Mayakkam Enna

This movie is all about passion and love. Karthik Subramanium (Dhanush) is an aspiring photographer who wants to make it big in wildlife photography. He wants to join the famous photographer Madhan Krishnasamy (Ravi Prasad) who he thinks is his idol. Dhanush has a group of friends with whom he hangs out with. Sundar (Sundar) plays a vital role in this film as a friend of Karthik. Sundar introduces Yaamini (Richa Gangopadhyay) to his friends as his girlfriend. Yaamini later falls in love with Karthik. What happens to their love and friendship should be watched in theatre. This movie is not above the story, it's all about the way it has been told and the performance of the actors.

I don't want to provide any spoiler in this review. This is a typical Selvaragavan movie that shows the deep emotions of the characters. Love and passion has been portrayed very well in this movie. The best part of the movie is the dialogues. Each and every dialogue receives amazing response from the audience. The humour has been maintained through out the 1st half.

Ramji's cinematography stands out, i believe this is the best movie that shows his full capabilities. G.V. Prakash did well, the audio was already a hit. BGM doesn't have any soul. What Yuvan gave for 7/G Rainbow Colony is missing. Voda Voda and Naan sonadhu mazhai vandhucha has been shot well. While the expectation for Kadhal en Kadhal was really high, i was disappointed with the video. The casting made this movie look much better. Richa, Dhanush and Sundar have lived their characters. The dubbing for Richa which was given by Deepa Venkat gave life to Yaamini's character. Dhanush can express anything, he is the perfect director's actor.The portrayal of intense feelings of Love, Passion, Friendship, Alcoholism makes this movie stand out from the crowd.

Don't miss this movie. Please watch it in theatre. Youngsters are going to love this movie. The screenplay is crafted so well by Selvaragavan. Hats off to the Team! They have given their best.

A much awaited movie of the year directed by Selvaragavan(who given super hit movie like KadhalKondean,7G,Pudupettai,Ayirathiloruvan)cast Dhanush(a national award winner)and Richa in the lead roles comes out an excellent painful emotional story of a man who wants to become a wildlife photographer..

Ineresting plot in the first half is missing in the second half of the movie.. Selva's screenplay is too slow comparing to his previous film. If he given a strong second half then this movie should become a masterpiece of his career.

Dhanush given a solid performance and film by film he is showing his abilities of acting at one level above from all others of his generation actors.. especially his body language and expressions are very excellent.

Richa a debut film in Tamil have scope for acting and delivered neatly..

Cinematography by Ramjii gives flavors and mind-blowing visuals to the film. His camera-work is amazing and pull one step ahead of an usual Tamil cinemas.

Music score by G.V.Prakashkumar supports very energetic to the film to reach youngsters.The songs are already in chart-busters say Voda-Voda,Kadhal-en-Kadhal,Pirai-Tedum.

overall a worth watching movie.First half is much better than second half.

plus-Dhanush performance,Ramjji cinematography,G.V.Prakash music score,dialogs of Selva.

minus-very slow screenplay specially second half.

Review:

The movie is about protagonist Karthik (Dhanush) who is a passionate photographer, he struggles a lot and faces many problems to achieve his goal. He even risks his life to death cos of a betrayal. The Female lead Yamini (richa) character portrayed well. The other cast also did well. This movie is sure going to take dhanush to next level (as superstar said).

Technical:

Cinematography is outstanding, each and every frame. Thanks to Raami's for a mesmerizing visuals. GV Music is another great plus to the movie. "Kaathal en kaathal" n "voda voda" song is superb. At last Selvaraghavan achieved his goal. The movie sure worth your bucks…. Appreciate the efforts and talents.Guess this review will be useful for u...

This is a Typical Selvaragavan Movie which Touch and Says "There is a Women Behind Every Successful Man" You must have heard of this but See it Magically for the First Time ! Selva and Dhanush Combo Once again Fluenting ! A Very much influencing and Different Love Story which is Worth a Watch Twice ! GV and Cinematographer Ramji were Auspicious ! Richa (Actress) Deserves a Huge Applause for Handling the Movie with Dhanush Herself ! She has Been Awesome in Acting and Her Expressions are at a Sky Level .. Overall She deserves 2 stars out of 8 I have given and 3 for Dhanush and 3 for Selva ! Mayakkam Enna is Extreme Dizziness and Never Leaves the hangover Till You watch it a Second Time ! P.S Watch Out for All the Songs .. They Kick-Ass !

Mayakkam Enna is adept portrayal of an individual who follows is heart. Maverick film director Selvaraghavan once again does what he is best known for (playing with human emotions). Dhanush (Karthick Subramaniam) plays the complex role (photographer with shades of psycho)to a T. Richa Gangopadhyay (Yamini)as one of the friend's girlfriend and later as Dhanush's wife is a great revelation and commendable. Sunder Ramu (Sundar) as Dhanush's close friend and Richa's boyfriend does a neat job. The entire team of the friend's gang in the movie did a good job and looks realistic. At first, the voice (Deepa Venkat) of Richa's looks flat, but later the confidence of the character is strongly felt and looks distinct. Both the lead actor had emoted well throughout the movie with subtlety, which is worth mentioning. The real 'genius' (Karthick's name in the movie) is GV Prakash (Composer). The re-recording of the movie riveting and top-notch (hope the combo of GV and Selva continue for long time). The photography by Ramji is superb. The editing by Kola Baskar can be made sharper if the song sequence can be deleted (tribal song). The second half looks quite slow-paced, but the director has managed to convey the message through emotion (expression). Overall, the movie is an short episode in the life of an commoner who follows his instincts and guts but not preachy. Once again, kudos to Selva for doing a sincere and heartfelt movie.
