Ullam Ketkume: Good
Shaam loves Priya.
But, Pooja loves Shyam.
Eman loves Irene and is even willing to sacrifice his career for her.
But, Irene firmly tells him that career is more important than love.
As all these five meet after a long time in Eman's marriage, their college memories flow. It's a beautiful thing; old college-mates meet each other after many years. Another beautiful thing is that Pooja(played by the bubbly Laila) joins the guy she really loves, Shyam. Such beautiful things make 'Ullam Ketkume'(earlier titled 'Pepsi') worth watching.
Director Jeeva tried a different narrative style in his earlier movie, '12B' and that failed to go well with the audience. With 'Ullam Ketkume', he employs a simple style of narrting the college lives of five teenagers and this is sure to go down well with the audience.
For one, he's chosen his actors well. You could find these two-guys-three-girls gang is almost all colleges, and Jeeva's five actors play their parts well. Shyam impresses a lot when he speaks at the farewell function, Arya looks very much like someone who listen to their hearts rather than their mind and Asin is apt as 'Perumal Koil' Priya. But, the best of the group is the bubbly, vivacious Laila. Inspite of all her pranks, one does like her, as did Shyam towards the end of the movie.
Music director Harris Jayaraj gives us some excellent tracks; 'Ennai Pandhada' stands out. The 'Ullalele' chorus is super, and blends brilliantly with the content of the film.
'Ullam Ketkume' rekindles fond college memories, it reminds you of those days. It's filled with days of fun and frolic, yet it's also filled with days of misery and madness. That's where this movie succeeds.
(This movie was a filler in Anaswara theatre here but I saw it as I hadn't watched it when it released in Chennai.)
