything.Once Gautham is back things are different but soon they are happy again. But Kunthavi still has that thought in her mind and without Guatham knowing she talks to Aishwariya who now is a totally different girl all hip and modern. Reading Gauthams diary she tries to fulfill his wish of living one day with Aishwaiya. She invites Aishwariya over and allows them to have a day together. But Gautham isn't in love with Aishwaiya anymore and all he can think about is Kunthavi. Unhappy with the decision Kunthavi made he stays at home. Aishwaiya comes and Kunthavi goes. Kunthavi stays at her boss/friends house and takes some rest. Whilst sleeping has a dream of Guatham having the time of his life and suddenly realises her decision was totally wrong. She rushes back home to finds Guatham alone and a letter on the desk. Telling Kunthavi all about how Gautham could only think about her and Aishwariya was grateful she gave he a day but she is happy that Gautham is happy with her and with that happiness she leaves. Kunthavi walks up to Gautama and looks at him, he explains to her that he only wants her now that diary was just a phase and he was more than happy to be here now. then the story ends. it was a great movie and i recommend it to everyone
