NEP got released with huge expectations as it is a Romantic Film Directed by Gautham Menon who had given wonderful Romantic movies like Minnalae, VTV to our Tamil Cinema. Ilayaraja Songs were creating sensation among the youth. Few people felt that the songs sounds too old and doesn't create same magic like A.R.R.
in VTV. Santhanam one liners and Movie trailers mentioning “it could be your love story” created huge amount of curiosity among Youngsters. Check out the review to know whether the Movie will satisfy only the Youngsters or even Common Man.
Story of the Movie is nothing new. (Love u, Miss u, Hate u, Leave me, Forgive me) * 4 = NEP. In other words, it is Ilayaraja’s Musical Album with lengthy dialogues in-between which are repetitive.
Jiiva had performed brilliantly as usual and really suits the character in all the roles - school boy, teenager, a youngster and a professional. He had shown variation for each and every role with great care. It is high time that Jiiva gives importance to STORY rather than the Directors.
Samantha really looks like an Angel in most of the scenes especially while wearing Saree. This is the best movie for her till date. Her expressions speak much more than words.
Santhanam is the only saving grace in the movie. Without him, it is difficult for most of the people to watch the movie even once. He comes throughout the movie and his one liners are the major highlights of this movie.
Cinematographer M.S. Prabhu & Om Prakash was good in most of the scenes. They have tried to experiment by keeping lots of wide range shots without cuts in the movie which really irritates the people. Especially, the scene before the interval with long shot will really test the patience of the audience.
Editor Anthony should have cut more scenes in the movie. Most of the scenes were really dragging and looks repetitive. He should have cut the long shot scenes with big dialogues without giving second thought.
Music by Ilayaraja was the USP for this movie. But, the songs are misplaced in the movie and it doesn't go well with the audience. Gautham Menon who had given wonderful platform for Ilayaraja to show his talent and skills once again, let him down by placement of the songs. Ilayaraja is KING OF BACKGROUND MUSIC, but surprisingly he doesn't have much opportunity to show his talent in the movie as most of the scenes are just occupied with lengthy dialogues only.
Gautham Menon had tried to recreate the same magic which he did in VTV. But, completely fails in this one. VTV was a hit because of outstanding music by A.R. Rahman and decent screenplay. It is very hard for any director in the world to just show the love moments for two leading pairs for 154 minutes. He must have believed that Ilayaraja songs alone will save this movie and didn't even bother about the screenplay which doesn't move at all throughout the movie.
Very very slow screenplay, Repetitive Scenes, unnecessarily keeping long shots, songs misplacement will definitely impact the success of this movie
People, who don’t like the songs of this movie, give it a MISS.
It is the movie to be watched with Lover and not with friends.
For Lovers who think they are in deep love and watch the movie along with their lover, Ardent ilayaraja fans, guys who think VTV as the best Romantic movie, Rating would be – 3 / 5
Rating for this movie for a Common Man - 2.25 / 5
