A bland rom-com devoid of ambition and direction

The New Indian Express

November 23, 2024

MAKKU Thozhil Romance begins with a sequence where Ashok Selvan's character Uma Shankar delivers an Oscar acceptance speech, and he takes in applause from Brad Pitt, Christopher Nolan, Steven Spielberg, and more.

A bland rom-com devoid of ambition and direction

But soon, we learn that Uma is just dreaming. Almost two hours later, you wonder what is up with this ambitious young man who wants to be an Academy Award-winning filmmaker one day. He could have been any other type of youngster seeking romance in this mostly harmless yet cheesy rom-com from director Balaji Kesavan. Making him an assistant director serves little purpose except for mining some puerile situational humor.
