I admire TK's previous works but I didn't quite like this as much as those. Definitely not bad but not what I was expecting from him. He had mentioned in his interviews that the romance genre is not his biggest strength and I have to agree.

I thought most of the conversations the couple had were boring (except a couple maybe) or unrealistic or was a montage with songs. And there were several shots of the couple just laughing and laughing. I understand on paper this was intended to imply that they had a great time together but it didn't translate as such on screen and was annoying at times. I didn't feel their love and couldn't empathize with the lead actress which I understand was the motive. I wish they had taken the effort to establish their/her relationship as much as they made the effort to show how hot and heavy their sex life was like.

Just because it had non linear story telling and was visually and aesthetically pleasing doesn't mean it's entertaining or admirable.

I fail to see what's modern here , or where the love is or even where's the relevance to chennai. I was born and I grew up in Chennai, so I don't see how it's unique to chennai except they speak thamizh.

I can never watch this a second time unlike Super Deluxe or Aaranya kaandam. Style but no substance.

Music was great though!
