Who said that, he is neglecting our South cinema after becoming busy with National and International projects? He has blown so much of freshness into the movie that you find it hard to leave the theatre, even after WATCHING his music for nearly two and half hours. What more, I may need to write at least ten more pages to praise this legendary music director AR Rahman. Dialogues by Anuradha are straight, simple, clear and striking. Superb cinematography by Manoj Paramahamsa mixed with a clever and genuine editing from Anthony give movie a tender touch. Spellbound may be the only word to describe this classic director.
Treatment wise, Gautham Vasudev Menon has made the movie look like a sweet poetry flowing from his heart directly in to your heart through this visual medium. Values of the Movie Ye Maya Chesave: Looking from the story aspect, it is wafer thin and you can’t ask anything thinner and lighter than this. What happened later? Did they marry? What happened about Karthik’s movie ‘Jessi’? form the interesting climax. Here he finds his lost first love again, the same Jessi who is still unmarried and just living with past memories of Karthik. Fast forward three years, Karthik is in USA directing the first movie named ‘Jessi’ and that too his self love story. When Karthik comes back, he observes a different Jessi who disappears overnight rejecting the love. He leaves to Goa for a shoot and things take a U turn. Soon, Karthik becomes the assistant for Puri Jagannath and a busy life follows. Crossing all the social barriers, they decide to live together but even need their family support. Mean while Jessi’s marriage is arranged with a Mallu but she cleverly escapes. They become friends and then realize that they are actually in love. Karthik expresses his love, Jessi leaves on a vacation to Kerala but Karthik follows her. The hidden fear behind Jessi’s hesitation is that, she is already in love with Karthik at the first look but was worried about both their families. Jessi who is two years elder to Karthik and coming from a different religious background hesitates to respond for the crazy love of Karthik. Fortunately Karthik’s life becomes much more interesting and colorful when he falls instantly in love with Jessi (Samantha), daughter of their Christian house owner Joseph (Devan), a Malayali.
With caring mother and father (Surekha Vani and Sanjay Swarup), Karthik’s life goes on interesting with is hero friend Krishnudu (Krishnudu). In the Movie Ye Maya Chesave: Karthik (Naga Chaitanya) is go lucky dude and a fresh Engineering graduate whose dream is to become a studio film maker that is simply a director. Behind the Movie Ye Maya Chesave: Naga Chaitanya, the handsome hero of this young generation combined with awesome looking Samantha have already been declared a super hit pair after watching the early pics of ‘Ye Maya Chesave.’ With a talented director like Gautham Vasudev Menon to lead from the front along with Academy award winner AR Rahman’s name sparkling on the posters…what else more is required to pull us towards the theatres?
