Ye Maaya Chesave (2010)

Really Surprised!

Instant Favorite.

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Blistering performances.

Reconsider before watching this film.The cliché's were too much to take and I kept thinking to myself whether or not the character's had gone mad! Granted, some people say that if a movie affected you enough to make you write a review about it, then the directer has done his job. Nevertheless, I am wondering whether or not a romance constitutes of complete confusion, wish-washy promises, and a complete disregard of logic. If so, then this is the general theme of the entire movie with an ending that satisfies all. Not to mention the complete lack of complexity of the female protagonist. (Spoiler) She barely spoke, and when she did, it was either reproachingly or overly dramatic. Either way, she was semi-obedient to her parents until she finally stood up for herself. That annoyed me the most. A female has to mature before she comes to her senses? She may have been two years older, but she certainly did not act like it. Adults, I'm assuming, speak their minds. Why couldn't she when Karthik did? The male lead, Karthik, did that way before she did even though he cowered away from Jessie's family when they were arguing with his. In conclusion, it is a mind-boggling film and if you want to be confused, go ahead, and watch it.

I went 2 watch this movie for a first time ,as Nagchaitanya was new to the industry ..less expected from him. But once the narration started i went crazy after the entry of Samantha in the movie.As the movie goes on a feeling u get from it was amazing ,meanwhile i remembering my love story.Gautam Menon was amazing in direction department as we know he is too good in romantic love stories by the last romantic movie of Gautam menon's RHTDM.Last segment would be ...this could be the must watch movie for break-up couples ,as it would remind your great moments.

well to say...days after the movie released....still the memories preserved fresh of the flick "ye maya chesave".i myself bought the blu- ray....that grabbed a place among the few telugu flicks i have in my rack.the beauty lies in the narration of the story,which is scintillating and flamboyant. gautham handled the script in a sensible manner(may be his own personal depiction),and the dialogues are laudable.the costumes are catchy(spykar) that adds a light to the background scenes.this is to be lifted,the cinematography.manoj has done it all.it is the main reason for the beauty of the movie.music by arr is outstanding.all the songs in the album are awe(,after boys)chaitu has done a better performance than his previous flick josh. samantha the new comer stole the hearts.overall a perfect movie without the so called bang bang scenes,tear rolling sentiments,nasty items and head cracking dialogues.thanks to gautham for bringing this flick to us.

when i watched this movie, i kept thinking i so feel like i'm seeing an Indian version of '500 days of summer'. the quirky characters, contrasting personalities, great soundtrack, beautiful cinematography, witty dialogs are all too similar to the '500 days of summer' theme. so am i saying, is it bad? no. not at all. what i liked most about YMC is that it's not afraid of what it has to be. it doesn't have scene fillers, characters just for the sake of having it, songs, stupid dances, item songs that define the Indian ( Telugu) cinema.both the leads do their job well, keep you engrossed, but one thing i can find is, their acting seems to be pushed far by the director. sometimes, the acting looks too strained.and now the man himself, AR Rahman, i was interested in the movie, 'cos of him. what a kick ass soundtrack man, and the score, god, he just shows, why he's miles away from his contemporaries. i so love Shreya Ghoshal humming "aaromale" just after the interval.Gautham Menon, anybody who'd seen his previous movies would know he roots for urban settings, stylish dialogues involving a lot of English sometimes, and a lot of artificiality. you see them, you love them, but somehow you feel they're artificial when you walk out of cinema. that always happens with Mr.Menon. but that doesn't mean, he ain't talented. he definitely is. the attention to minute detail is very appreciable so are his shot angles and of course keeping the screenplay grounded to reality. it's not great film-making here, no surprise endings, a boy sees a girl, falls in love, proposes to her abruptly, only to find out she's confused all the time. he tortures her, as the lead says in one dialogue. he finally kisses and makes out with her in New York and they get married. end of story. one doubt? how does Karthik ( Naga Chaitanya) get Simbu and Trisha to sign a movie, without writing the climax? he even says to Jessie( Samantha Ruth Prabhu) that he's left with some 30 days of shooting... care to answer, Mr.Menon?
