Cast: Jiiva, Samantha, Santhanam, Vidyullekha Raman, Ravi Raghavendra, Anupama KumarDirection: Gautham Vasudev MenonGenre: RomanceDuration: 2 hours 33 minutes.
Synopsis: Childhood buddies Varun (Jiiva) and Nithya (Samantha) are attracted to each other from their school days. When Varun decides to put aside romance on the backburner for the sake of his middle class family, it leads to misunderstandings and eventually a break-up. Are the lovers destined for a happily ever after?
Review: With Neethaane En Ponvasantham (NEP), Gautham Vasudev Menon hits notes that have been played by Tamil filmmakers quite a bit in the past — ego and misunderstandings that crop up between lovers. But where his notes differ and make this familiar tune of romance slightly refreshing is in Menon boldly acknowledging that every love affair involves a bit of pure selfishness and breaking of your parents' trust.
His Varun and Nithya are clearly madly in love with each other but what becomes an obstacle is not their parents' approval but their own priorities in life. With his brother's love affair turning out to be an eye-opener, Varun wants to realize his parents' aspirations and put romance on the backburner for a while, but the well-off Nithya is quite content to be with him every possible second. Naturally, they misunderstand each other; she thinks he is self-centered and sidelining her for his personal improvement while he feels she might remain unambitious and even fears
