Sillunu Oru Kadhal - Awful.

The first half can almost pass for a chick flick. The second is a piece of excrement worse than an episode of a TV serial.

The plot is weak. The comedy is lame. The dialogues are awkward. The movie doesn't seem to end... Please don't get me wrong. I like bad movies. I'm entertained by them. But Sillunu/jillunu -i-don't-care is so beyond bad I just can't understand how this film got made. You'd think Surya or Jo would've realized at some point that the movie was pointless but no.


Arrgghhhhhhhh.. this movie cannot be reviewed.
Let me just say this movie has absolutely no redeeming qualities. Even Rahman's brilliant music cannot save this mess. Remember what you imagined in your mind when you heard the songs the first time? Let those visuals stay in your head. Do not let the director overwrite it and leave a bad taste everytime you play it... lord, what were they thinking filming New York Nagaram in Switzerland? Every other song is a poorly shot misfit.

Man, this was bad!

Avoid. Like the plague.
Two thumbs way down!

Wow.. u put exactly what i thought into words! Seriously.. Just a cheesy plot and a couple of discreet incidents (which have no idea what the plot is) put together as a movie. Bhoomika is irritating. Vadivelu's comedy is annoying. The movie ruins the songs completely.

Manasatchiyae illama oru padam eduthirukkanga.. Andha padathukkana, adhukku munadi potta news reel a parava illai!

Anna, I feel your pain. Inspite of repeatedly telling myself everytime not to watch a hyped movie first day first show, I still end up doing it. :(


Coreeta sonneenga Rebel madam. Padathukku munnala potta advertisements a paravailla.. They were more creative and passionate about what they were selling.
Indha padame oru periya advertisment madri dhaan irundhuchu. Swift, Maggi, Boost, TVS Apache... RmKV, Radio Mirchi, Gopal pal podi, Ashwini hair oil ellam yen vittutaanga nu theriyala... They could've had slabs.
Shot of product for 1 minute- 10 lakhs
Onetime occcurence of brandname in dialogue- 2 lakhs
Mention competitor's product in a derogatory manner- 20lakhs.
I suspect this movie is a platform to further promote the Surya-Jothika brand.
