With Love - movie review

Usually the love stories shown in movies have villains, who could be the very parents of the lead pair, or circumstances or their would be's, forced fiance/e so on and so forth.

In this movie, if you literally had to put a finger on the villain, it has to be the very character or personality of the lead pair(s) involved!! Adhuvum, you might've seen triangular, even quadrangular love stories. This one is a tetrahedron love story to say the least!! Wonder how in the world, the director explained the story to the producer to get this project financed. The hero was in love with a girl during his school days, who was in love with his friend. His love story breaks up even before he could propose. The heroine is in love with her class mate and her story doesn't even take off due to lack of response from the guy side. Simplea thaana iruku. idhuku edhuku tertrahedron nu feel panreengala. Inimay thaan matter. The heroine and hero are set for a blind date by the hero's elder sister, where they talk about their first love only to realize they were both from same school and the hero's first love happen to be the friend of the heroine. Idhula enna sikkal solreengala, tho varen. In present day world, the hero is now smitten with the heroine, who suggests that they go back to their school day crushes and express their unrequited. Heroine semma vevaram. She knows the ex love of hero is already married and he stands no chance with her, but for her own lover, she has not been in touch with, she still has a Schrodinger's cat chance. Idhula twist ena na, that boy who didn't respond to the heroine during school days is following her on Instagram under a different name and is deeply in love with her. So at one stage, the hero gets to meet his ex love along with his current love, who doesn't know that he is in love with her and the heroine gets to meet her ex love who is currently in love with her, which also she is unaware, but known to the hero. So finala how all the sikkals gets untied and the lead pair unite ngaratha they have told with traces of humor thrown across.

For anyone who watches the movie only on subtitles, they may mistake it for a Malayalam movie, for the way the story is taken forward, the chaos, the humor and the ending, all makes up for agmark mallu bran of love story. Add to the mix that the heroine is actually a mallu and her dialogue delivery is at its best Tamalayalam or Malayamil, it adds on to the feel of watching a mallu movie!! Hero is the director of last year's surprise hit "Tourist family". Rest of the cast reminds of "96" movie, especially the muslim girl who plays the ex lover of the hero. She herself seems like heroine material and is quite confident in the way she has essayed her role. The humour touch definitely helps the movie and carries it forward without sagging. Decent one time watch for a relaxing weekend.
