With the season of horror movies slightly coming to an end, the romantic and comedy genres have started up to showers it realms in theatres. While the other release of this Friday, Inimey Ippadithaan is a comedy entertainer with some romance and emotions, Jayam Ravi-Hansika Motwani starrer ‘Romeo Juliet’ falls into the ‘Romance’ genre. The film is directed by Lakshman and features some interesting star-cast like Poonam Bajwa, VTV Ganesh and few more prominent actors.
Jayam Ravi has been an ordinary man with ordinary lifestyle, who has been searching for true love in his life. On the other end of city, there is Hansika Motwani who strongly believes life without money and luxury isn’t worth living. She starts looking up for the richest guy to date and Jayam Ravi becomes the mistaken identity. Both of them come across each other and fall in love eventually, but sooner when Hansika Motwani realizes that Ravi is just a man earning 15K per month, she breaks up and moves away. Now what happens next has been narrated in a hilarious and quite emotional drama style.
Filmmaker Lakshmanan tries to bring forth the emotional context of love with some hilarious touch. The very opening titles of the film from MGR’s Anbe Vaa to Rajnikanth’s Thalapathy, Kamal Haasan’s Guna, Ajith Kumar’s Kadhal Kottai, Vijay’s Kadhalukku Mariyadhai, 7G Rainbow Colony and finally with Dhanush’s Aadukalam. This indeed brings out the complete excitement among the audiences and sooner with the title song ‘Dandanakka’, everything is a celebration out there. After few minutes into the movie, there seems to be certain drop in momentum, where we see the scenes repeated with the narration slightly letting us feel tiresome. Post-intermission there seems to be lively moments with Jayam Ravi and Hansika Motwani together bringing out their best efforts in rendering a beautiful show. Their cute and loveable actions are very well done. Poonam Bajwa with her minimal role steals the show.
Technically, the film holds some prominence due to the background score and songs by D Imman and cinematography are laudable indeed.
The major plus of the film is sizzling chemistry of Jayam Ravi and Hansika Motwani, some hilarious episodes involving VTV Ganesh and others in the cast and some songs by D Imman. On the flip side, if director Lakshman had narrated the screenplay with some fresh aspects, it would have far better than what it is now.
Overall, Romeo Juliet might not be a classical masterpiece of romance, but it’s a feel-good love story that would surely garner some good response from multiplex audiences.
Verdict: Certainly enjoyable, but could have been better
