When the director makes a Bharathiraaja style appearance in the beginning of the movie and gives a tuition lesson explaining the story, you already know you are in for some painful movie watching.
The basic concept is kinda cute. Surya and Nila are a live-in couple (wow! Thamizh panpaadu anyone?) and they break up. When apart, their memories keep them from forgetting each other and they finally get back together again. The novelty comes from the way Surya gives shape and form to the lovers' memories (its a fairly simple concept, we dont really need a lecture from the director to get it)
So, it could have been an ok movie. But then, Surya has this knack for overdoing things. He has a weird way of speaking (it suited his child-man character in New, he sounds plain retarded here). Surya also has a creepy Simran obsession, trying to make Nila look, act and talk like her (and seeming pale in comparison).
There are tons of songs, an irrelevant side plot and with Surya gabbing non stop, you cannot reach for the mute button on your remote fast enough.
Maybe Surya should have retired after Vaali?
