      A decent love story

      A fantastic romantic story. After a long time had felt worth watching a decent love story, all four key characters have made their part really well. The way the actor manages his friend and love is superb. The comedies are so gentle, that are nicely placed such that it doesn't spoil the romance, in other words I can call it as right blend of both the factors. Background score adds up to the moments. Pitfall that I find in this movie is the dance sequence that could have been made better though the songs are pleasing to hear. Almost all the scenes have been captured so lively in IT industry. In short it's a good package that leaves some pleasant memories for all fun loving IT folks.

      An Absolutely Adorable Watch

      The easiest way to review Leelai is this: if you are a romantic person at heart in search of a decent love story that adheres devoutly to the genre of romance with no wanton distractions, this is the movie you have been waiting for. The plot was pretty simple but at least there were no gaping plot holes in it-not as far as I could see. It was very sweet and simple and the leads in the movie- Shiv Pandit and Manashi Parekh were extremely good in bringing forth their emotions considering the fact that they are newcomers in the industry. The movie showcased the lifestyle of the urbanites of modern India and I would have to say that the director avoided being to formulaic while making a valiant effort to make a movie that tilts more towards the realistic side of life with regard to the backdrop of the movie. The songs in the movie? They had superb lyrics impregnated with meaning, if you would care to look for it. All in all, the best thing about this movie is that, it does not pretend to be something it is not. At the beginning it promises to be a light- hearted, romantic plus comedy flick and that is what you get throughout the movie. In my humble opinion, the storyline was well paced since it was neither draggy nor rushed. At the very least, if you decide to enjoy the movie, that is what you should feel and I sure hope you would enjoy it because it has got this air of freshness permeating through it that you would not get in most Tamil movies.

      So disappointed. No subtitles. The overview got me interested and was really looking forward to the movie.

      Very nice light-headed watch!

      Surprise package. Shiv pandit has underplayed and has made a mark for himself. Very good direction and a nice watch. The story is not all that great. But it didn't need to be. All the actors have played their roles well and the songs are pleasant to the ear. The background music is nice. I really cannot think of a strong negative aspect in this movie. I give it a 9 because of the story line not being strong enough. The actress has played her role well too. Wonder why this movie took about 3 years to be released! Shiv pandit could have had an earlier break in the tamil film industry. Suhasini raju has played very well as a supportive actress.
