My Movie – Ye Maya Chesave

Before I start, I just want to make it clear that this movie is not for everyone. This is neither for those who want to have fun in a theater nor for those who are expecting an entertaining love story and not even for those who are expecting a classic like Geethanjali.

I don't know why the comparisons with Geethanjali are being made. Both are ages apart. Yes both are different movies for their eras but Geethanjali was an emotional movie that moves you while YMC is a stunningly feel good movie that brings together all the sweet nothings, altercations, simple conversations and conflicts between companions who want to live together forever. A boy proposes and he sticks to his stand while girl loves him but is confused to decide.

All YMC has is conversations. It might not even be an exaggeration to say that this movie had more dialog than two movies combined. And to top it , all the dialogs are simple and very very effective. Gautham Menon's brilliance is depicted to the full extent in the movie. He made the right choice by taking Rahman for the first time for this movie.

Naga Chaitanya just like his first movie does not disappoint except for his dances. But in this movie he got more meatier role as in he is the one who occupies 99.9999% of the footage. He proved that he is a great actor who can emote well like in Josh college speech and also show subtle expressions like in this movie. His role is so simple, a boy next door and a lover who can do anything for his love interest. He is a treat to watch and you can only experience it. You only see Karthik and not Chaitu.

Samantha is brilliant. She is gorgeous, talented and hot as love interest of Chaitu. She looks like that dream of any 22 year old which would make you do anything for her. I don't think any director will ever be able to show her that beautiful again. Sameera of Surya S/O Krishnan was just the trailer. Gautham's taking and Rahman's music made her look like a poetry. Her role was of a girl next door again but a confused one just like any girl torn between parents and love. There might not be reasons for her behavior sometimes but it just depicts her frustration over that conflict in her own mind regarding parents and love.

Apart from the hero and heroine , Krishnudu of Vinayakudu got more footage than anyone else. He lived up to the role which though got third lengthiest role in the movie , is only for 10 - 15 mins in total. Rest all are good as per the script. There are few cameos which just enhance the feel in the movie.

I again stress that movie is completely occupied by Chaitu and Samantha and they are brilliant. Movie is not about a journey of lovers, it is about their conversations in their journey. There is minute detail of everything involved. This tends to become slower in pace in second half and it feels as if it wants to remain in the pain of broken heart so that when the pain goes away you enjoy the victory as much as the protagonists. Climax is very satisfying and brings smile on your face. Again movie ends with more conversations between hero and heroine. I still don't understand how no one ever attempted these many dialogs in any love stories before. My signing off note is that this is the most romantic a movie can get on Indian screen. Watch it with a fresh mind you will love it.
