Rediff Review
It is refreshing to see a debutant director bring a tale of urban love and its pain in not just a convincing fashion, but with large dollops of comedy and a twist that jolts you out of your seat.
Fox Star Studios, venturing into Tamil cinema under the aegis of A R Murugadoss, looks like it's landed itself a winner with Engeyum Eppodhum (Anywhere, Anytime), directed by M Saravanan.
Velraj's camera-work and Antony's editing are excellent; but it's the SFX team that deserves kudos.
Praise goes, deservedly, to the director for choosing a simple story that focuses on the smaller joys and sorrows of life, of personal tragedy that barely makes a mark in public consciousness. Director M Saravanan weaves a tale of love, but also has other characters you might miss if you blink, but who still have their parts to play. His biggest strength is that the screenplay rarely loses pace and manages to be realistic most of the time.
The Hindu Review
Engeyum Eppodum, a production of Fox Star Studios in association with A. R. Murugadoss Productions, conveys a message, but subtly. Shouldered entirely by a young cast, it works because of the chemistry between the lead actors.
All the lead actors — Jai, Anjali, Sharvanand and Ananya — excel in their comic timing and dialogue delivery. The director has tried to keep their performances real.
Despite some clichés, the movie works well. The dialogues are crisp and the technical aspects top-notch. R. Velraj's cinematography and Kishore's editing are a standout. It is refreshing to see the way Tiruchi has been brought to screen. The elaborate sequences inside the buses have also been photographed effectively. The tight editing has kept the non-linear narrative not too confusing.
Deccan Chronicle Review
Living up to all the hype and expectations is Engeyum Eppodhum.
Though it is helmed by newcomer Saravanan, the fact that it is produced by filmmaker A.R. Murugadoss and Fox Star Studio makes it a grand affair.
It is a mix of romance and feel-good moments that end up with a riveting climax. A bus journey filled with twists and turns, ‘EE’ is a smooth ride that ends with a strong message.
Pace suffers in the first half. The movie, which has a larger message and comes in a neatly packaged manner, is a must watch for everyone!
