Remo

Remo (2016): We have seen notable films like Chachi 420,Madam etc.. where our lead hero disguises as a lady to solve his problems or love issues.Remo also comes under the same line where Shiva Karthikeyan played a role named Regina Motwani,shortened as Remo,a nurse to woo heroine and to get a chance in a movie.

Plot: Shivakarthikeyan plays SK an aspiring actor, who dreams of becoming a big star one day. He has his two drinking buddies played by Sathish and Rajendran, who also sit around and do nothing.Life is meaningless until Cupid strikes with one glance at the lovely Keerthy Suresh, who plays Kavya, a doctor in the film.Unfortunately for SK, the day he plans to profess his undying love for her turns out to be the day she gets engaged to a well-settled good looking doctor arranged by her parents.She has no clue to even his existence or his one-sided love for her. Though dejected SK decides to get on with his life. A movie audition requires him to dress like a woman and incidentally on this very day he gets to meet Kavya again. SK is dressed up as a female nurse and Kavya very generously offers him a job at the hospital she works in.Thus begins his charade as a pretty woman, who becomes Kavya's friend and confidante.The rest of the film is all about whether he can influence Kavya to fall in love with him.

Plus Points:

1)Music: Anirudh gave chart buster songs to Remo.Especially Senjithaley is my favorite number with awesome music.BGM is also good.

2)Performances: Sivakarthikeyan is a born entertainer understanding the pulse of commercial audience.He is brilliant in his comic timing and dances.His performance as Remo is decent.Surprisingly,Keerth Suresh has given decent performance.Others did their part well.

3)Comedy: Though the movie has silly comedy,its still gives us a smile.Few comedy scenes are hilarious.

Minus Points:

1)Silly Story and Screenplay: Remo has a silly plot with screenplay meanders endlessly to provide some laughs, plenty of sentiments, over-the-top action.Few scenes are illogical and outright silly.

So,Remo is a one time watch with few hilarious scenes and brilliant music but nothing new to offer.

My rating 6/10

This is a good entertainer if u are not keeping any big expectations. Don't keep or think of any logic, just watch it and you will love it.A good romantic comedy entertainer.

This movie garnered so much expectations, especially after its first look and trailer got released. This is such a great leap for a young actor like Sivakarthikeyan. First of all, kudos for his efforts. Everything came out well.

This one is a commercial entertainer which didn't fail to entertain. So to speak.

The whole movie basks on the lead character - Siva Karthikeyan - who, I should say, did a fantastic job. It takes some guts to portray such a female role and he did it in a very sensible manner. He was well supported by camera work of PC sir. Keerthy suresh and sathish did a commendable job in portraying their respective roles.

Pros - Siva, Screenplay (to some extent), BGM

Cons - Too much casting, not enough sub plots for each character.

Overall, its worth the watch. Just go and enjoy the performance of Siva. He is surely on a roll.

Keerthy suresh oh my God how beautiful she is . Pretty awesome lovely cute my baby Keerthy Suresh. I love her. Her bright eyes cheeks cute smile long blonde ring hair her voice all fill my heart with love. My eyes lighten up when I see keerthy suresh. I am big die hard fan of keerthy suresh. I want to marry her but iam 10 years smaller than keerthy. The most under rated movie.. Dedicated & Matured acting by SK & KS...They both really deserve an award for this movie.. Superb combo & Chemistry between them. Music was extraordinary & electrifying. Anirudh as usual at his best.. Big thanks to the Director for such an out and out Family entertainer.

Remo,a film that was released with huge expectations despite the guessable story from the trailer. The audience knew what to expect from it and did not want to be disappointed. On the lines of Kamal Haasan's great,Avvai Shanmugi,comes another gender transformation by young comic actor Sivakarthikeyan. Despite not reaching the level that Kamal set 20 years back,this is definitely the second best when it comes in that genre. Siva completely transformed himself into the female character that whenever he showed up,we could feel a sense of absence of Siva's character which is a huge development from an actor who has not even completed 10 films in his career. Siva has made one of the best decision's of his career acting in this film and it was surprisingly flawless. Hats off to him just because of his undivided dedication shown towards a character in a film. The second person to this film's success is legendary cinematographer, P.C Sreeram. His camera handling techniques have long contributed to Indian cinema's success over the last 30 years till today. P.C Sreeram accepting this film was a shocker to the Tamil cinema industry and subsequently increased the chance of this being a good and high quality film. His cinematography made a medium budget film look really high budgeted and the camera angles during the action sequences were totally mind blowing. The third person who deserves all praises is music director Anirudh. His combination with Siva in previous movies like Maan Karate and Kaaki Sattai was really on par with Siva's style and mannerism and the same applied in this film. The theme music was a peppy dance number and the songs were good. The background score was good although it could have been better in certain places. The dance choreography following the songs were mostly well executed but should have been better in many places because the pace of the song does not match the pace of the dancers on screen. The sound editing of this film was done by Academy Award winner Resul Pookuty and it was absolutely amazing. The minute and distance sounds were caught in the film with near perfection. The voice modulation of the female character of Siva was well executed due to the brilliant sound editing. The art director also deserves full applauds for making the beautiful sets to make this film colorful and beautiful. Despite the huge positives, the drawback in this film is its core itself,the story line. The story of this film is a straight line that will not bend at any cost. Therefore, the story of the film is predictable leaving the audience to guess it quite well. The second drawback is the non linear screenplay of the film which takes out the icing on the cake of the linear story. To top it, the editing was quite sloppy at places which left the movie a bit draggy at the end. The supporting casts in this film did an excellent job contributing to the comical element in this film in a positive manner. Keerthy Suresh has shown her best performance in this film and played a role equal to Siva's character in the film. The supporting comedians who were Satish,Motta Rajendran and Yogi Babu did excellent jobs as their comic timings and dialogue counters were absolutely seamless and made the audience jump out of their seats in laughter. Finally,we have to praise debut director Bakyaraj Kannan for his outstanding dedication in making this type of a film in his very first attempt. Despite having signs of amateurish scenes in certain portions in the film,nothing can take away his effort of delivering a film that would satisfy all sets of audience and make it a success story,hats off.I would conclude that Remo is not the best film for a newcomer,but it is certainly one of the best comedy films that was released in 2016 and will certainly be remembered by many in the film industry for a long time to come,especially Sivakarthikeyan.
