Prabhu
Deva
started
his
directional
career
with
Telugu
romantic
movie
Nuvvostanante
Nenoddantana,
which
went
on
to
become
a
blockbuster
in
2005.
Though
he
was
showered
with
offers,
he
chose
to
direct
a
film
or
two
in
a
year.
He
opted
action
films
over
romantic
genre
films
and
succeeded.
Now,
he
is
back
to
love
oriented
movie
with
Engeyum
Kadhal.
The
choreographer-turned-director
roped
in
chocolate
hero
Jayam
Ravi
and
Chinna
Khushboo
Hansika
Motwani
for
the
breezy
entertainer.
Read
on
for
Engeyum
Kadhal
review.
Story:
Billionaire
Kamal
(Jayam
Ravi)
has
a
habit
of
taking
a
month
off
from
his
busy
work
schedule
to
relax
and
enjoy
the
life.
After
a
hectic
12
month,
he
decides
go
to
Paris.
He
wants
to
enjoy
every
minute
of
his
vacation
and
disconnects
his
mobile
to
avoid
disturbance.
On
the
other
hand,
Kayalvizhi
aka
Kayal
(Hansika
Motwani)
is
a
violinist,
who
is
settled
in
France.
In
their
very
first
encounter
itself,
she
saves
him
from
getting
killed.Unlike
every
film,
hero
will
not
fall
in
love
with
heroine.
It
is
just
the
opposite
of
it
in
Engeyum
Kadhal.
It
is
a
love
at
first
sight
for
her
and
she
expresses
the
same
to
him.
But
Kamal,
who
does
not
believe
in
love,
rejects
her
proposal
and
moves
to
India.
A
year
later,
they
catch
up
again
at
the
same
place.
The
rest
of
the
story
should
be
seen
on-screen.
Performance:
Jayam
Ravi
has
given
his
best
performance.
It
is
a
tailor-made
story
and
character
for
him.
Especially,
he
has
worked
on
his
expressions
and
reduced
his
weight
for
this
film,
which
are
clearly
visible
on
screen.
Hansika
Motwani,
who
is
referred
as
junior
Kushboo,
has
given
excellent
performance.
Her
chemistry
has
gelled
well
with
Ravi.
In
fact,
they
share
an
excellent
on-screen
chemistry.
Raju
Sundaram
gives
the
audience
comic
relief
through
his
dialogues.
Rest
other
characters
like
Suman,
Marion
Arnaud
have
done
justice
to
their
roles.
Technical:
When
it
comes
to
the
technical
team,
musician
Harris
Jayaraj
and
cinematographer
Nirav
Shah
steal
the
show.
The
music
director
has
given
one
of
the
best
tunes
for
this
film
and
he
also
rocks
with
his
background
score.
And
the
cameramen
has
wonderfully
captured
the
beautiful
locales
in
his
lens.
It
is
an
eye
feast.
They
are
the
behind
the
screen
heroes
of
Engeyum
Kadhal.
Rest
other
departments
have
given
their
best.
All
these
credits
should
go
to
Prabhu
Deva
for
making
such
a
jolly
and
a
cheerful
film.
He
has
taken
best
out
of
every
cast
and
crew
of
the
film.
Verdict:
In
the
nutshell,
though
the
movie
has
quite
a
few
loopholes,
it
is
avoidable,
as
Engeyum
Kadhal
is
a
complete
family
entertainer.
Especially,
young
couples
will
surely
like
this
film.
It
is
a
great
experience
to
watch
the
love
story
at
France
backdrop.
