Kadhalil Sodhappuvadhu Yeppadi (2012)

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Disappointment for a huge fan!

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Kaadhalil Sodappuvadhu Eppadi, the short film that won the name and fame for director Balaji Mohan gets made into a full length feature film. A promising debut, Balaji Mohan!The film conveys that there is "no made for each other couple" that we come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly. the story , screenplay and presentation about boys, girls, love and heartache is worth a look. the chemistry between lead actors; cinematography and music are positive aspects of the film. A romantic comedy makes an appearance in Tamil cinema after a long gap.cheers for Balaji Mohan for a good debut venture...

This film deals with typical city-born youth love story. A romantic comedy film is based on a nine minute short film of the same name and it is directed by Balaji Mohan who made debut as a director in Tamil with Kadhalil Sodhappuvadhu Yeppadi 2012. It tells us the story of urban youth love that gets messed up for mere reasons. It was made in two languages simultaneously, in both Tamil and Telugu. The story opens with a lead role Arun (Siddharth) who is an engineering college student who shares his love experience to the audience. Arun and Parvathy (Amala Paul) who met in college and they have apparently fall in love. After sometime later they break up. A misunderstanding and ego conflict causes them to separate and go in different directions. Further the film reveals the consequences between them through the journey of funny narrative structure. And finally it reveals how they get back together. Direction, screenplay, performance, music score, and cinematography has been just an average effort. A débutant director Balaji Mohan has done a good job, his narration is a different treatment and quite innovative in this industry, but after sometime especially the second half of the film turns into a dragging screenplay and a narration struggle to maintain its own essence and also facing conflicts towards the encounter of the climax. So his different treatment becomes repetitious beyond a point. It will be better if he has been avoiding these repetitions on screen. Particularly the essence of nine minute short film is getting diluted by dragging it into a two hour feature. A great disappointment from Nirav Shah's cinematography, it's just an average effort. The lead cast Siddharth and Amala Paul both have done a good job but their performance is obvious on screen. Their charming performance is overtaken by the inexpert supporting cast who they have done a great job (especially Siddharth friends such as Vignesh (Vignesh) and Shiva (Arjun). The comical way of approach to characterization has made the film quite more interesting. And the character's personalities and their true nature are completely revealed in scenes. Only the supporting roles and their typical youngsters dialogue from the narrative, which has been the backbone of the success. Result: Kadhalil Sodhappuvadhu Yeppadi? Is a good romantic comedy / drama with emotional conflicts, love, ego, romance, funny moments, twists, sentiments, thoughts, friendship, etc. This film is quite an interesting to watch on screen, and it's worth watching.

It was the one movie that I had seen closest to the reality. Ever since I saw the short film "How to mess up in LOVE", I was surprised by the way the director etched up such a cute complete story in just 8-9 minutes. Even i was passionate about movies and always wanted to make one but it never happened. The film maker in me felt inspired seeing that short film and wished all my best luck for Balaji Mohan and I felt it actually worked when I heard his upcoming movie with Siddarth as Kadhalil Sodhappuvadhu Yeppadi in Tamil and LOVE Failure in Telugu. The direction of the movie, if its not what you call Awesome, I really have no idea what else to call it!! The performances are very natural from Siddarth, heroine and everyone else. The casting just looks perfect!! A perfect trend setting cinematic style with a novel screenplay is what I'd call it :)

This is really different film, whole story is narrated by Siddhartha which is new but still leads to boring. Film will give clear idea why love fails and how to compromise to make love success. Pro's: Siddhartha is looking good and action is nice as usual. Amala paul is good in few scenes and not in few scenes without make-up. Acting wise hero-in is not up to the mark, dubbing given to heroine voice is easily make it out.Con's: Boring Narration even though Siddhartha's voice is good. Whole movie is running behind love failure concept. Comedy is missing. Freshness in scenes is missing which we expect from Siddhartha's movie.
