TELUGU YE MAAYAM CHESAVE
EDITOR'S PICK
Rating:****
Nag Chaithanya`s second film Ye Maayam Chesave
created a lot of hype before its release because it had music by maestro A.R.
Rahman and the director was the well-known Gautham Menon.
But the film stands up to its hype and can be called a classic and pure love
story. The film breathes fresh air from the first sequence itself and gives
audiences a respite from the mindless fights and songs seen in a slew of recent
films.
Menon has really showed how a strong script can make a difference in the making
of a film. He has worked on minute details, adding much authenticity to the love
sequences.
The film has a simple romantic story of two youngsters that has been narrated
realistically. Menon has selected a perfect star cast and an experienced
technical team. The director has also been able to get the best out of both Nag
Chaithanya and newcomer Samantha.
As in any of his previous films, the camera work stands out. Menon has used very
good locations to present his story.
And coming to A.R. Rahman`s music, it would be difficult not to get carried away
by his superb compositions and background music. His soulful and melodious
compositions add lot of weight to the film. Rahman once again proves that he is
the unbeatable master of music.
Menon`s penchant for reality has seen the inclusion of many Malayalam dialogues
in the film, which may be a little irritating for the Telugu audiences. But
Menon`s script is so well written that these mminor things will be forgotten.
The love sequences are presented very aesthetically.
In the film, the protagonist Karthik has just passed his engineering course but
wants to become a film director. He meets a young christian girl Jesse, his
landlord`s daughter, and falls for her immediately. But Jesse hails from a
traditional christian family and she keeps away from Karthik`s overtures in the
beginning.
But Karthik follows her and even pleads with her to marry him. Later, they meet
again in Kerala and Jesse falls for him. But then the complications begin.
Nag Chaithanya has scored well in his second film. He is certainly good star
material. But Samantha is the real pick among artists. She is sensuous and
extremely talented. Her expressive eyes are her strong point.
Both Nag and Samantha share a good on-screen chemistry. Devan, Sanjay Swaroop
have effectively portrayed their roles. Well-known director Puri Jagannadh also
makes an appearance as filmmaker in the movie.
Thrisha and Tamil actor Simbu are seen in guest roles as well.
Ye Maayam Chesave is perfect for those who want to watch a good,
classic romantic film. It is sure to touch your hearts.
