Mayakkam Enna by Selvaraghavan




Story: A dedication for photography. A novellic and smooth story with good blend of romance,comedy,drama and inspiration. A life of a man who determined to be a wildlife photographer, the ups and downs he went through. Seems so obvious it is a quickie for Selvaraghavan but still it has a heavy and meaty storyline. Even a very good sense friendship was portrayed in this movie. 

Casting: Dhanush is the lead man in the movie. This could be a very good benchmark for him after his national award winning Aadukalam. Of course no compromise in his performance, he brought up the character Karthick the photographer who is eager to learn and succeed very well. And his spontaneous gestures and acts towards the lead lady, awesome. Richa Gangopadhyay is a newcomer in Tamil cinema yet she is not new to cinema. She is seen in a few telegu movies. Maybe her lip sync might have some flaws and first half of the movie was not her play. But second half belongs to her. There are scenes she really performed one of the best where a newbie cant do. An attractive star as well.  And we have Sunder Ramu doing supporting role and an important role in the movie. A very good friend of the lead cast in the movie. Ravi Prakaash also played a vital role in this movie. He turn out to be the turning point of the movie.And finally there are a few supporting character played by Pooja Balu, Soni Barring and Mathivanan Rajendran.

Screenplay: A well planned screenplay. good editing. It was taken in usual Selvaraghavan style, in slow pace. Not so draggy and every scenes were taken as realistic as possible. Romance were really good especially on how both struggling to admit they like each other. Comedy was spontaneous. And there were  scenes which will go deep down the heart. All the song has its own significance, nothing were wasted. the transition was good. The commit suicide attempt scene might be unnecessary but it was misleading the story somehow. The photography throughout the movie was lively and good choice of location yet some were artificial. The scenes where Dhanush show his passion towards photography might gain peoples interest in photography as well. The movie has a positive message at the end of the movie.


Music: The music was composed by G.V.Prakaash. Song were superb one of the plus point of the movie

 
Plus Point: Storyline, Music, Screenplay, Richa and Dhanush acting.

Minus Point: Transition into second half & Lengthy 


Verdict: Good novellic movie. To be watched with a lot of patience. A very good and inspiring movie. Worth watching in cinema.
