Ethir Neechal Story

Ethir Neechal is an romance comedy movie Directed by Vetrimaaran's former assistant Senthi features Sivakarthikeyan and Priya Anand in the lead roles. Dhanush and Nayanthara has done guest role in this movie. The film does not boost of a star cast except the 'Kolaveri di..' singer and Nayantara appearing in a special song. The movie stars Sivakarthikeyan and Priya Anand in the leads. After going through a couple of scripts including a few sent by Dhanush's online followers, the actor locked in the script written by RS Durai Senthilkumar. With writer himself taking the mantle of direction department, the hunt for the lead stars begun. The team headed by Dhanush roped in Sivakarthikeyan and Priya Anand, who are familiar faces in Tamil films, instead roping newbies to star in the movie. The film was kicked-off on July 23 in Chennai and has been wrapped up in a quick succession. Ethir Neechal has a modern-day story sans cheap comedy, vulgar dialogues or inappropriate scenes. Nayantara and Dhanush's special number 'Sathiyama ni enakku...' is one of the main attractions of Ethir Neechal. According to the director, it is a soup number, just like 'Kolaveri di...'. It is kind of a love failure song.

Ethir Neechal Critics Review

filmibeat.com

Ethir Neechal is one of those films where the first and second halves are vaguely connected. The film oscillates between a cliched romantic-comedy and a sports movie at regular intervals only to appear like an inspired version of Simon Pegg's Run, Fatboy, Run. The first half of the story revolves around college going Sivakarthikeyan, who is always ridiculed by his friends for his funny sounding name.

Tired of always being mocked at, he decides to choose a different moniker with the hope that things would be better. Guess what, life does take an unexpected turn for our hero. People start treating him with respect and he even finds himself a girlfriend. However, what follows is a completely different second half, which explains why our hero out of the blue decides to run a marathon.

By the end of the film, you ask yourself what was the connection between the first and the second half? The film starts off like every other romantic-comedy with adequate amount of comedy and drama, but there's hardly anything spectacular to rave about, including the story. At some junctures it seems to be inspired by the Simon Pegg film, especially in the second half. The English movie was about a guy, who once jilted his fiancée, decides to run a marathon to win her back.

Here, we see a guy running a marathon to prove something that he couldn't all his life. Most sports films have a tendency to glorify our hero to the heights of a champion even before winning, and that's precisely what you see in the film. To add to the woes, we have a bad guy even in the sports arena.

Why is that we always have to make two characters to pit against each other to find out who is stronger? By making these characters compete, in a way we make the audience root for the hero.

Siva played his part effortlessly and proved once again that he is not only fit to play comedy roles. While focusing too much on our male protagonist, the film doesn't use its two female leads - Priya Anand and Nandita effectively.

The song featuring Dhanush and Nayantara doesn't quite make any difference because we all know why it was made at the first place.

Anirudh's music is not exceptional, but it definitely gives few reasons to enjoy the film better. Kishore's editing could have definitely been crisper as we find places where the film struggles to move forward.

Verdict: Ethir Neechal not out of the box, yet entertaining.
