This movie was so much better than I expected, which was a simple romantic comedy with predictable "pass each other in the street" scenarios throughout. I was pleasantly surprised to find a love story that touched my heart. Renuka me non's vulnerability and pride in her Grand father made me cry and Barath's sensitivity and devious behavior were so very sweet.I liked the cartoon character of Barath which is the masterpiece character in Indian cinema.Great and unforgettable movie. This movie was warm, funny, smart and great. Barath and Renuka light up the screen and Barath is the perfect hero! The movie was 2 hours long, felt like 10 minutes, and I didn't want it to be over!

This is one of the great Indian movie I've ever seen .The director of this stands up to the international level with his screenplay, visualizations dialogues etc .it can be called as one of the greatest romantic movies of all time . iam sure that this director will go places and reach heights in his future .
Director of this movie has a great music knowledge to select such beautiful songs and background score . the screenplay in this movie is so interestingly played and written by the director himself like a rollercoster ride which made me sit in the tip of the chair as the movie progress. that is because of the sheer knowledge of the director.. looking forward for the next creation of this great director

February 14 isn't any different from the many sappy love stories that have existed in various cultures for centuries. and this movie is no exception. In this modern-day,the movie is set in in the hill stations of India, a fictitious decaying urban location.
The action really starts when hero falls in love with heroine who is a abroad born girls where she never likes to stay in India... hero tries to keep her in India as to convey his true I've to her The most brilliant aspect of the movie is the urban landscape setting, the lighting, and the cinematography. The movie is also funny at times, and director's direction is excellent. The acting is mixed: hero and heroine don't generate any chemistry on the screen, and further, they appear to have fundamental problems managing the love dialog. In fact, I thought many of the performers were unable to deliver the dialog effectively and convincingly and I think this is the biggest flaw in the movie. It is as if the performers themselves don't understand what they're saying and are just reciting lines from memory.
The best performance is by hero who uses the dialog in a convincing manner to make the audience laugh and to generate empathy when he is crying.
this is movie can be called as one of the best romantic movie and its great movie and a must watch movie

I have NO words to describe HOW WELL this movie has been made. This movie rediscovers the beauty of LOVE, long after the success of DDLJ, when creativity started dwindling with more and more movies trying to replicate it rather than coming up with something altogether different or FRESH. With a very good cast, a nice blend of wit and sentiment, and many other pluses, this romantic comedy remains as enjoyable and charming as ever. The fluffy but pleasant story benefits greatly from the director's touch, since he had the knack of giving significance to little things without taking them or himself too seriously. Presenting his characters honestly yet sympathetically, he makes the somewhat contrived situation seem believable and worth caring about.Wonderful movie with super hit songs. A must see movie for all movie lovers.I'd recommend the DVD if you don't know the language.
awesome movie

February 14, make no mistakes about it, is a great love subject. With a name as it has got, what can it otherwise be. This youthful romance packs plenty of sentiments and style, to emerge as a viable time-pass.
In the shades of Kadhal Kottai, the movie dwells on the heroine falling in love with a youth whom she has not seen. Their only contact is of course the letters.
A great screenplay by a new and talented director Hochimin sustains the much-needed tempo in this movie, which otherwise goes predictable. The sequence of events narrated by Hochimin makes the whole thing engrossing.
Equally supportive are Rathnavelu's noteworthy cinematography and melodious numbers by Bharadwaj.
The movie begins with Bharath (Siva), a native of Thamaraikulam in Madurai going to Bangalore to take up his higher studies. He comes across Renuka Menon (Pooja) in the college and falls in love with her instantly. its really a must watch movie please don't miss it . this movies is made up to international level .. great work by the director .. congrats to him

'February 14' , we are totally entertained,

This is an interesting romantic and funny movie from Hosimin, and it fulfilled my long waiting desires to watch it. And it should inspire all the directors of his genre. The scenes have been mostly shot at outdoor spots like bangalore, pollachi, chigmagalore and chennai, and this entertains us as if we are experiencing ourselves a real tour. Again and again seeing daily studio scenes made the eyes wounded and fed up the mind. And thats why it's a nice pick up at nice time.
Although the storyline is not that new with the old movies as a boy meets girl and slowly fall in love but the way Hosimin presented each and every scenes are worth to watch. From the beginning to the end I personally enjoyed the whole movie, and happy to spend some amount of bucks on it. After Kaadhal this is second time in which barath has proved that he has all the required potentialities to become a genius actor one day. But I was damn irritated by renuka menon's irritating and annoying much chatty and talkative role. But still then, beside this the whole story became a sweet and funny love story. For Barath's lovers and fans, you must have got something relaxed after watching this unique love story (just like ME!!!). I love the Barath cartoon so much!

A wonderful film that should be watched again and again

I saw this film randomly the other day while at a friend's house. She comes from Indian decent and had always nagged me to watch tamil films with her but I always declined. Being a general film fanatic, I agreed to watch this film, not expecting much. But as soon as I got into the story (and got over the horrible and sometimes non-visible subtitles) I was completely hooked! Whether it was the directing or the wonderful screen presence of the actors, somethng about this film had the ability to capture the emotions of the viewer. I can say that having been used to watching generally Hindi films, february14 is a romance that stands out from the typical Hollywood love story -- paying attention to detail and character development in a way in which I've rarely seen before. Although I was quite new to Indian "musical numbers" in which they incorporate within their films and even found the performances in them a little bit on the cheesy side, I throroughly enjoyed some of the songs as well. Great melodies, especially the title song'un peyar ennada' -- which added to the emotional impact of the movie itself. I wll definitely be looking out for more Indian films in the future.
Awesome movie

I have seen the movie,In the Indian film industry the Tamil movies taking a good path, because of the creators as well as directors.The movie February 14 is simply superb, and the movie takes a beautiful love subject which feels a heart of love and romance. And the director controls the movie in excellent screenplay.And the cast performance is excellent and the animation character gives a grade for a entire movie.
Each of the multi-ethnic characters is surrounded by irony, as each time a scene rewinds from another's perspective we find that the characters are not in fact what the other(s) perceive them to be, despite the actions that brought them to intersect.
Thanks to director for giving a good movie like February 14.
