The director, Nalan Kumarasamy's second directional film. His First, 'Soodhu Kavvum' was a massive hit and now back with this retaining the same lead actor. I did not remember the original Korean film this one was based on, but while watching it, I remembered some of the parts. I think the directed did well, because it is not easy to keep up to the original standards. And as usual Vijay Sethupathi did not disappoint me.
The Madonna Sebatian's Tamil debut film and she was wonderful. This story was told from her perspective, well mostly, particularly in the first half. The story of an engineering graduate who comes to the regional capital, Chennai, seeking a job in an IT company. As she struggles to get one in this competitive world, meets her new neighbour, a thug who often bumps each other and needlessly have quarrels. But later everything softens between them, because the two are struggling in their life somewhat similarly. So one another, they comfort each other during tough times, till one day when things forever changes in their life.
For Kollywood and its fans, this is an extraordinary piece. But for the international viewers, I'm sure you would have seen such films, even though it is worth a watch. The young filmmaker changing the Kollywood landscape. Soon film like this will become mainstream films and the big actor films would turn into the parallel films. Simple story, yet many interesting stuff happens. Todays condition of IT professionals were highlighted quite factfully. It was more a friendship kind of film, but there are enough fun. So I definitely recommended it to everyone, especially if you know the language, don't miss it.
8/10

Everything is well written.. We'll placed.. Except for climax.. I was expecting a better climax..
After making a black comedy film like Soodhu Kavvum the only thing you expect from Nalan is another laughter riot like the previous one and both Nalan and the producer clearly knows this. If you are expecting it to be a laughter riot, no it is not.
Thinking in the way how a modern girl falling in love with a local goon has become such a clinch in our kollywood industry, The film the way it is taken (especially the climax) makes total sense. Maybe this one is Nalan's stereotype in proving it right.
Yes the film is inspired from 'my dear desperado' but the way how Nalan makes this film in our chennai style adding engineering unemployment to the background you after to thank Nalan for it. The film could have been easily turned into an non sensible laughter riot but Nalan's light heated sense and making makes this love lovable with right amount of cute laughable scenes.
Thank you Nalan Kumarasamy and CV Kumar for this film. With Nalan and Karthik Subbaraj our future of kollywood is in safe hands.

generally the romance movies are clichés.but this one is different.unlike other blunder action stars in tamil, vijay sethupathy's role in the movie is just a common man like all of us.his mistakes, mindsets and simple thoughts are the subject of this movie.even though there is not much romantic scenes in the movie, i think this one of the best Indian romantic movie i had ever seen.a feel good comedy as well as an emotional film that satisfy all the elements needed for a good film viewer.
The plot is so simple. Nalan style of Narration is different. He Executes his skills in writing. The dialogues arengood with humour touch. Vijay Sethupathi is always Good. But there is no scope for his range of performance. Madona looks beauty and childish. Her best Performance comes at Pre interval sequences. Climax is but lengthy but ok. Songs are good. Locations are apt. Watch it for humour .Neat Comedy.
