    EPIC, Nostalgic

    Rewatched it after 22 years and it gave a nostalgic feel as 2000 was the time when I started watching movies seriously, in theatres.

    It still triggers laughter, emotion, love, sentiments, comedy/fun/joy. Jyothika's overacting is still watchable.

    Deva's jingles kinda BGM with various musical instruments is the biggest plus to the film.

    One of the epic and best by the director.

    This time noticed that each & every frame in this film is pure of the director's magic.

    It has a cliche story/plot but the way it was made is something unique and could feel the director's touch in every frame, that's what makes us watch this epic again.

    Superb film

    Kushi is a 2000 Tamil romantic comedy film directed by S. J. Surya and produced by A. M. Rathnam. The film featured Vijay and Jyothika in the leading roles, while Mumtaj, Vivek and Vijayakumar play other supporting roles. Its a good film to see.. Good acting by Vijay and Joe. Direction is done by s j Suryah. Very sensible film. Actually i saw the film in television and it could be seen many times. Vijay is matured nowadays. The story begins when Jenny (Jyothika) and Shiva (Vijay) are born in different states of India they meet as babies, when their parents left they were pulled apart. They are in their childhood and both want to represent their home town in a camp they are next to each other but don't speak or see each other. Ten years later, Jenny wants to pursue higher studies but her father wants her to get married. At first she gets angry at him but decides to marry according to her father's wishes. On the night of the wedding her groom elopes with his lover. Seeing Jenny depressed and disappointed, her father lets her study further. Shiva lives in a big city and is accepted to a college in Canada.

    Super movie in Thalapathy Vijay Semma love movie

    A Soulful Movie

    This movie is one of the the very few romcoms that have truly touched my heart and if I look back at my other favourites they mostly are Siva Nirvana's. The amazing director has fulfilled the expectations of his admirers with such an amazing cast. Hoping he would bring more movies like this on to the big screen and would love to see the same cast in the upcoming movies. Siva Nirvana's direction, Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Vijay Devarakonda's acting and the music ( sorry, I can't remember the music directors name no offense ) are the perfect combo and would love to see them together again.

    *Edit: the music directors name is Hesham Abdul Wahab.
