27 Aug 2016
Romance and music always has a special place in every ones heart. A remake of the Malayalam movie Thattathin Marayathu, Meendum Oru Kadhal Kadhai also follows the same line.

The film opens with a flashback in which two little boys, Vinod and his friend. Vinod sees a Muslim girl who he finds to be very attractive and falls for her.
Back to the present, Vinod (Walter Phillips), hails from a middle class Hindu family. He is nabbed for trespassing the property of a rich and influential Muslim politician and jailed. He had gone there to meet the Muslim girl, Aisha (Isha Talwar), the politician's niece with whom he's madly in love. Sub-inspector played by Manoj K Jayan and his men request him to tell his love story. Thus began the story. He tells them the first time he saw Aisha and how he was carried away by beauty. He accidentally collides with her making her fall down a staircase and she ends up in hospital. Vinod goes to the hospital and leaves a 'sorry' letter.

And thus begins his dogged pursuit of the girl. But even if she does love him, will her orthodox family, headed by her authoritarian uncle Abdul Khader (Nasser), a politician, agree to the match?
The movie is loaded with romance.
Walter Phillips who has debute with the movie has performed well. He has managed to bring out the essence of his character.
Isha Talwar, is a darling to watch. She has acted in few movie and has done her part with ease. She has set into the character as she reprized the role from the original.
Manoj K Jayan as SI has done an impressive work. He comes throughout the flick and has a meaty portion to play. Singa Muthu's online are nice and catchy. Nasser totally wasted in the movie, there is much scope for him. Thalaivasal Vijay who plays Isha's father gives a stunning performance in the climax. His impressive dialogue delivery and acting are par excellence.
The movie is a normal attempt by Mithran Jawahar and the flick is not satisfied fully.
