Story:
SK (Sivakarthikeyan) is a jobless youngster aspiring to become a film star. He is part of a drama troupe as an actor. He auditions for director K.S. Ravikumar’s film but fails in it. One fine day he meets Kavya (Keerthy Suresh) a doctor, at roadside and cupid’s arrow strikes him (literally !!!).
When he tries to propose to Kavya, he comes to know that she had been engaged to someone else. Meanwhile, he disguises himself as a nurse to get an acting chance but he fails again. However, this helps him to get introduced to Kavya as nurse Remo. Kavya helps him get a job in the hospital she works for.
Now SK in the guise of Remo uses the opportunity to make Kavya fall for him by constantly teasing her arranged marriage plan and telling her that good-looking and intelligent girls should opt for love marriage. He also meets her in his original appearance and proposes to her after a few meetings.
Whether SK succeeds in his mission of winning his girl’s heart? How does he manages to play the double game and get away with it? Watch the film on the silver screen to find out for yourselves
Analysis:
Making a film with a wafer-thin story line is certainly not a crime in Tamil cinema. Many such films have weaved great magic with their screenplay and presentation. Yet, rather than caring about his script, debutant writer-director Bakkiyaraj Kannan seems to have relied more on capitalizing on Sivakarthikeyan’s screen presence and his comic timing; the script also give some mass build-ups to raise the image of the young and highly talented actor as a mass hero.
Leave alone twists and turns, the film’s script does not have anything to sustain the interest of the audience for over 150 minutes of running time. Everything moves on predictable lines. The film does not have a strong villain (of course Keerthy’s to-be bridegroom is shown with enough evilness and has a fight sequence too). Nothing is hard for the hero.
He easily gets the complete makeover of a nurse and everyone believe that he is a woman (really brilliant effort by the make-up technicians and Sivakarthikeyan is highly convincing as a female), he gets a job in a posh hospital as a nurse without a minimum qualification, he can easily confuse (not our inference, the hero uses this word exactly) the heroine betrothed to another person and convinces her to decide according to his wishes, the heroine falls for the hero easily when he sees him as SK and finally when she comes to know that SK has actually cheated her, she forgives him after a brief expression of anger.
After all these, should we say that there is nothing in the film to root for the protagonist, something which is so essential for audience to instantly connect with a movie?
The most outrageous among the innumerable directorial flaws is this: Sivakarthikeyan sports stubble when he comes to meet Keerthy as SK within a few minutes after leaving her as Remo. Yes, agreed that logic is compromised in commercial films but why such scant regard for common sense of the audiences?
Apart from all these, the film shows hero stalking the heroine and also glorifies it in the name of pure love of ‘good boys’. Though Bakkiyaraj tries to convince us with dialogues that it is not stalking, what he shows on screen is nothing but stalking. At one point, the hero gives an inadvertent admission to stalking by saying “Ponnungala control panradhu kashtam, confuse panradhu romba easy!” (‘It is difficult to control girls but it’s very easy to confuse them’).
On the positive side, the humor quotient of the film tickles some funny bones here and there and the combination of Sivakarthikeyan with Sathish and Naan Kadavul Rajendran as his friends works out to some extent. Yogi Babu also manages to raise a few guffaws. The film has been well made as a visual treat with cinematographer P.C. Sreeram’s expertise behind the camera coming in handy.
Performances
Sivakarthikeyan is effortless as usual in making us laugh (at lesser instances than his earlier films, though!) and his dancing skills are improving with every passing film. He looks ravishing to be smitten by someone at first sight. It is his commendable achievement to look convincing as a nurse not only with the get-up but also with just the appropriate expressions, body language and dialogue delivery.
Keerthy Suresh is equally charming and her effortless change of expressions in micro- seconds is praiseworthy. The sad part is this talent has been wasted for a poorly written character which is a mere puppet in the hands of the hero.
Sathish, Rajendran and Yogi Babu (as the road side Romeo) make us laugh here and there. Saranya Ponvannan is getting repetitive as an innocent and kind mother who does crazy things for her son.
Anirudh’s songs are pleasing to hear and have been beautifully filmed. Rerecording is adequate. P.C. Sreeram’s cinematography is the biggest strength of the film. The film is a visual treat throughout. PC and art-director T. Muthuraj need to be commended for capturing Chennai more beautifully than it actually is.

Verdict:
Remo has some funny moment. the show despite some plusses in form of acting and cinematography.The movie is good and I am sure that you all are going to love it for sure. But also, the movie has some big weak points and that’s not good for the makers. Overall, upcoming days can tell more about the movie.
