Sillunu Oru Kaadhal

SOK is without a doubt one of the best movies ever made in the love genre. The movie offers a lot of different emotions and the acting is top notch. With that being said, Rahman sir's music is what that made this movie a cult-classic, including hits like "Munbe-vaa" and "Machakaari". The movie got released at a time, where only a few people in India had internet, no youtube what so ever, but still managed to gain hype thanks to real life pair, Surya sir an Jo mam's marriage. Even Bhoomika mam, who played the second heroin had such a big role, which is something that you rarely see nowadays. This movie for me is a 10/10.

I just watched this movie yesterday. And i have to add, I simply loved the show. The storyline is an easy one and the beauty of the movie is they didn't went on to add "masala" to the show unlike so many other Tamil movies. Kunthavi (Jothika) is married to Gautham (Surya). They have a real lovely daughter and she made the movie a joy to watch at so many scenes. Gautham Is he as simple as he seems to be? Well that and more are answered when Jothika accidentally comes across his diary. And from then on its all about the love and affection that a husband has on his wife and the faith and trust a wife has on her husband that moves the movie so damn well till the end. Aishwarya (Bhoomika) has certainly improved in so many aspects from her debut movie Badri. She plays her role well and in nice proportions. Music scored by ARR is such pleasant stuff for the ears. Munbe Vaa song is a treat to the eyes and to the heart. Overall its a movie where you can bring your whole family to watch with. Myself I dun mind catching it another time in the theaters again.

After the immensely successful Ghajini, expectations for Surya's movies have skyrocketed. His new movie, Sillunu Oru Kadhal is very different from Ghajini and Aaru, as it, like the title suggests, is a romantic film, with excellent chemistry between the characters, Jyothika and Bhoomika. Although it starts off like any other Indian love story, the movie really draws you in after the half-way mark, when the real 'twist' of the film is introduced.

The director has to be applauded on his fine job, bringing comic, actions and romantic elements together well, but his camera work does get a bit shabby at places. This is an infrequence though.

The two 'negatives' of the film are the fact that Vadivelu is somewhat underused in this. The other is that while Rahman's music is good, it is not up to his usual standard, and is certainly one of his worse films.

On the whole, however, a good, enjoyable film that should keep Surya's career blossoming.

sillunu oru kaadhal is just an awesome movie that has been well made, which gives a balance btw songs, jokes, action, affection and love.. don't totally go by the preview of the movie.. i found the movie review to be more inclined on the negative side.. in fact the entire movie looks very much practical.. Jyothika searching for Bhoomika and asking her to spend a day with her husband only portrays how much she loves and values her relationship with Surya.. At the same time, the pain and anxiousness to know what happened during that one day only justifies the storyline.. Kudos to débutant director Krishna for giving such a wonderful movie to the Tamil industry, for different angle of thinking and a very positive approach to the entire storyline! Great Work..

In recent times, it has become stereotypical to present movies with violence and gore in the tamil cinemas. But Jillunu oru kaadhal stood out and lived to the hype, at least according to the box office. Rather being a regular love story, the script of Jillunu oru kaadhal moves in a different path. Surya is married to Jyothika and lives happily with his daughter. He is a mechanic for a major car company in mumbai. All goes well before Jyothika finds Surya's personal diary which reveals an entirely different version of him - his college days. The story moves back and forth from there on and keeps the audience enthralled in almost all the aspects, whether it be music, comedy, romance, anger, fight etc., The performances of all the artists were exemplary. Surya's presence, Jyothika's curiosity, Bhoomika's innocence, Vadivelu/Sandhanam's ultimate comedy sequences, ARR's music - all stays in heart forever. A soft love story shown in the best form possible in the tamil industry. In a gist, this is a Jill (Cool) time pass!
