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...

Follow your Heart. I got to know about the tagline after watching the movie. When you have the director doing what the tagline refers to then there is nothing that can go wrong! The story revolves around Karthik (Dhanush) whose passion is photography. He is blatant, weird, and jobless. He has a group of friends. In comes Yamini (Richa) who is dating one of his friends. Things get complicated when she connects with Karthik. Their tumultuous journey forms the rest of the movie. The movie moves at its own pace. It touches on many basic aspects of life in a subtle manner. Dhanush has done an exceptional job. Richa outshines Dhanush by miles. She is a revelation. The only thing that was a downer was the BGM which was so out of place in many of the sequences. Selvaraghavan never makes an attempt to connect with the audience. He has made a movie which will please him at the end of the day. And those are the products which will have the best quality. This movie is not a crowd-pleaser. Watch it alone or when the cinemas are empty. Else you will have a lot of boos and whistles distracting you.
I can say proudly that there is a tamil version of Lynch or Kubrik now. Just follow your heart and believe.

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.

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.
Richa Gangopadhay is she a débutante? Unbelievable Emotive reactions are masterpiece
Dhanush Performance was amazing it shows that he must not act films like papilla , vinegar.
The movie can be scored much more in back ground music, Even GV has done a great work, still this subject has a great value for BGM. If music composed by U1 the movie would taken a little bit high
Cinematography by Ramji its just amazing, It Gives soul to the Screen.
Selva had given a great Movie, he penned a wonderful story Hats off to him.
