Although her ideas are practical, her behaviour is unreasonable - and Hansika has pulled this off, convincingly. On the other hand, Hansika is the right cast for the heroine's haughtiness. Containing his action hero instincts, Ravi still comes around as a manly charm. His emotions ranging from the strength in his soft romance to the subtlety in his revenge, are all titch. The three supporting actors, who influence the story a great deal, have done their equal best, optimising the space they have on screen.Īfter a long gap, we get to see Ravi here, once again, as a sincere romantic hero, head over heels in love with his angel. The prime characters in the story are played by Jeyam Ravi and Hansika, while VTV Ganesh, Poonam Bajwa and Vamsi Krishna play supportive roles. Well placed interval block and the colourful cinematography by Soundar, along with the taut screenplay, keep you glued to the seat. Over and above being practical, he takes the story along a comic outline, keeping you thoroughly entertained throughout. But Lakshman chooses an entirely different, practical and edgy outlook to the entire concept. Love story is usually associated with mushy romantic moments, duets sung running around a tree and walking along the coast, holding hands. So he makes his comeback in the most innovative manner. She takes this as her cue to break the relationship. Love succeeds, they get plan their wedding and that is when the realisation of Karthick's profession and pay package comes as a rude shock to Aishu. She follows Karthick and keeps an eye on him, while she prays to the almi on the other hand. Lakshman returns to the silver screen with another love story,but this time as director and here's how the saga unfolds.Īishwarya (Hansika) is smitten by the opulence that she sees in Karthick (Ravi) and decides to make him her better half.
#Romeo and juliet malayalam movie review movie#
Romeo gunning down Tybalt.) I still loved this movie and I’ve reccomended it to most of my friends who also loved it.A breakthrough for both Jeyam Ravi and Hansika, after their respective 'Nimirndhu Nil' and 'Aranmanai', in their forte this time, that is romcom, 'Romeo Juliet' is a thorough entertainer. It also had violence which wasn’t extremly gory but it was still violence (eg. It’s not like he was like that through the whole movie. It also has Mercucio dressed as a woman but, that was for the costume party. They were married at the time but hey, they still didn’t have to have it in there. I think this movie is not for young children because it does have a love scene between Romeo and Juliet. the way they had the brand name or the type of gun be “sword” or “dagger”) I admit some parts were a little dumb, but I think the director and the actors all did a wonderful job. I thought that it was very creative how they stayed with the original script and still made it a modern movie version of the play. I thought Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes did great playing Romeo and Juliet. While I appreciated very little of this excessive film, others I knew enjoyed it… why I cannot say. Is this truly a story of love, or of young lust? And why should suicide be elevated as it is in this tragic story (hopefully enough of us are familiar with this play to know the story and the ending!). When faced with this present day scenario to this age-old story, one’s perspective can be altered to see nothing more than two young teens believing that their love runs so deep they must be together forever. On the bright side, profanity is non-existent (a nice change from most Hollywood productions) and Romeo and Juliet are joined in matrimony by Friar Laurence before engaging in any passion beyond lip-locking. Filmed in Mexico City, the crucifix or the virgin Mary are pictured in nearly every shot throughout the film. Ironically, religion overshadows the entire film. While the words to this story are the very same as those penned by Shakespeare centuries ago, we are slapped into a pseudo present day culture complete with gun-toting youth, gang warfare, cross-dressing, violence, domestic abuse, sensuality, and an overall disregard for anything sacred. The setting takes us to the surrealistic/futuristic city of “Verona Beach,” a take-off of the initial setting of Verona. With an overabundance of up-close-and-personal shots and lighting-speed camera movements, this shallow in-your-face adaptation is unique, to say the least. If it’s true that every generation has its version of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet”, this one is certainly that of the MTV generation.
