Romeo

Romeo - I watched this movie with some expectations but it failed to satisfy.

Not everyones cup of tea.

This movie talks about the relationship between husband and wife in forced marriage. Characters are not strong expect few.

This movie reminds me an Hindi movie called "Rabne Bana di Jodi" starring Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma. Some of the characters didn't do justice to their roles.

Not an impressive climax, below average songs, Humour not working, Vijay Antony some how needs to learn dance feels like 1 standard student dancing.

Redgiant movies released this movie so the reviewers praising this movie much.

This is what I felt while watching this movie and that why I written this review.

Conclusion: Movie could have been better. One time watch.

My rating: 5/10.

The man is such a 'nice' guy. He is in love with his newly-wed wife. She hates him and only marries him to escape her family situation. She doesn't know how much she's missing out by not loving him back. He loves her and is willing to do anything for her until she accepts him (because you know, he's 'nice'). She doesn't care. He indirectly starts giving her everything she wants. Will she ever come to realize that she is wrong to not have loved and accepted such a 'nice' man?

Yea, that pretty much sums up the movie. It's as if it was written for and by some pathetic, incel loser whose life philosophy boils down to how women would love them if only they knew how 'nice' they are. Sure, the movie is funny at times, but that's not even close enough to distract you from how obviously pathetic it is.

The movie presents a heartwarming and engaging romantic comedy that successfully combines humor and romance. The screenplay is well-crafted, with a perfect balance of comedic moments and emotional depth, keeping the audience thoroughly entertained from start to finish.

The casting choices are impeccable, with each actor delivering good performances. Background score should definitely be mentioned..and it was very pleasant to ears.. the leads faces are very pleasing and their performance are to the mark ...overall I would say it's a nice breeze like romcom to watch this summer ..hope Tamil directors make good romcoms like this.

The protagonist is portrayed as the quintessential "nice guy," a character archetype often romanticized yet critically flawed. He is profoundly in love with his newly-wedded wife, who remains emotionally detached and indifferent. Her decision to marry him is driven solely by a desire to escape an oppressive family situation, rendering her oblivious to the genuine affection and devotion he offers. Despite her cold demeanor, the protagonist remains undeterred, embodying the trope of the ever-patient and endlessly accommodating "nice guy."

The film painstakingly details the protagonist's attempts to win his wife's love, showcasing his willingness to cater to her every whim and desire. From lavish gifts to thoughtful gestures, he indirectly fulfills her wishes, operating under the naive belief that his persistence and kindness will eventually be rewarded with her affection. This relentless pursuit raises a central question: Will she ever come to realize her mistake in not loving and accepting such a "nice" man?

While the film tries to present a heartfelt narrative, it is fundamentally undermined by its troubling premise. The storyline appears to emanate from an antiquated and problematic mindset, one that perpetuates the notion that a woman's love can be earned through persistent kindness and material provision. This perspective aligns uncomfortably with the "incel" ideology, which posits that women owe affection to men who deem themselves deserving based on their perceived niceness.

The film sporadically delivers moments of humor, attempting to lighten the mood and distract from its core issues. However, these comedic interludes are insufficient to overshadow the film's fundamentally flawed narrative. The humor, though occasionally effective, cannot mask the underlying message that feels both outdated and pitiable.

Moreover, the character development is shallow and one-dimensional. The protagonist's unwavering devotion and the wife's unyielding indifference lack depth and complexity. Their interactions feel repetitive and predictable, further detracting from the film's emotional impact. The wife's character, in particular, is portrayed with a lack of nuance, reducing her to a mere object of desire rather than a fully realized individual with her own motivations and feelings.

The film's direction and cinematography, while competent, do little to elevate the material. The visuals are adequate, but they fail to bring any significant innovation or creativity to the storytelling. The soundtrack, too, is unremarkable, providing a serviceable but ultimately forgettable backdrop to the unfolding drama.

In conclusion, this is a film that struggles under the weight of its own misguided narrative. It attempts to tell a story of unrequited love and devotion but ultimately falls short by adhering to a problematic and outdated perspective. The moments of humor and competent technical execution cannot redeem the film from its core issues, leaving viewers more exasperated than entertained. It serves as a reminder that the "nice guy" trope, while often romanticized, is deeply flawed and reflective of a broader societal issue that needs to be critically examined rather than perpetuated.

I was misled by the poster; expected that this movie would be a comedic journey of husband and wife. But Romeo was a film within a film which is too filmy to be true.

The intentions of the crew and director is not wrong. They wanted to give a movie which empowers the relationship between a married couple the strength of positivity as good words. But they forgot that life is not just that and contains many more emotions, feelings and actions.

Yogi Babu and VTV Ganesh delivered their usuals. Mirnalini Ravi performed well. The songs were average. A good kuthu/rap song could have been fitted well. Would have been a great comeback of his mid-2000s like chartbuster songs.
