Neethane En Ponvasandham - My POV

Cute. Cute is the first word that comes to my mind when I think about this movie. Varun and Nithya bring some really nice memories alive. This movie has got mixed reviews. May be people who could not empathize with the characters did not understand it.

Granted that there were too many Gautham Menon cliché's. Hero in an engineering college. Hero chasing the heroine to wherever she is. And the feet worshipping! And Menon must have a thing for guitars, singing and trains.

Samantha is cute as Nithya, Jeeva has come a long way from his Thithikudhe days. I love the romance in the movie. Everything from the apartment play area, the car and the terrace. These are some places to which people can relate themselves to. I love that they have a swing set to share. I love that they have a drawing to cherish. I love that Nithya feels happy when Varun offers to pay. I love that they enjoy their car rides. I love that they kiss. I love that Varun gets possessive and Nithya gets feisty. I love that they have a sentimental tea stall. Everybody has any one of these things in their life.

I got what I expected from the movie, something nice, something that you can relate to. May be the climax is the only place I cannot empathize with. To think of it, looks like Menon did have one of those cool dads. I wanted to watch this movie with a critique's eye. But I got carried away. I guess Menon wins here, but then it's still just me. :)
