Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

sribornagain-394-460163 "Kathalil Sodhapuvathu Yeppadi" (KSY) is as pleasant & heart-warming as the short film of the same name on which this movie is based on made by the same director Balaji Mohan. How to mess up in love is a pertinent question for many youngsters today & the writer-director has tried to find answer in a pragmatic way in his debut feature film. Movie has many incidents which might ring a bell in most of us , those who are in love , those who were in love & would interest also who might fall in love. This alone in enough for it to turn eye balls towards it & create waves in the Box-office.The narrative style is so fresh which strikes a chord with audience right away. Almost all the scenes from the short film are re-enacted here as well with the same amounts of finesse & charm. The casual way of telling the story coupled with plenty of witty scenes makes the screenplay work. Though there are instances where one might feel the screenplay is trying to meander away from the course & in couple other it does lags a bit, these are only minor deviations on the largely smooth & lucid screenplay. Dialogues are witty & intelligent at the same time sound so casual. Balaji should be lauded for this because it is very difficult to write lines on this subject without trying to be preachy. Except for couple of instances towards the end where some dialogs get monotonous, on the whole dialogs are too good & enjoyable.Casting & performances of the cast is also faultless . Siddarth fits in perfectly in the role of the engineering student who falters repeatedly in love . Amala Paul has also acted well in the role of the temperamental lover girl though one still might wish Regina who did the short film could have been retained. Arjun is damn hilarious with his timing as well as in his demeanor. Vignesh , Pooja , Suresh , Ravi Raghavender , Shyam & Balaji does neat supporting jobs.Nirav Shah has tried something new this time. He has managed to bring in the short-filmish flavor but at the same time not stooping down to the level of amateurishness of the short-films. In Thaman's music "Parvathy, Parvathy" is delightful dance number while "Azhaipaya azhaipaya" is a nice melody as does "Thavarugal Unargirom" . Background score is also done with the flavor of the movie in mind & has come out well.Balaji Mohan is a promising find for Tamil cinema while KSY would finally launch Siddarth in Tamil Cinema & for Amala Paul , she continues with her merry ways in the Box-office.On the whole , "KSY" is a perfect outing for the Valentine season.Bottomline : Thoroughly enjoyable

krishna chaitanya Are you in Love? Do you want to fall in love? Or else you just don't want to fall in love but want to know about love? Before seeking knowledge about LOVE, understand one ground rule, BOYS CAN NEVER UNDERSTAND GIRLS. When this rule is underlined and understood completely, then there is no need to explain what love (especially for boys). Love is all about understanding girls and what they want. And that is the USP of Siddharth's latest film which hit the screens. "LOVE FAILURE" which has been produced by Siddharth himself on his Etaki Entertainments banner and is directed by, Balaji Mohan who earlier made some short films on similar theme.One peep into the film, you will know why is everyone (almost, if I am right) are talking about this one. Love Failure is all about Arun (Siddharth) talking about his breakup with Parvati (Amala Paul) and the reasons for their break up and subsequent patch up. In between we are served with break up of several other couples, some young, some about to get married and some in the middle-age of their lives.Rather than the story, it is the screenplay which makes all the difference for this film. The Director just makes the hero talk to the audience and present his case of understandings and misunderstandings. Through the journey of Arun, in which he touches the lives of Cathy and John, Parvati's parents (Suresh and Surekha Vani) and his own friend Vignesh, he makes us relate to our own stories and our own failures.Each and every moment of love-life relies on a thin balance and if that balance tilts, failure is just around the corner. Perhaps, there is no other relation in the world which is as brittle as a glass other than the relation of loving each other. Gaining the trust of the partner and maintaining that trust and understanding the emotional needs of the other is the basis on which the foundation of love rests. The more you experience Failure in Love, the more you learn about life and evolve as an individual. That is the essence and message of "Love Failure".Balaji Mohan gave such a wonderful treat with such guts, that one doesn't feel the need for any songs and there are none in the second half till the climax happens. That is the beauty of Love Failure, it is conventionally unconventional. A refreshing change in cinema, considering the recent films which ask you to leave your brains and heart at home. Balaji Mohan's debut is noteworthy as more can be expected of him in way of story telling techniques which would be new to Indian cinema.Siddharth has certain boyish quality about him which makes us believe him to be that college going boy. He has by now should have mastered the way of walking through these roles but Sid just manages to impresses us time and again with his dialogue delivery and confused expressions, thanks to the freshness in the screenplay and the scenes.Amala Paul is going to be the talked about girl after this film. Finally there is an actress who can act than just remain beautiful. Amala essayed the role of Parvati with such conviction that she may be rechristened as Parvati in real life. It was the most commendable performance by an actress in recent times on Telugu screen. She makes a good pair for Siddharth and she has some depth in her characterization with her family life in shambles with her parents going for a divorce. She brings out those subtle variations admirably which augur well for her future.The supporting cast of Suresh, Surekha Vani did well. One should say that Suresh really emoted well in some scenes which do not have a precedent (in my knowledge) in Southern cinema. The guys who have acted as friends for Siddharth did good job of evoking laughter through their acts.The technical departments are great with Nirav P Shah claiming credit for the cinematography whereas TS Suresh with his scissors. But was this really SS Thaman who gave music for the film? He sounded so different and it is refreshing to note that this music director has so much of variation. Thaman proved to all his critics that he can give refreshing musical score. His background score really manages the movie nicely. The onus now is on the directors of Tollywood to get the best of this guy.And finally, a word of appreciation to Siddharth as a producer and his production team. You did a great job of sticking to your judgment despite facing lots and lots of criticism and negative vibes which were spread in the market. You gave a great film, might be urbane but very identifiable to anyone and everyone. Whatever might be the box-office fate of the film, I shall just say 'thank you' for well spent 2 hours in the film and this thanks comes from me as a viewer than a reviewer.Check this review at www.cinemaya-bazaar.com

Tyler Durden I had no expectations and was not disappointed so i ll advice you the same. the first 10-15 mins of the movie are, i think the best part of the movie with nice direction and comedy. the creativity shown in that part of the movie is lost slowly as the movie continues. let me first point out the good things about the movie: 1. there are not many useless boring songs. 2. a little bit of comedy at times. 3. nice portrayal of family values. now the bad things(according to me): 1. amala paul reminded me of priyanka chopra in kaminey with same hair style and dressing style. and no other shades of her were shown. she is generally good looking but was not in the movie. 2. sidharth had no scope to show his talent. 3. story....... 4. boring at times especially in second half. 5. nothing new. 6. most of the times i was thinking hw this part could have been done better..... so on the whole its a not even time paas movie.....

rajteja2008 its a very good cool movie.the causal disturbances which arise between lovers & even wife and husband due to the problem of Ego and misunderstandings.life is nothing but adjustments and patching up with the one whom we love.songs are awesome and all the actors worked well.boys who want to love sum1 must see and should be ready to face the complex situations in the love life.all types of love and the reasons for the failure are all showed in a very perfect way.Happy to watch the movie....So love is a very important thing in any1's life.please do not break up for small small misunderstandings..girls love will be always ultimate boys have to adjust and understand them for having a very happy life...
