Ye Maaya Chesave

If I have to say just one word to describe "Ye Maaya Chesave", I would say - Classic!

The feeling I get when I watch it now is no different from what I got when I watched it for the first time 6 years back, when the movie released.

The soul of the film is the background music and the songs by A.R.Rahman. Right from the beginning titles to the end credits, we will experience out-of-the-world music. Music alone takes this movie to a whole new level. Take a moment to appreciate A.R.Rahman's talent, because I'm afraid India wouldn't see such a great artist ever again.

Beautiful cinematography by Manoj Paramahamsa, Samantha and Naga Chaitanya's brilliant performances, simple yet haunting dialogs, the depth in Jessie and Karthik's characters, sensible story & screenplay and top-notch direction - each element complements every other element so perfectly, making this an experience rather than just a film.

This movie holds a special place in my heart, just because of the fact that I can relate to many scenes and how it effortlessly transports me to my first-love days every time I watch it. I'm really grateful to all the people involved in making this movie.

There are two versions of this film. Telugu (Ye Maaya Chesave) and Tamil (Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya) versions, which are same except for the ending. The ending drastically changes our view towards the film. I personally like the Tamil ending as it's close to reality. I believe that's what makes our first love special (you'll know when you watch the movie). Having said that, I loved watching both versions.

If you are watching the Telugu version, just make sure to watch the climax of the Tamil version as well.

This movie does surprise you with its simplicity, breathtaking music, excellent chemistry between the lead pair, beautiful scenes and melodious songs. The romantic moments that are captured are just perfect! I am sure the audience will relate with the emotions of the lead pair.

Naga Chaitanya and Samantha are simply amazing. They carry their roles perfectly.

Direction and screenplay is top notch. All in all a classic for all those die-hard romantics!!!!!!!!!

It's a beautiful movie. Most of the love stories go through the situations pictured in the movie, though the ending in Telugu is predictable. But it doesn't matter as most of the film revolves around the two principled characters describing their journey.

Many of the situations in the movie stand out. The whole sequence of samantha asking chaitanya to take her to a movie and then finally as they return back home, their small dispute is very engrossing.

Even the dialogues are so simple, there is no loud music, bang-bang going on and finally samantha is mesmerizing. She allures you and even her acting for a first timer is brilliant. The scene where she asks chaitanya about why he is so crazy about her is terrific; her expressions, body movement and the way she speaks is superb. Also to be lauded is the person who dubbed the dialogues to samantha.

Kudos to chaitanya also for underplaying so wonderfully and trying to venture into subtle kind of cinema.

It's an out and out Samantha Ruth Prabhu movie. She is next level amazing. I'm a sucker for love stories / mushy stuff and this is pretty much in my top ten.

Ye Maya Chesave...It's about the love and only love,,,, i never seen a movie like this on telugu screen... I would like to appreciate Mr Gautham Vasudev Menon for his brave attempt...it is a movie of excellency...

It is the story about two people and their feelings (excitements,conversations,fighting's & pain ) in love... the characters in this movie are so realistic and romantic... dialogues are very nice & simple, just like how we would talk to anyone in real life...Music by AR Rahman is excellent... songs are picturised well and placed nicely in the movie...
