My Movie – Ye Maya Chesave

Ye Maya Chesave is a refreshing & sweet love story with not too many characters but only Karthik & Jesse, akka Naga Chaitanya and Samantha. I watch lot of Hollywood movies which are romantic in genre and always wondered when will a Indian director make a full length romance movie purely dealing with emotions not in a filmy way but realistic. And the answer to my question was Ye Maya Chesave. The subtle treatment to the movie for some might look boring but Gawtam V Menon has honestly made a full length movie focusing only on love and the emotions that every one might have experienced at some point of time in their life. One needs to commend everyone who were behind the conceptualization of such a movie and bring it to reality; especially making it in Telugu was a big risk! I don’t want to comment on Telugu audience tastes, as everyone is entitled to difference of opinions.

I watched this movie in Massachusetts, USA, yesterday with very few audience probably 70+ and by interval I could see the reactions from the audience face that they like this movie but were not able to admit it because this is not a regular telugu movie where you have a big introduction scene for hero with a song and hundred dancers around, there was no separate comedy track where the audience can have a heart full laugh, there is no big stunt sequences where the bad guys fly in all directions but all the movie can offer them is tender love story and rekindle their senses and take them to their yester years and remind them of their first love!

Love at first sight and a few scenes later Karthik tells Jesse that he loves her, this scene plays out so naturally and the girl foolishly joking with him and he makes his point which doesn’t look like he planned to say it, but, it just comes out so naturally.

Beautiful scenes like when Jesse wants to talk to Karthik in private, she walks past him and communicates her message with a subtle moment of eyes, this shot was pure director’s brilliance and actress ability to carry out the shot without over doing it.

The central park, NY scene where they meet after 3years and clear their misunderstandings and Karthik after proposing to marry him reiterating the fact that this moment if lost, they might never have it again, will certainly bring memories of lost opportunities for many.

As told by Jeevi garu, it’s a film portraying the straight forward nature of man and complex nature of woman. But Jeevi garu it could be the vise-versa in some other cases. Jeevi garu I agree with your rating of 4/5 for the brave effort of people involved in making the movie, though this movie I am afraid is not going to be a trendsetter of any sought, it is still a different love story (which is also the tagline for the movie). But if Idle brain needs to please all kind of audience visiting the website for ratings then Jeevi garu you need to come up with something like this. Instead of rating it for 5, rate it for 10 with each point for the following departments: Story, Screenplay, Direction, Performance, Action- Stunts, Comedy Track, Music, Lyrics, Cinematography (foreign locales) & last but not least Choreography (item songs if any additional points)……over all I was just kidding about these rankings and I truly appreciate your sincere effort to promote a different film, just continue what your heart says Jeevi Garu! I have been following Idle brain for 9yrs now.
