The presence of real life lovebirds Surya and Jyothika in the lead roles has made ‘Nuvvu Nenu Prema’ really hot. Moreover, the presence of Bollywood beauty Bhoomika is another strength. In the film, the lead pair is forced into an institution called marriage though they are not interested. It shows both dark and bright sides of love and romance. It also brings to light the different meaning of life at different times. You would fall in love with the very idea of love on seeing real life couple Surya and Jyothika romancing in the film.

Kundavi (Jyothika) and her friends in a village near Tenkasi think that a perfect marriage is possible only through love marriage. Kundavi fails to find a suitable man in the village while her friends settle down with ordinary people. This makes her go for normal marriage. Fate makes her marry Gautham (Suriya), who is also not keen to tie the knot.

They are the most romantic couple in Mumbai. Gautham is a leading mechanic in a car company and Kundavi also works. They lead an absolutely blissful life with an adorable child. However, Kundavi comes to know Gautham’s past through his diary. Gautham, an engineering student was in love with Aishwarya (Bhumika), daughter of a local MP, who is his junior in the same college. They get married following many romantic moments but Aishwarya’s dad takes her away and leaves Gautham hapless in the dark. Gautham couldn’t find Aishwarya and so, he marries Kundavi.

Now, Kundavi comes to know the intensity of Gautham’s love for Aishwarya. This makes the loving wife to look out for impossibility. Will her plans work? What has happened to Aishwarya? Who will get Gautham in the end? You have to watch the film to know all these unanswered questions.
 
Suriya’s performance in the film is commendable. He has matured a lot as an actor and the expressions on his face, as a responsible family man is incredible. The intensity of his love for Aishwarya looks real. Girls will surely love to watch him on the big screens. Jyothika is also wonderful. Her chemistry with Suriya as wife and husband is a treat to watch. The pain she goes through between her love and her husband’s past love will make the eyes of the viewers wet. Her facial expressions in the close-up shots tell more than words could explain. Kollywood will loss a gem if she stops acting after her marriage. Bhumika is graceful and full of charm. Her romance with Surya in college and the different stages she went through are cool. Vadivelu’s comedy track is small yet sweet and Santhanam is hilarious with his witty one-liners. However, Sukanya has nothing much to do.

A.R. Rehman’s music is one of the strengths of the film. His songs explore the emotional shades of the film. All the songs sound sweet and the background music is also cool. Raajsekhar’s camera work also deserves special mention. He has captured the intimate moments of Gautham and Kundavi beautifully. Anthony’s editing work is also very good.

On the whole, it is director Krishna who deserves a warm pat from the back. He has handled such a tough topic with ease. He has explored different shades of love beautifully. Film buffs should not miss this terrific entertainer.
