Neethane En Ponvasantham by Gautham Vasudev Menon (Review)

Story: A well portrayed realistic romantic drama. Love and hustle bustle of life. A very good story and resembles a lot about a male and a female differences in defining love. The movie is musical. The story goes along with music throughout the movie. Sweet and soft dialogues, Gautham at his best after Vinnaithandi Varuvaya. Definitely a good benchmark for upcoming movies.

Cast: Jiiva as Varun and hero of the movie. Of course he is the best in his work. He played a good chocolate boy look. Just that he didn’t look so school boy at first, but his act from being college student till end was marvellous. Great gesture and body language extracted the romance out of him. Emotions when acting as a responsible son was his highlight act. Samantha as Nithiya, cute and cuddly. All her appearance suits her from school girl to an adult woman.  She portrayed her role as a girl who’s not good in making important decisions in life. We can see the maturity grows throughout the movie. Santhanam as Prakaash and a good choice to tickle our bones throughout his presence. An important role and kept the momentum of the movie going with his comedy. 

Screenplay: First thing to notice is the cinematography. First class work. The camera angles and rotation were awesome. Second is the dialogues, Gautham Menon is the man of the match. A lot of striking one liner which will get your attention. The beauty of the movie is that making it as realistic as possible. There were couple of scenes which was taken in one shot to create the hype of the situation. And the most important highlight of the movie is our Maestro Illayaraja’s Music. This movie is more towards musical. The BGM really created a good mood throughout the movie. There was a scene which dragged the movie but the climax will be a trade off since it had a really good ending. Some new romantic elements but some were common. But overall it was great way of showing love. Some scenes had this usual Gautham touch, nothing new.

Music: The music is by Maestro Illaiyaraja and a very good plus point for the movie. All the songs were attached with movie very well.

Plus Point: Cinematography, Music, Dialogues, Story, Screenplay

Minus Point: Lengthy at a point, some stereotype element of Gautham Menon.

Verdict: A movie worth watching with your loved ones. Sure to extract the romance in you.
