Unnale Unnale - Review
Cast: Vinay, Tanisha, Sada, Raju Sundaram
Direction: Jeeva
Music: Harris Jayaraj
Production: Oscar V. Ravichandran
Dealing with love - as a theme of his movies - seems to be ‘a labor of love’ for director Jeeva. His earlier movies dealt with the same subject and Jeeva is back again with his appositely titled love story ‘Unnale Unnale’ (rechristened from July Katre).
What do a bunch of breezy star cast combined with refreshing music and an awe-inspiring cinematography mean? A feel-good romantic flick, of course. And Jeeva has proved that dealing with romantic subjects is a cake walk for him, yet again. The package has everything to woo the urban audience, principally those in love. In loveVinay is blissfully smitten in love with Sadha, who demands all of his attention. With his lady killer looks, Vinay finds it easy to grab attention from damsels around. However, Sadha has troubles in managing this situation and her ‘all's not fair in love and war’ attitude spells trouble in their love life.
Vinay’s flirtatious self gets the most out of him forcing him to lie to Sadha to let his hair down with his other girl friends as well.Sadha takes offense of the situation and feels that she is being cheated upon. Rather than talking terms with Vinay, she takes the flight to Australia to start a new life. Call it fate or the director’s intention, Vinay sets off to Australia too on an official trip. He meets the pretty Tanisha on his plane, who befriends him during the flight. Australia hosts a whole lot of surprises for Vinay, prominent one being Tanisha turning out to be Sadha’s friend. The movie enters into another interesting twist when Tanisha finds her love for Vinay, who is already rejoicing the ‘return of his love’. So, who is it now that will walk down the aisle with Vinay? The climax tells it all.
In a world dominated with the rugged looks of Vijays, Ajiths, Suryas, and Vishals it is no wonder Jeeva felt the necessity to discover an urban, trendy, and marshmallowy hero for the rest of the girls who do not (read want to) belong to the league. He is cool, stylish, and there is an added advantage. He can act. Well, almost. We predict that the teenagers will have a hard time getting him out of their heads.
Sadha is back this time, only to emphasize that she is an out-and-out good girl – as she always was in her other movies as well. Posing a typical overprotective lover, she scores in scenes while expressing her inability to read Vinay’s flirtatious nature. Besides, her expressions when she was in a dilemma over her renewed relationship with Vinay are simply adorable. We wonder why Sadha is just an infrequent visitor to Tamil screens, especially with her talents and looks.
Tanisha has a cute smile complemented with sharp features and a great body. Though it appears in the later half of the movie, her role leads the movie to an interesting climax.
