Saba Nayagan

Rom-coms in any language are a light watch, and thus, this seemed like a good choice, especially since Ashok Selvan mostly delivers good movies. But boy, I didn't know I was about to be proven wrong.

Saba narrates his love life from his school days to the present to appease the police officers after being arrested for causing a nuisance in a public place.

The story takes you through various stages of Saba's love life-how he fell in and out of love each time. But despite multiple love angles, none are interesting or unique enough to stick with you. If an emotional route wasn't the goal, the film could have at least been funny, but it fails there too. The entire movie meanders toward nothing, and the suspense factor introduced at the end makes no sense, leaving you even more disappointed.

The saving grace is Ashok Selvan, who delivers a solid performance and keeps your interest, but even he can't salvage a shallow script like this. A series of good-looking actresses have been cast, and while they are all decent, none leave a lasting impression.

The jokes land in places but, overall, feel bland. The songs are hummable yet forgettable-nothing that would make it to your playlist. The cinematography is a plus, keeping the movie light and breezy to watch.

You're definitely not recommended to watch this one, even if you're an Ashok Selvan fan. Save your time and energy by skipping it.

Why more people aren't talking about this film, I don't know. Underrated, IMO. Don't watch the trailer if you haven't. I went into this film with no prior idea of what this was about, and about half way through, I thought "there's nothing new in this film, but it's really enjoyable". Boy was I wrong...about the first part, which we'll get to.

I'm not a fan of the RomCom genre but I thought Thiruchitrambalam was a fun movie. Most romance movies are sappy or too commercial, hardly relatable. This, however, you have (or somebody you know has) lived through about 90% of plot of this film. It will take you on a nostalgia trip (not the easy-way-out kind) like most movies haven't in a long time.

The cinematography deserves a special mention, not for showing scenic locations well, but for showing certain characters a certain way that you can hear your childhood friend go "Kavithai da. Kavithai!" I didn't care for the songs in Thiru'balam, and I didn't care for the ones in this film either. Regardless of how old the plot is it was FUN! Relatable, humorous. And then, the part that I DID NOT except.

One of Ashok Selvan's best works. What a 2023/24 he's had! Everybody else was great at what they were given.

What I saw in this film, I have NOT seen in any other film before. Mindblowing? No. But maaaybe, yes? That last part changed how I viewed the entire movie. Credit to the writing team. How wrong was I about the "There's nothing new in this film" part!? XD But hey, glad to be wrong this time.

Don't miss out on this one. Hardly anybody is talking about it, I don't know why. 90's bois, you'll LOVE it.

"Love Struck" takes audiences on a delightful trip down memory lane, reminiscent of those cherished college days filled with innocent love and laughter. Ashok Selvan shines brilliantly, delivering a heartfelt performance that tugs at the heartstrings. The chemistry among the characters is palpable, thanks to the well-written script and stellar casting. Special mention goes to the supporting cast (Friends) whose sparkling humor keeps the audience engaged from start to finish. Kudos to the director for his adept handling of both writing and screenplay, making "Love Struck" a must-watch for romcom enthusiasts.

In one word this movie is a wonderful rom-com with stellar cast perfomances especially Ashok Selvan steals the show with brilliant loveable acting. The female leads have also done a good job. But it is Ashok Selvan who steals the show. There are many brilliant cinematic comedic moments in this film with call backs to classic films and meme songs at appropriate times. I kid you not you will smile so much throughout the film that your mouth will hurt. With Nakkalites Arun also scoring heavily in the comedy. Overall a wonderful feel good movie which can be watched with family. The music could have been a bit better in my opinion but at this point i am just nitpicking. I have nothing but praise for this film.

Cheers!!

The director of this movie cs kartikeyan cleverly uses several callbacks from classic films and manages to perfectly hit the nostalgia felling which all men would be able to feel. This movie is a perfect blend of romance, comedy and emotions. The crew does an Expectional job, especially the lead, Ashok Selvan as saba he is nearly in every other frame of the film but never makes you fell saturated and he is great in romantic portions. The female leads also do their job exceptionally well but kartika muralidaranhan is a standout among all the girls viviya(not sure about the spelling) as saba s sister is perfect,and the girl who played riya is has done the job but doesn't match the charm of ashok selvan she clearly is a mismatch in the song where the dance together. Megha akash also doesnt fail to impress us with her brief presence on screen. Jaiselan and arun fill the void for comic and are natural on the screen. This is films is so underrated. This film is for all men, clearly and cleverly depicts the struggles of a boy in getting his girl. This movie surely deserves tour time and attention.
