180 by Jayendra


Story: A Love Spree with a lot of emotion and drama. Didn't emphasize a lot on entertainment. The plot was predictable and there were some elements of Philosophy. Yet this movie wont be a trendsetter for romance as par with movies like Alaipayuthey, Minnale or Vinnaithandi Varuvaya.

Casting: Siddarth had made re-entry in tamil cinema after 7 years. He had made his part well as a happy-go-lucky guy for 1st half of the movie. There were very tiny amount of overacting element at first few scenes. other than that he did very well in expressing his fear, anger and not forgetting his romantic gestures and expressions. The 2 lead lady was very attractive as in Nitya Menen was cute and bubbly while Priya Anand was Hot and Sexy. Nitya Menen had this peculiar voice made her look so cute wen she talk. All her move and the way she looked at Siddarth with love was convincing. But Priya Anand's performance was not as good as she look. She overacted in most of the scenes.Maybe for the suffering part less overacted. One thing that should be appreciated was she dubbed her own voice for herself. Basically these casts solicited love and romance through their Good Looks as in Prince Charming and Lovely Princess projection.

Screenplay: The way romance brought up was cute and sweet as in how Priya Anand gets Siddarth call her, How Nitya Menen asks Siddarth out for Movie, or How Siddarth makes Birthday surprises for Priya Anand. Of course we expect some lip locks for such movie, and yes there were 4 scenes and 1 repetition of 4th scene as Siddarth imagines it back. But don't worry you cant see those four scenes at any cinemas in Malaysia except for the last repetition scene.So that is spoiler. Nitya Menen's character was a turning point of the movie yet her love seems to be brought up in a very meaningless manner. And they fit in a short mother sentiments in between, where they introduce a mother character for a while and they killed that character in a very short time. it doesn't relate THAT much in the story. Most of the scenes were predictable. And ya another spoiler was showing a Devil's Visual throughout the 2nd half of the movie.

Music: Shareth composed for this movie, his last tamil movie was June R. Music can be said as plus point of the movie. Soft symphony with a lot of melody works suits the theme well. Nee Korinaal Naanam song was superb. It was visualize and Choreographed well.

Plus Point: Cinematography was really Good. I can say they used a very High Definition Camera as u can see the details were so clear for instance the water flow, the rain, sunshine and etc. Music was relaxing and suits the situations. A few cute and sweet romantic scenes.

Minus Point: The story line were dragging a lot. You will feel the movie lengthy. Less Humour. 1 of the  Lead lady overacted.

Verdict: Can be watched at Cinema only once for the liveliness of certain scenes.
