Director: Ameer
Cast: Surya, Nanda, Trisha Krishnan

'The good news is that Mounam Pesiyathu is path breaking and has shaped out well. The film is inspired from Farhan Akhtar’s Dil Chahta Hai and a couple of other brat-pack films. Ameer, a former assistant of Bala makes his debut as a director and he has to be admired for making a film quite different from the routine fare. The film gives an indication that Tamil films are coming of age.

Never before have you smiled and sighed so spontaneously while joining a bunch of guys in their quest for romance. Somewhere sometime you must have surely met Kannan (Nanda), a swaggering thick-skinned Casanova of sorts who flips over every second girl who crosses his path, Gautham (Surya) an intense brooding character who runs a restaurant on a beach side. He does not believe in love and he is always there for Kannan whenever he is in trouble. The third guy is Anji, a waiter in the restaurant who is their constant companion.

Nanda loves Maha (Neha), while his family fixes his marriage with Sandhya (Trisha), his uncle’s daughter. Nanda seeks help from Gautham to break his marriage with Sandhya and when he learns that she is in love with another guy he is relieved. Meanwhile Gautham has an anonymous lover who follows him by giving crank calls and sending cards. Gautham believes that it is none other than Sandhya and he silently starts admiring her. But to his surprise she introduces another guy as her lover. Will Kannan marry Maha? Who is Gautham’s secret admirer?

The screenplay is minty-cool and the dialogues are sharp. The film is technically savvy and the camera of Ramji is marvellous, especially the top angle shots. The songs tuned by Yuvan Shankar Raja are peppy and well picturised. Surya is amazingly candid and has delivered one of his best performances till date. Newcomer Nanda is brilliant and is the surprise packet. Trisha Krishnan fits perfectly into the role of Sandhya with the girl-next-door image.

Verdict: Three Cheers! .
