Prabhu Deva has taken the ever fading genre of Romance and has succeeded. Love is the main theme of the movie that is said in exotic locations of France. Will there be a best name for a romantic character other than Kamal? Jayam Ravi as Kamal, a committed and hard working businessman who is busy with business for 11 months and spends the rest one month away from home, certianly at a hot tourist destination (Paris).

Jayam Ravi is stylish at his best and proves his mettle once again as a chocolate boy! Hanshika Motwani, the happening lady in Kollywood as Lolita does her job well in the movie. She romances well with Jayam Ravi and their on screen chemistry is awesome. Though she flawed in delivering the dialogues well, it is well managed by her dubbing artist.

The movie revolves around Kamal (Jayam Ravi) and Lolita (Hanshika Motwani) who tries to help Kamal come out of a trap that is set for him. Kamal who has no belief in love falls in love. As he considers love as a committed task which will disappoint for sure. The rest is how Lolita changes his mind and conquers his heart. Jayam Ravi at his best scene after scene, Rajusundaram after Unnale Unnale is hilarious in the movie. Rajasekhar (Suman) as Lolita's father did his job well with his acting prowess. Prakash Raj does a blink and miss role!

Prabhu Deva has come out with a beautiful love story and presented in a clean way with enormous support from all the rechnical departments.
Nirav Shah's lenses speaks throughout the movie. Editing is by Antony, need to say more? Kudos to Harris for magical love songs and the BGM's. Songs are picturised in exotic locales and are well choreographed! Make up department deserves a special mention. The movie is good except for the nativity as the story happens in France. Engeyum Kaadhal is Prabhu Deva's Victorious attempt.
