SILLUNU ORU KAADHAL

Critics Review

3.00

Watchable, go for all the hype and hoopla surrounding it.

It is the music of A.R.Rahman that elevates the tempo and adds life to the movie. The songs are great, but they could have been picturized a little more aesthetically. Jyothika is in top form. Surya pitches in with yet another fantastic performance. Bhumika looks anemic and tries her level best to add life to her character. Editor Antony could have made the film crisper as it is too long and the film drags in the second half. (more)

This romance is listless.

The most talked about movie of the year, arrives only to disappoint. What it lacks is a strong cohesive script to bind the elements. The highlight of the film is the work of cameraman R.D.Rajesekar, who captures the lead pair in an enchanting way. Except the title song there is nothing great about the work of A.R.Rahman. Director Krishna, who sparkles in the dialogue, has neglected to take care of the screenplay, and hence the film fails to take off. (more)

In love with love.

Sillunu Oru Kaadhal not only showcases love and romance in cool and icy glamour, but also underlines the warm and sunny side of it. The script gives scope to understand love in its various shades and shines. It also presents the different meaning of life in different times of one's life. And then there is amazing music of A R Rehman that mounts the film on a fresh and fervent canvas. Both his songs and rerecording add dignity and delight to the movie. (more)
