  Neethane En Ponvasantham, latest flick by Director Gautham Vasudev Menon sir after his Nadunissi Naaygal. Neethane En Ponvasantham is a romantic drama genre film which exposed the urban teenagers love and their life style. Neethane En Ponvasantham cast by Jiiva as Varun, Samantha as Nithya, Santhanam as Prakash and Vidyullekha Raman as Jenny. This story penned by Reshma Ghatala; M. S Prabhu and Om Prakash handled camera; Music provided by Maestro Ilayaraja sir and Screenplay and Direction by Gautham sir. Neethane En Ponvasantham narrating a long sweet love experience from being childhood friends until becomes a matured couple and how the couple facing the conflicts caused by their misunderstandings and egoistic characteristic itself.

   Gautham sir moves on this story with realistic with what usually will happen between couples. He also described the egoistic character which usually seems not less at urban boys and girls. Varun and Nithya always arguing each other and at last that will bring a big gap between them because of their egoistic which not allowing tolerant at all. Even that scene repeating in film in all different ages but still it’s never feel so draggy or bored because that’s obviously happened among the couples nowadays, so it seems very realistic. Never the less, that will also help nowadays couples to realize what they have done to their partner so far and what they should not do after this. This information is worth to mention in this review seems the film’s caption is ‘This could be your love story’ and obviously that will be for most of the couples who have seen the film. Furthermore, Gautham sir gave extra important to Nithya’s role in this film which means he gave attention to girls’ point of view for certain conflicts in relationship. Gautham sir also clearly has revealed the guys point of view in a relationship; especially when Varun realize that he must play his part to upgrade his family status as a very important responsible towards his parents and this realization usually will come to boys after 21 years old and usually will be the reason for most of the break-up nowadays. Big scale changes will happen to girls in case of outlook, attire, attitude once they enter into age of 23 and above and they will look very new and beautiful when appear suddenly after long gap and this will usually happen; Gautham sir has showed that also via Santhanam and Jenny relationship and that scene successfully get huge response from audience because ‘Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya’ concept which applied on their character just for humor reason. Gautham sir still applied some ‘Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya’ style in his ‘Neethane En Ponvasantham’ even this two film has their own screenplay; Varun dialogue to Nithya when she leave to overseas for holiday, ‘Yenneku ange terinje ponnu irukka…. Avale konjam seekiram vare sollu… Inge oruthe avale rombe miss pannuranu sollu’, which actually meant to Nithya is similar with Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya climax scene when Karthik and Jessy at a park in United State and the dialogues comes like this; ‘Aama irukka… Ave nadakkum pothu oru maari sirippa irukkum… Innum ave tha irukka en vaalkaiyile… Ave peru Jessy’. Gautham sir beautifully showed how the egoistic character in a person brings loses for a person especially in relationship. Same goes to Gautham sir’s Minnale; a marriage scene become a climax in Minnale and same goes to Neethane En Ponvasantham. Reema will make last minute decision in Minnale and for Neethane En Ponvasantham, Varun made the last minute decision. Additionally, Gautham sir really rocks with his voice by singing the evergreen Neethane En Ponvasantham song from Ninaivelam Nithya film for Varun character. Well known that Gautham sir always got never less interest in music and he always move on with music and obviously that’s make him to lend his voice for this film.

   In case of cast, Jiiva and Samantha really gave their best for this film. Jiiva really adapted the Varun character for this film. Seems there are more close up shots for Jiiva, he has brought the emotion to his face for all the scenes especially during argument between Varun and Nithya. Jiiva has performed very naturally and the dialogue deliveries are with the real flow. Jiiva as Gautham sir’s Varun, beautifully performed the romantic sequences with Nithya such as conversation inside car before the first kiss and argument scene with Nithya at Tsunami Colony. At the other hand, Samantha also exposed the Nithya character extra-ordinarily. Seems Gautham sir gave more important for girl’s point of view in this film, Samantha has made great effort for this film and that obviously seen in the film. Especially for argument scenes, Samantha really brought Nithya’s emotion, feelings and frustration on his face with tears which really create great impact among audience. Moreover, Samantha herself did dubbing for Nithya’s role and that’s also awesome because Samantha successfully brought in the tears into her voice also. There was huge different in Nithya’s outlook also according to age character which actually meant to Samantha's hard work towards this film. On other part, Santhanam also plays Prakash role very well in the film and as usual his timing dialogues really make audience to laugh for maximum. Other than comedy, Santhanam also plays an important role in this film as Varun’s close friend Prakash which accompanied and helped Varun to overcome his conflicts in his relationship with Nithya. Same goes to Vidyullekha Raman, plays a cute plus important role in film. Even a new comer, she successfully gets audience applause.

   M.S Prabhu and Om Prakash as Director of Photographers have provided very good visuals for the film. The color tone successfully brought audience back to 80’s. Many long take in this film and of course the credits goes to DOP’s and actors who effort to make it. Especially the argument scenes at age of 20^th at house roof port because that was a bit long argument when Varun told Nithya that he have to go to Kerala and Gautham sir successfully made it in one long take. Of course this credit goes to DOP’s because they have done it with beautiful camera movement. Without forgetting, this credit goes to Jiiva and Samantha also because they successfully made the long scene with constant emotion and body language. Gautham sir’s imagination has been beautifully captured by the DOP’s. Tsunami Colony shots and climax kissing shots are really awesome with sunlight.

   Isaigani Ilayaraja sir brilliantly provides music for the film according to the needs. All the songs are superb and that’s really suits with the situation of scene in film. Raja sir’s background score as usual make audience to go deeper into the scene. Vaanam Melle song really amazing with  visuals and Raja sir’s voice and moreover his climax conflict humming for Nithya was amazing. 

   Neethane En Ponvasantham, a film for destroy ego between relationship and of course a film to experience beautiful love and romance.
