Gautham
Menon
is
known
for
bringing
out
excellent
love
subjects
on
the
silver
screen.
Almost
every
artiste
likes
to
work
with
this
award-winning
director
and
Naga
Chaitanya
got
one
such
opportunity
in
the
early
days
of
his
career.
Moreover,
the
film
Ye
Maaya
Chesave
has
yet
another
speciality
in
the
form
of
music
director.
Oscar
award
winner
AR
Rahman
scored
music
for
the
movie.
One
more
interesting
point
behind
the
movie
is
the
banner
—
Indira
Productions
and
the
film
has
been
presented
by
none
other
than
Super
Star
Krishna.
All
these
points
raised
the
expectations
on
the
film
further.
Karthik
(Naga
Chaitanya)
is
a
drop
out
of
engineering
studies.
His
father
admits
him
in
the
engineering
college,
but
Karthik
expresses
his
wish
to
become
a
filmmaker.
His
friend
Krishna
(Krishnudu)
takes
him
to
director
Vinayak
(VV
Vinayak)
and
pleads
with
him
to
take
him
as
his
assistant.
Meanwhile,
Karthik
accidentally
meets
his
landlord"s
daughter
Jessey
(Samanta)
and
loses
his
heart
at
the
first
sight.
Despite
being
elder,
Karthik
expresses
his
wish
to
love
her
and
reveals
it
straight
to
her.
Her
father
Joseph
(Devan)
would
not
accept
to
marry
a
Hindu
and
he
is
also
against
love
marriages.
Whether
he
will
get
his
lady
love
and
whether
he
will
become
a
filmmaker
should
be
watched
on
scree.
PLUS:
The
excellent
screenplay
and
directorial
capability
of
Gautham
Menon
is
clearly
visible
on
the
screen.
The
film
Ye
Maaya
Chesave
has
no
great
commercial
elements,
no
big
action
scenes,
exposing
heroines,
item
numbers,
nor
double-meaning
dialogues.
The
film
was
so
neat
and
clean
that
the
audiences
would
feel
immersed
in
the
film,
especially
in
the
second
half.
The
film
Ye
Maaya
Chesave
is
like
something
happened
in
the
real
life
and
the
dialogues
are
very
simple
and
very
near
to
nativity.
Gautham
Menon
has
proved
that
if
a
director
really
wants
to
portray
a
love
story
on
the
screen,
he
does
not
need
to
go
for
hi-fi
scenes
and
can
be
moulded
it
very
simple
way.
No
doubt,
it
is
a
director"s
movie.
Naga
Chantanya"s
characterisation
was
very
suave
and
natural.
He
has
also
improved
a
lot
from
the
first
film
and
the
dialogues
are
one
liners
and
simple.
Heroine
Samanta
is
great
in
looks
and
she
is
so
talented
when
it
comes
to
performance.
Gautham
Menon
should
be
complimented
for
introducing
a
good
heroine
to
the
Telugu
film
industry.
Music
by
AR
Rahman
is
another
asset
for
the
film.
Though
the
songs
are
not
so
impressive
while
listening,
they
are
very
impressive
while
watching
them
on
screen
and
after
watching
the
film,
the
audiences
really
feel
how
good
tunes
they
are.
The
re-recording
is
furthermore
impressive
and
elevated
many
scenes
in
the
movie.
Camera
work
by
Manoj
Paramahamsa
is
also
impressive
and
he
captured
the
beauty
of
Kerala
as
well
as
in
the
foreign
locales
with
his
camera
eye
well.
Other
artistes
including
Sanjay
Swaroop,
Devan
and
Surekha
Vani
have
done
justice
to
their
roles.
MINUS:
The
film
could
be
enjoyed
by
a
certain
set
of
audiences.
The
slow
and
silent
narration,
absence
of
mass
elements,
high-voltage
action
scenes
and
thread
works
in
fights
and
the
subdued
characterisation
of
the
hero,
may
not
be
liked
by
the
mass
audiences.
However,
for
those
who
go
to
watch
a
silent
and
good
movie,
the
film
would
be
quite
interesting.
The
director
has
ignored
to
explain,
why
the
hero
neglects
his
craze
towards
films,
for
which
he
even
left
his
studies
and
move
around
the
heroine
in
the
name
of
love.
Of
course,
he
realises
the
mistake
and
shows
that
the
hero
concentrates
on
his
career
in
the
second
half.
The
characterisation
of
hero"s
parents
is
not
so
impressive.
Krishnudu
has
done
a
lengthy
role
and
gave
comic
relief
to
some
extent.
REMARKS:
The
first
half
of
the
film
is
very
slow
and
almost
all
the
audiences
felt
bored.
However,
the
film
picked
up
the
pace
in
the
second
half
and
by
the
time
it
reaches
the
climax,
the
audiences
are
seen
looking
at
others
faces
as
if
the
film
has
come
to
an
abrupt
ending.
Basically,
the
film
is
the
best
watch
for
those
who
look
at
it
with
heart.
It
is
a
heartful
film.
However,
the
grade
of
romance
is
a
little
higher
in
the
film.
The
film
sends
wrong
signals
that
when
a
boy
and
girl
are
in
love,
they
are
free
to
touch
each
other
and
even
kiss
each
other.
But
for
such
romantic
scenes,
the
film
is
worth
watching
by
the
entire
family.
