If there are two things which are universal, they are love and music. Understanding this fully well, Prabhudeva has come out with a romantic-musical entertainer, and that is Engeyum Kadhal to you.
To put it in a nutshell, Engeyum Kadhal is the story of an Indian pair in France. Jayam Ravi as Kamal and Hansika Motwani as Lolita share a very good on-screen chemistry, which is visible from scene one till climax.
And the film is incomplete without Harris Jayaraj’s music. For the music composer has gifted Prabhudeva a collage of colourful songs, which are shot in a beautiful and interesting way, proving Prabhudeva skills as a choreographer and director as well.
Kamal (Jayam Ravi), a busy biz man wants a break from his hectic schedule and plans to go France . he wants to spend peacefully his off that he doesn’t even cary his mobile phone.Meanwhile coming to know that a plan has been hatched to bump him off from her detective father (Suman), Kayal (Hanshika Motwani) sets off to Paris. Kamal spends is time happily with his frineds ( thayt includes Raju Sundaram).
As it happens, its romance between Kayal and Kamal. The rest is all but candy-floss romance between them and whether she helps Kamal come out of all problems.
What best name than Kamal the protagonist of a love story could have? And Jayam Ravi brings no disrepute to the name, for he brings out his best scene after scene. Its refreshing to see Jayam Ravi running around romancing. He nrings flavour and flair to the role.
Hansika Motwani is refreshing and is the next big thing in Tamil cinema, if her script-selection is right. Suman is asusal tailor-made for the role.
Karthik begins well in this song but it is hard not to think of Harris’ earlier compositions. With synthesised voices, the lyrics seem to drown under the music a bit. There is nothing special about this romantic number other than Thamarai’s catchy lyrics. Steel drums and sounds of saxophone add value towards the end but the song is only an addition to the album. A regular Harris’ number!
Quite like songs, cinematography and editing too spell a magic in Engeyum Kadhal. The minus point however is the lack of nativity and you have to blame the script for that. Otherwise, the director in Prabhudeva emerges triumphant in Engeyum Kadhal.
