This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Lakshman has packaged the film in a glossy manner but it is unable to find any spark or chemistry between the lead pair. His direction is amateurish and so are the characters half-baked. The best thing about Romeo Juliet is Jayam Ravi and Hansika who does their best to rise above the flawed script.Lakshman's Romeo Juliet is just a rehash of old clichés. He pitches love against money and there are no prizes for guessing which one wins the film. An average entertainer, would have been more engaging if only the screenplay had been coherent and the episodes interesting.A one time watchable if you love illogical movie stuff.

A complete cliché. I knew there would be an ending like this... however, was expecting a different ending... If Jeyam had walked away with the other girl, allowing Hansika to realise, THEN the Director would have given a meaning to true love.Every now and then, a different ending, a lesson well learnt is necessary. True that Jeyam stands for true love, and you have expressed that in the movie well. BUT, what the world needs to know is the other side of the story. Which is that 1) We can still continue life and find true love for the second time - because there are more well deserving people out there. 2) Consequence for our actions is necessary if we are to see a better world filled with love. 3) Forgiveness is necessary too, but sometimes, forgiveness means that we move on, and not necessarily to start back together. 4) Love means responsibility. Love is not blind and thoughtless actions. Love is premeditated and determined labour. 5) What if the guy had left her, and then returned in repentance?The right kind of Love should be taught to the next generation. And movie directors should take on greater responsibility and not just show clichés for money.This is my sole opinion...

A typical rom-com, well what should be my expectations? we all know its gonna sway happy side and is not gonna have any mystery to solve, so the bar is already very low, the only expectation was good performances from the lead actors. And that is, missing.The movie is the pinnacle of clichés, do you remember the TV serials, even if you don't watch it for a year and watch it again, you can still understand what the story is in a couple of minutes. This will give you the exact experience, nothing in this movie is awe-inspiring. I thought Jeyam Ravi could not get any worse after watching Thillalangadi, but he proves he can get a lot worse like this movie. Am truly surprised with this actor, he gives some stunning performances in the past and fades away. Even Nimindhu Nil was a not a blockbuster, but i really liked his realistic acting, he has got skill but he has just taken a oath to screw it more and more with every dumb movie like this I don't even want to talk about Hansika Motwani, she desperately tries to a bitch in the first half and ends up being a laughing stock. The same duo did a movie Engeyum Kadal, again it was a typical rom-com but it was much better movie only because of their acting, why does the director not understand this fact? If you think about the story it has got substance, a wannabe rich girl and a honest lover boy, its definitely not a bad ploy and i have seen worse, but no where in the movie the actors realise their character and makes a complete parody of it with their acting.If a actor swears in the movie and you end up laughing, that by itself tells you where the movie is headed. Utter disbelief, the movie is way too long.. Again lets look at Engeyum Kadhal, the movie had very limited scope to entertain and the director knew it, the movie was just over 2 hours and if we take away 5 beautiful songs, it would just be an hour and half, which is totally acceptable. Here, the intro where we see 10 minutes of dub smash from various movies, which was no way related to the movie, that right there says the director has no confidence. The movie tries to be clever with the narration but as a thumb rule, narration should only used when you are backtracking events, not when you are going with the movie as it goes. Doesn't solve the purpose, it is like announcing in you marriage with a megaphone to all your relatives that you are getting married. Duh, they know it and that's why they are there.A mediocre script made worse by pathetic screenplay and lackluster performances from two actors who have given some good movies in the past. A rom-com with awful songs is never gonna be remembered and this movie will be forgotten even before the end credits.

Debutant director Lakshman comes with a romantic comedy which is a mix of emotional melodrama and comedy. The title says "Romeo Juliet" so if you are in for a conventional Shakespeare drama refurbished to modern days sorry the answer is a complete 'No'. Here the director has essayed his version of the modern day working youth of metro cities and their expectations when it comes to love and married life. Plot: Strongly nothing new. We have already seen the movie "Devathaiyai Kanden" which was an average grosser with Dhanush and Sridevi in the lead. So the base plot is exactly same. The director tries to link the entire characterization of the leads to today's working class lovers but I would strongly say he forgot all the reality towards the climax and made a cinematic ending (Probably he would have been scared about the results in the box office to have a tragedy climax scene) Screen play was quite engaging throughout. Cast: Jayam Ravi and Hansika takes over the role of Karthick a celebrity gym trainer and Aiswarya the air hostess. Both the leads did a fair justification to their roles. There are quite a few supporting actors we see on the screen. Hansika has tried to act and was beautiful throughout the movie. But this girl is always showing up in full make up naturally she is fair complexion so she should know she doesn't need much. The friend's bunch of Hansika was a good selection particularly the girl named Tina was noticeable. VTV Ganesh as VTV Ganesh was there in the same role he used portray in all the movies. Vamsi Krishna and Poonam Bajwa in extend cameos guess what they are the lead pairs short lived groom and lover.Technical: Music by D Imman was OK. The already hit no Dhandanaka song could have been shot with a better bang which the song deserves. Two and a half hour movie seems little dragging towards the end otherwise editing wise good show. Though could have avoided certain song sequences. Verdict:New trend Romeo Juliet won't disappoint you totally so a once watch Rom-Com suited to current youth crowd. My rating would be 2.75/5. (If the climax was not a cliché it would have fetched good ratings) -Reviewed by Sivakumar Balachandran
