Trailer Review: Cheliyaa

  • IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,March 09 2017]

The Trailer of 'Cheliyaa' ('Kaatru Veliyidai' in Tamil) is instructive. The film is definitely more intense than 'OK Bangaram'. Karthi, for sure, has delivered his most emotional acts yet.

The film is touted to be a romance set in Kashmir with the hero playing a pilot and the heroine a doctor. The trailer establishes the lead characters and the romance between them in the snowy and warm locations of Kashmir in the inimitable Mani Ratnam style.

As usual the visuals are superlative and the quality that one would expect from a Mani outing is simply intact. Ravi Varman who has collaborated with the master craftsman for the first time has given his best.

Karthi, who looks clean-shaven, looks fit and much younger and his delivery of romance as well as emotional dialogues make us expect yet another delectable performance from him.

Aditi Rao Hydari who makes her debut with this films looks her part and her expressions fit the requirement. Only these two are the known actors to have appeared in the trailer. May be the director wishes to keep the role and getup of RJ Balaji and others as a surprise.

AR Rahman's BGM enhances the feel of youthfulness of the film that the trailer intends to convey.

The objective of the trailer seems to be to convey that it is a pure romance flick and Mani Ratnam strongly registers that with his signature ingredients such as rich visuals, sharp dialogues and great music.
