The title suggests a fairy tale love story and so do the posters/songs/trailers. It does not have a fairy tale happy ending but this movie is gonna remain one of my most favorites. I was accompanied to the movie by sister and fiancé. I was eagerly awaiting its release and was even ready to bunk Friday to watch the FIRST DAY FIRST SHOW :D But as I had forgotten to book tickets we had to settle for the 2^nd day first show.

The story wasn’t something new, same old love story, hero falling for the heroine, love at first sight, going crazy over her and making her like him. But the way the movie was picturized, the songs, the costumes and above all Simbu and Trisha were the pluses of the movie. The movie was really colorful and bright. I have always complained that Tamil movies lack that fresh and colorful look unlike Telugu/Hindi movies either because the heroes are too old or the movie is a village subject. But this movie beats them all. Everybody looks young and fit their role to a T be it Trisha’s dad or Kutty who plays Simbu’s dad. The story revolves around Simbu, Trisha and their families. The songs were too good to watch and hear. AR simply ROCKS!!! The choreography for the songs were new too. Looks like Gautam got a choreo from the US as the steps were a mix of hip-hop, jazz and freestyle moves nothing seen in any of the recent tamil movies. I wouldn’t delve much into the story as I would want people to go watch the movie. Many didn’t like the climax is what I hear but I was happy with it too. He has shown what happens in real life and not all love stories have a happy ending. Special appearance by Naga Chaitanya (he’s so damn cuteeeee) and a new girl Samantha. My sis and fiancé didn’t like the movie but I loved it. My dear fiancé who rarely talks during movies was all talks during this one. He kept commenting for most of the love scenes, squirming in his seat, impatient and asking me when the movie will get over… We were constantly chatting and missed few dialogues and I had to keep asking my sis for what I missed and when I was constantly disturbing her after a point she refused to tell me what I missed :(

Trisha looked ravishing in those beautiful cotton saris. I bet after seeing her in this new avatar, gals will go ga-ga over cotton saris now. I wouldn’t be surprised if sari shops come up with a new brand called Jessie saris for the gals :P It happens!!! Just like how we have Anarkali chudidhars, Jyothika saris, Jessie salwars and saris will be in market soon so watch out girls!!!!

Simbu was a delight to watch. I have never seen Simbu in such a matured role before. This should be a milestone in his career. I have never been an ardent fan of Simbu but somehow I never missed any of his movies be it Manmathan/Vallavan or Silambattam. But with this movie he just paved way to the top spot in my fav hero list. His dressing sense, his new dance moves, stubble look, and romantic overtures were all cute to watch. The first reaction he gives on seeing Jessie is way too good which is followed by Hosanna song.

Overall I had a nice time. And this movie is gonna make it to my DVD collection. It’s a must watch for everybody who has been in love/still in love.
